The abecedarium of the artist's death

Viennese artist Moussa Kone (born 1978) creates detailed, Gorey-esque, mostly black-and-white ink drawings that are often darkly humorous and socially critical. This delightful artist's book follows the form of an abecedary, filled with gory but humorous cautionary tales for aspiring artists in the contemporary art world: "W is for Wally for sold her soul to a collector, X is for Xaver whose widow became his estate's director." Each entry is tabbed, address-book style. This pocket-sized volume is the ideal gift for those daring to pursue a career in art.
