NEW PUBLICATION FROM THE RENAISSANCE SOCIETY Yutaka Sone Snowflake 2006, 32 pages, all color ISBN 9-41548-50-3 $50.00 Members: $40.00 This unique publication is based on a hand-bound book of collages made by Yutaka Sone on one of his favorite themes — snow, or more specifically, his love of the winter landscape and delight in winter sports. Sone applied white duct tape and painted with the aptly named White-Out on magazine images of mountains and snowboarders. On top of it all he added fragments of printed lyrics he wrote for the Snow Flake Band, a short-lived art rock outfit. A facsimile of the original collages, including the texture of duct tape and thickly applied White-Out, this gorgeous book is an astounding feat of offset print technology.
