Overview

Dürer in the Window: Reflexions on Art is a selection from the world-renowned poet’s writing on visual art of the past 50 years. The artist Richard Tuttle has designed for Roof Books an 80-page full-color book to compliment Guest’s writing. Included in Tuttle’s design are the paintings and sculptures described in Guest’s poetry and essays as well as the world-class design inimical to Tuttle’s own work as an artist. Dürer in the Window is a true collaboration between Guest and Tuttle resulting in a unique picture of the art-world that book collectors, readers of poetry, and libraries will be pleased to own.
