Items related to Building Stories
In Chris Ware's own words, '"Building Stories" follows the inhabitants of a three-flat Chicago apartment house: a thirty-year-old woman who has yet to find someone with whom to spend the rest of her life; a couple who wonder if they can bear each other's company for another minute; and finally an elderly woman who never married and is the building's landlady...' The scope, the ambition, the artistry and emotional heft of this project are beyond anything even Chris Ware has achieved before.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. A stunning huge and heavy publication that's difficult to classify. Essentially this is a 'concept art' project. 14 distinctively discrete books, booklets, magazines, newspapers and pamphlets. Hard to describe but simple to appreciate! This is a high quality assembly inside a large box. It is still sealed, so all the examples photographed are on the outside of the box. It may require extra postage depending on the destination.
