Schriften, in holz geschnitten von Jost Hochuli

Since we opened this shop, we have all but ceased collecting for ourselves. Whatever comes in must go out in order to keep this place going. One of the very few exceptions to that principle is our copy of Schriften, in holz geschnitten. We love this thing. This, however, is not our copy. It was Max Caflisch’s copy, inscribed to him by Jost Hochuli. Anyway, these letters cut in wood by house-favorite Hochuli are magnificent. And a little peculiar. Large prints made directly from the beech blocks which were cut with care and beautifully printed. Dedicated to Willi Baus, Caflisch (as mentioned above), Rudolf Hostetter, Max Koller, and the memory of Walter Käch and Jan Tschichold, this is a beautiful thing and a constant source of inspiration. It’s something we take out and look at on rainy days. We love.
