10th place |(Tenth Anniversary Edition) Illuminance By Rinko Kawauchi (torch press/Aperture, 2021)

This masterpiece by Rinko Kawauchi has been re-released after 10 years. I was surprised when I started selling it because most people didn't know about it. It made me think that no matter how much of a masterpiece it is, it's meaningless if people can't pick it up. The structure is key, so be sure to read the actual book with your own hands.

This is a collection of works that IACK has distributed up until December 2019, arranged in order of publication year and photographed.I wanted to create a paperback book that could be kept by your bedside or flipped through at random times, and that would retain its character even if it was handled roughly, hence the size and volume.It can also be enjoyed as a guidebook, so I would recommend it to both those who are just starting to get interested in artbooks/photobooks, and existing fans.

That's all.

I am of course pleased to see that there are many collections of works by artists who had exhibitions this year, but I also think that it is typical of IACK that many of the entries, including the first place winner, were collections published several years ago.

In addition, halfIACK's classic titleThis was a collection of works that we proposed as a

Although this collection is not recognized as a classic, it is an excellent work in the context of contemporary collections and is at the core of IACK's activities, so the fact that so many people continue to pick it up is even hopeful.

Since new releases and limited editions are often given priority,It may be difficult to decide when to pick up a classic title, but I personally recommend picking them up at the end of the year or other important times, or adding them all to your bookshelf at once. Please add them to your collection along with the new releases introduced this time.

So, I wish you all a happy new year. I look forward to working with you again next year.
