Boltanski, Christian (Artist/Subject); Fox, Gerald (Director) & Bragg, Melvyn (Editor/Presentor) : Christian Boltanski: The Phaidon Press Documentary Film

Phaidon Press, London, England, 1990

ISBN 071486045X

First Edition / First Printing. Fine in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 2 pages. Rare Christian Boltanski collectible set. A fine copy of the Phaidon Press film release on PAL VHS tape with a pristine copy of the film transfer on NTSC DVD. The original is the VHS tape, which is now rare, as it was released by Phaidon Press in the PAL system only. There is no American NTSC version. The film transfer on NTSC DVD is not a Phaidon Press release and was made (by a professional technician, not by us) to enable you to view the film hassle-free. Its quality is irreproachable. Presents "Christian Boltanski". The very first English-language film on Christian Boltanski. He appears throughout the film, a shy yet irresistible presence, who constantly avoids looking directly at the camera, like a primitive who is afraid it will rob him of his soul. Together with his definitive collection of interviews, "The Possible Life of Christian Boltanski" (2009), in which his voice leaps off the page and comes alive, the film introduces and appraises the man-behind-the-work, the body of work itself, and the achievement of the greatest French artist of our time. An absolute "must-have" title for Christian Boltanski collectors. This film is a classic. As far as we know, this is the only set available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, pristine beauties. Please note: The original is a PAL VHS tape, long out-of-print and now rare. There is no NTSC version. So the tape comes with a film transfer on NTSC DVD for convenient, enjoyable viewing. The quality of the DVD faithfully captures the VHS original. A rare set thus. One of the greatest artists of our time. A fine set. (SEE ALSO OTHER CHRISTIAN BOLTANSKI TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
