New Cecilia Vicuña special edition

Cecilia Vicuña has collaborated with Book Works Studio to create a new special edition of her book, Saborami: Expanded facsimile edition (Book Works, 2024).

Cecilia Vicuña
Saborami: Expanded facsimile edition (Special Edition, 2025)
Edition of eleven

Cecilia Vicuña created Saborami in the aftermath of the September 1973 military coup in Chile. Combining poetry, journal entries, documentation of artworks including assemblages and paintings, the book was published in Devon, England in an edition of by the artist-led Beau Geste Press. It was one of the first artistic responses to the violence of the fascist junta.

This special expanded facsimile edition of Saborami features a unique small “precario” (her term for her tiny sculptures made from found materials) specially chosen by the artist, fixed to a handmade cover. Each copy is handbound and foil blocked by Book Works Studio, and signed and numbered by the artist in an edition of eleven.
