Benjamin, Walter / Ottersbach, Heribert. Angelus Novus: Über den Begriff der Geschichte. Düsseldorf/Poestenkill, New York, Kaldewey Press, 1993. Folio (51 cm). 26 pp. One of 50 copies from the regular edition from a total edition of 61. Ottersbach’s complex collaged images perfectly counterpoint the famous Benjamin text, presented only in its essence: the inexorable course of the angel, the mounting tower of the detritus of “progress,” his inability to tear his eyes away from the storm of history, and the humble, pedestrian human elements that are, in the end, simple detritus as well. [Edition Kaldewey - No. 20].

Burroughs, William S. / Apfelschnitt, Carl. Mummies. Düsseldorf/Poestenkill, New York, Kaldewey Press, 1982. Folio (37 cm). 30 pp. From an edition of 70 copies, the present copy is in perfect condition. Apfelschnitt’s beautifully textured etchings are at once at least slightly whimsical, in character with the text, and austerely serious, registering the ineluctable fact of death and the perennial grim determination to overcome it. Apfelschnitt, who would die of AIDS in 1990 at the age of 42, seems to be suggesting that we are mummies already, walking dead absurdly shoring up our immortality. [Edition Kaldewey - No. 5].

Celan, Paul / Kaldewey, Gunnar. Poems. Poestenkill, New York, Kaldewey Press, 2001. Folio (49 cm). [24] pp. The elegiac tenor of Celan’s poem is wonderfully captured by the paper itself on which the poem is printed. And Kaldewey’s deliquescent etchings suggest the tears of loss, the blurring of memory, the poignant futility of love. [Edition Kaldewey No. 34].
