A must buy this month- "13"
 
A portfolio of thirteen original intaglios housed in a clam-shell box is the
outcome of a collaboration between Am I Collective and Warren Editions. For this project, Am I Collective took inspiration from the stereotypical and unlucky events in South Africa and uses irony to interpret the tales of misfortune. From this thirteen scenarios were depicted in the intaglio medium by thirteen illustrators. Hence this portfolio is titled, 13. The illustrators at Am I Collective were responsible for the images. Warren Editions collaborated with each of illustrator so as to translate their image into an intaglio print.

Price: R 13,000.00
