= Saphire 44ff. The book is considered Légers artistic legacy. "Fernand Léger made this unusual artists book towards the end of his life. He did not use reproductions of existing works, but conceived and developed the theme and prints especially for the project. Léger created both the 83 prints - of which 34 are in color and 49 in black-and-white, and the text. His steady line, distinct areas of color and elegant penmanship lent themselves particularly well to lithography. The actual printing took place in close collaboration with the celebrated printing company Mourlot Frères of Paris. In Cirque, Léger explores the theme of the circus and rural life, drawing parallels between cyclists in the country (Léger himself) and the acrobats performing in the circus. Léger exploits spherical shapes and curves to portray both the circus and the natural world" (www.stedelijk.nl).

= The rare first artist's book by Richard Long. The text reading: "Richard Long's 'sculpture for Martin and Mia Visser' was conceived for the purpose of photographic reproduction. Richard Long made a system of trenches, which was created according to special camera views. Seen from these camera views relations become evident between marks in the landscape such as stone-walls, water-falls, lanes and Long's trenches. The collectors Martin and Mia Visser acquired Richard Long's work as a photographic reproduction for publication in an edition of 500 issues. According to Richard Long's idea the photographs in hand do not have the function of a documentation: It is the 'sculpture made for Martin and Mia Visser'."
