Disegno, the Italian word for drawing, is an ambitious and sensuous book on Danish artist Christian Lemmerz and his artistic endeavour. It contains 199 illustrations including selected drawings by Lemmerz and photographs of his private sketchbooks. The text is based on a number of conversations between Lemmerz, Therese Maria Gram, and art historian Marie Nipper.
The publication is supported by:
Danish Arts Foundation, The New Carlsberg Foundation, the Beckett Foundation, A. P. Møller Foundation, Lilian and Dan Finks Foundation, and C.A.C. Foundation.
"Når man trækker bogen om Christian Lemmerz' tegninger ud af dens kassette, siger det svuusjjh. Sådan en luksuslyd, der signalerer fejlfri formgivning og det overskud, der skal til, for at en bog ledsages af sin egen kasse." (Trine Ross, Politiken)
"Tindrende flot, velredigeret bog om billedkunstneren Christian Lemmerz' tegninger."
(Ulla Strømberg, Kulturkupeen)
