H.R. Giger [Taschen]

[Biomechanical] [Nightmare] [Aliens]

H.R. Giger

Taschen, Germany. 2007. First edition hardcover. Intact dust jacket, unmarked interior, one small tear to the dust jacket, but otherwise an excellent copy.

A fantastic overview of the works of everyone's favorite biomechanical Swiss nightmare designer H.R. Giger. From his demonic plans for the Swiss subway, to the infamous Giger Bar, this lavishly illustrated, supremely well construction overview of his works is the definitive synthesis of his brilliant, and frankly, hilarious, mind. Of particular interest is the section on Giger's personal art collection, with some interesting ruminations on his peers at the time.Also, check out hrgiger.com - some of the best web design this side of the millennium.

Rest in Slime Mr. Giger, we love you.
