About This Item

Signed by Nanna Hänninen. Bound in grey and black linen over boards, lettering stamped in black to upper cover. Thirteen double-page reproductions of a series of digital c-prints on diasec. Short essay by Urs Stahel in English and German. Biography of Nanna Hänninen. Book is housed in a grey card slipcase with white label printed in black. Book and slipcase are in excellent, fine condition. The print (500x395mm) is housed in a black board portfolio case lettered in white with a black ribbon tie. Some slight marking to the case but the print is pristine. Recordings is one of two artists' monographs published by Nanna Hänninen (the other being "Fear and Security"). Her work, which is principally photographic draws on 20th century abstract art but it is also rooted in the cold, open spaces of her native Finland. Her early work was, according to Staher, "predominantly introspective". Recordings, on the face of it, represents a move by Hänninen towards the exterior for these are ostensibly landscapes; but so abstract and ethereal are they that the sense of objective place is captured only in the titles of the works. These moving and eerie works are the record of an interior response to the exterior landscape.

About Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
