[Signed] [First Edition] Book Sculpture SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION Pasquier-Desvignes

Original book sculpture with an Old Testament motif, featuring the serpent and an apple nested inside an economics work. Bruno Pasquier-Desvignes defies classification. THE NEW YORK TIMES calls him "part tinkerer and part storyteller, a cross between Alexander Calder and Jean Tinguely;" filmmaker James Ivory compares him to Picasso, noting his ability to "pick up any old thing lying around, see its possibilities for transformation and then turn it into a new and enchanting thing" (RURAL INTELLIGENCE). Pasquier-Desvignes's book sculptures highlight his ingenuity, creativity, and humor, as he toys with the idea of a codex as a container. Pasquier-Desvignes's choice of the book SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION: A STUDY IN THE FUNCTIONAL WEAKNESSES OF CAPITALISM by John Blair as a setting for the serpent and forbidden apple from the story of Adam and Eve presents an interesting commentary on morality, economic, and religion. 9.5'' x 6''. Original black cloth binding. Bookblock fused with glue, with rectangular recess cut into center. Metal apple and spring-like snake mounted inside recess. Signed by Pasquier-Desvignes and dated June 1985 to "title page." Binding with mild edgewear, a bit of rubbing to rear board. Some toning to front endpapers, light foxing to recess background. Solid.
