Mirtha Dermisache. Diario No.1
1975 Anvers, Guy Schraenen éditeur, 8p. 26:47 cm., third edition of this newspaper inspired work, first edition to be published in Europe, one of 300 copies signed by the artist.
Artists’ book issued in folio size newspaper format. Mirtha Dermisache features here a particular style of asemic writing without grammar or syntax. She herself coined for her abstract writing the name graphisms. They have no informational remit, but preserve in this case the typotecture of the newspaper.
A powerful example of the écriture of Argentinian artist Mirtha Dermisache. Well preserved copy, no folds!
