This Way Brouwn









[Stanley Brouwn] Igno Cuypers
This Way Brouwn
Amsterdam, The Netherlands: Harry Ruhé, 2020
34 pp., 35 x 30 x 4.5 cm., boxed
Edition of 10 signed and numbered copies


An archival box containing 25 original photos of an artist famous for not wanting to be photographed (or  documented at all) performing his most notorious work. This Way Brouwn involved the artist stopping passersby in the street and asking them for directions, which he had them scrawl on a pad of paper. The results were then rubber-stamped with the title and shown in vitrines as a kind of vernacular drawings. 

The photographs were taken by the Dutch photographer Igno Cuypers - brother to jazz pianist Leo Cuypers. The work is signed and numbered by Cuypers in an edition of ten copies. 

It is published by Harry Ruhé, who had previously produced a binder catalogue raisonne of the artists' editions. This Way Brouwn is available from Ruhé, here
