As Sweet As It Gets

Saturday, April 5, 2014

As you might have noticed, we do indeed like smaller formats over here, but this new Michaël Borremans book, entitled As sweet as it gets, is indeed as sweet as it gets, as heavy as it gets (6 pounds!), as comprehensive as it gets, as mindblowing as it gets. Here’s a little taste, here’s the [...]
