THE BOOK OF LADDERS is finally here!
A
big thank you to Paul Carey-Kent for being such a great collaborator on
this mad project for the last 3 years; to Sodio for achieving such a
slick design; to Fogra for your impeccable printing quality, and last
but not least to our outstanding artists and their respective
representatives without whom this book wouldn’t exist.
Book Launch
Come join Gabriela Bustillos from Sodio and I on Thursday 2 February at 7pm in Casa Bosques, Roma Norte, Mexico City to discuss the process of designing this book together.
The Book of Ladders: 100 Contemporary Artworks by Adeline de Monseignat and Paul Carey-Kent features
100 works by some of today’s leading international artists,
supplemented by the ladder’s significance in mythology, history and
