description

Artists' book featuring photographs of highschool students in Vienna: "Published on the occasion of the exhibition Christian Boltanski, Le Lycée Chases... Christian Boltanski discovers in a book the photograph of the 1931 graduate class of the Lycée Chases (Gymnasium Chajes), the Jewish highschool in Vienna. Through the cropping and enlargement of the photographs faces take on a death-mask quality accentuated by the choice of transparent paper." -- from Catalogue: Books, Printed Matter, Ephemera 1966-1991.
