‘Codex Bierenbroodspot’ is a book that is an art object at the same time, captured and tied in real red copper. The cover is engraved with special characters, in a font designed by Gerti Bierenbroodspot. When you open your own copy you can smell the scent of cedar wood perfume.
In this Codex you’ll find a report and stories of lost civilizations, and of countries where the artist, whether on horseback or with her Land Rover went looking for painting adventure. The Codex became a sculpture with 50 new paintings, hundreds of photographs and collages, and chronicles of places and areas where Gerti lived and worked and who are now often robbed of their magic or even destroyed by war or tourism.
‘Codex Bierenbroodspot’ is a numbered limited edition with only 100 copies. This book is for the art enthusiast, for the real collector.
