Fuzzy bunnies, big-eyed girls, meat, magic, and mystery

If you couldn't afford to pay $6000 for the "art edition" of Mark Ryden's book Pinxit (it's sold out anyway), Taschen has thoughtfully introduced a popular-priced edition of the 366-page book, for $1000.

Many books have been published on Mark Ryden before, but none like this large-format monograph, released in a boxed Collector’s Edition of 1,000 numbered copies, each signed by the artist; and also available in an Art Edition of only 50 copies, which come with an artwork. This sweeping retrospective brings together nearly two decade’s worth of Mark Ryden’s paintings and works on paper, broadening the horizons of his uncanny universe and bringing it to the world, one big page at a time.

Collector's Edition – No. 51–1,050

Limited to 1,000 individually numbered copies, each signed by Mark Ryden

Printed on archival-quality paper

Quarter-bound book with leather spine

Front cover features gold-relief embossing crafted by the master printers at Pressure Printing

Comes in a clamshell box covered in cloth fabric

Also available in an Art Edition of 50 copies with a silk screen print

  Mark Ryden was a talented painter from a young age. Here’s his yearbook pics!

  Wot no “see inside” from Amazon?
  Shame, I was hoping to see a single page worth more than an average book.

  Looking at this price tag makes my sacrifice of $99 ten years ago for his Anima Mundi book seem paltry in comparison 

• [Noctilucent Studios]

  $1,000? For a book? throw in a nice steak dinner and you got yourself a deal.

     Great, that means the iPad edition will be approximately $980. :-(

  At that price I’d hope that you would get a proper letter “E” instead of a Sigma in the title.

  I thought books are dead. How much for the Kindle version?

  Garbage art. Far too precious and twee and tastefully controversial.
