Ian Curtis: Memento Mori by Kevin Cummins Published: 2020 Numbered and signed edition of 130 copies 160 pages Publisher: Tangerine Press Hardback Price £275 (sold out) To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the passing of Joy Division's Ian Curtis, legendary photographer Kevin Cummins has created — in collaboration with Tangerine Press — a bible-style photobook called Ian Curtis: Memento Mori. Over the past six years, Mr Cummins has been photographing items left on Ian’s ‘grave’, all the while with this most unusual project in the back of his mind. The book contains full colour photos of 65 of these items, along with other photos of Macclesfield Crematorium. There is a frontispiece photo of Ian (the famous one in his coat, smoking) and an essay about loss/permanence by Dr Gail Crowther. There is a final, iconic image of Ian to 'book-end' the run. 130 Numbered/signed copies Bible-style handbound photobook Leatherette covered boards Book dimensions approx. 125mm/5" wide x 185mm/7 1/4" tall Extent: 160 pages Front cover and spine embossed in gold by hand on Tangerine's own 1960s Marshall Embosser Fabriano Tiziano vibrant red endpapers Indigo printed on acid-free Mohawk paper 65 full colour plates Book block edges gilded in gold by hand Book wrapped in black tissue guard with sticker/seal Iconic b&w images of Ian Curtis 'book-end' the plates section Signed in black ink by the photographer on the limitation page Numbered by hand Ribbon marker Housed in custom handmade box, embossed in gold on the top lid
