The Port

Published by Walther König/Koenig Books.
Text by René Zechlin.

For over ten years, the visionary Scottish artist Charles Avery has been using drawings and sculptures to create and populate a philosophical allegory called The Islanders. In 2008, Avery published an introduction to this project, and part two is this new artist's book, which reproduces as its centerpiece Avery's huge drawing "View of the Port at Onomatopoeia."
