James Jean's "Zugzwang" Limited Edition Art Exhibition Book!

If you weren't able to attend James Jean exhibition at Tokyo's Hidari Zingaro Gallery, curated by Takashi Murakami, then you are in luck as Jean's newest book, Zugzwang, is a catalog of the new work that were displayed there, as well as exploratory works, process images, and even ancillary pieces created during same period. Measuring 12¼" × 9⅛", this 80-page collection pulls out all the stops: gilded edges, a signed & embossed bookplate, and every buyer even gets a chance to win one of three original drawings by Jean! Limited to 2000 copies in the first edition ($40 each) plus 250 "special edition" copies ($200 each) that include a cloth slipcase with magnetic enclosure and an exclusive foil-embossed letterpress print. But, of course, if you want to guarantee yourself one of those original illustrations then you can splurge on the "art edition" ($1000), which includes all the bonuses of the "special edition" along with an original piece, though this AP version is limited to a mere 3 copies. All three variations of this book release will be available on August 9th, 2016 at 8am Pacific time in Jean's online shop.
