Highly sought-after, out-of-print 1990 facsimile edition of Die Kunstismen 1914–1924 (The Isms of Art), published by Lars Müller Publishers.

Why This Book is Valuable & Highly Collectible:

Avant-Garde Milestones: Originally published in 1925, Die Kunstismen is widely considered one of the most influential graphic design and typography manifestos of the 20th century.
Designed by Masters: Co-edited and visually structured by pioneering Constructivist El Lissitzky and Dadaist master Hans Arp, this book lays out the fundamental visual frameworks for iconic design periods like Constructivism, Suprematism, Dada, and Futurism.
The Definitive Reproduction: Because original 1925 copies regularly command four-figure prices at specialized auctions, this meticulous 1990 Lars Müller facsimile serves as the premier collectible alternative. It faithfully replicates Lissitzky’s exact experimental “New Typography” asymmetric layouts, bold mathematical grids, and legendary composition work.
Out of Print: This specific 1990 reprint has been long out of print and is heavily pursued by art libraries, typographers, and private avant-garde collectors worldwide.

Condition Details:

Interior: Clean, crisp, and excellent. The pages are completely free of writing, underlining, highlighting, foxing, or thumb-tears. The binding remains tight and structurally sound.
Exterior / Cover: Good condition with minor shelf wear. The black-and-white pictorial boards show light rubbing on the panels and minor corner/edge bumping consistent with standard bookshelf storage over the years.
