Der belgische Malerstar Luc Tuymans präsentiert als neues Künstlerbuch in der EDITION EX LIBRIS: „Christopher Caudwell – Illusion and Reality (1937)“. Die Edition Ex Libris hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Bücher, die für das Verständnis der Arbeit zeitgenössischer Künstler von Bedeutung sind, dem Vergessen zu entreissen. Durch den von Luc Tuymans entworfenen Buchumschlag wird dieser ansonsten unveränderte Reprint zu einem Künstlerbuch, das in den Bibliotheken der Sammler und Bibliophilen unter dem Namen Luc Tuymans eingeordnet werden wird und helfen wird, das Werk dieses Malers, der sich seit Jahren mit den Phänomenen der Wahrnehmung von geschichtlicher Realität und den sich daraus ergebenden Illusionen auseinandersetzt, in einem neuen Licht zu sehen.
