This Rimy River - Vaughan Oliver and v23 Vaughan
Oliver is one of the most powerful and explosive graphic designers of
his time. This Rimy River is a catalog of an exhibition held at the
Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles in 1994. Long out of print, it has
been sought after by designers and collectors who have followed the
work of v23. Most admired for his collaborative energy and imagination,
Oliver set the stage for a graphic revolution in the eighties and
nineties. His impact was left on the post-punk music industry and
influenced a generation of designers exploring the possibilities of
type and print. The book is produced in very high caliber, the process
of production being an important element of the design: 72 pages, Paperback, 10 1/2'' x
14 3/4'' (375 x 265 mm), 200 color illustrations, English, 2nd edition

| This Rimy River Limited Edition of 400 Limited
to 400 copies, this special edition of the Los Angeles exhibition
catalogue uses the regular edition as its starting point but bears it
little resemblance. Coming eight years after the Lonely Is An Eyesore
deluxe box design it marks another watershed in v23's studio output. |

The resulting palimpsest, more painting than book, is finished with end papers that incorporate snapshots of the L.A. show bound in a patterned plexiglass hardcover, and housed in a luxurious velvet slipcase.
