The mind is silly. I passed on this when it was up for preorder at 200 or 250, because I thought where will I have the space to set all these up. I saw them at the Tetrochromatic show and thought good job not buying them you need a dining room table to display them. I still want a set. I should of bought two (as I like to do with art books) back when it was up for preorder. Hoping the stock doesn't run out too soon.

It looks like the posters building this thing up are primarily the ones who have already bought it. So there is that conflict of interest to consider.
Then you need to ask yourself: What am I going to do with this thing post purchase? Probably not set it up and leave it out. Probably going under the bed or in the closet.
So it primarily becomes an investment piece (to me at least) because it spends greater than 99% of its time in storage. I can think of better investments than this. With 1100 of these things in existence it will never be that hard to come across even after it finally sells out at primary. This high supply will keep prices pretty low on a permanent basis, IMO.
Buy it because you think it's awesome and want to support Tauba. Otherwise I would consider passing.

To me it looks like something that belongs in a designerstore, there´s a shop here called Hay, this work would go hand in hand with this type of store.  |

You're not even meant to set it up and leave it out on display: the construction is not intended to support itself for long periods, I understand. |

they certainly look very nice here: thanks! been hoping for a picture of how they're displayed at nymoma. nicely done but would be neat if they had a set the public can touch (opening and closing these books is a lot of the magic for me and others i have shown them to). & sure, these are priced more like design objects than art objects - difficulty in making them favors making more & large edition = more reasonable pricing (at first retail). we'll see how easy/available these are in the future. |

Anyone have these on display? Notice any issues? |

I don't have them out all the time, but I have opened each portfolio on several occasions, and have kept some open for days. They seemed stable, and it never occurred to me that keeping them open would somehow affect their condition. I am aware that opening and closing them will probably do so over time, but nothing last forever.
And for those who think of [2,3] as a design object rather than art, I'd be interested in hearing your explanation of the distinction and your reasons for placing it in the former category rather than the latter.

printed matter notes in the description of [2,3]: "Please be advised that this is a book, and in order for the pop-ups to function properly and retain their shapes, the volumes should not be left open for extended periods of time." at the same time, nymoma is showing 3 of these, open, for 3 months (as far as i know - it could be that they are rotating them through the show, but i doubt it) and i expect showing them flat like this should be fine (versus on the wall, where there would be more stress from the work hanging down). as paper art objects that are handled, there will be some damage with each use, but i think that is built into the work and fine for all except people who want a perfect item for resale (in which case, i would recommend buying a second set - they are too good not to handle at least one set and the second should cover the costs of both with sufficient time).

According to Artruby.com "Tauba Auerbach's latest" If you like this type of op art, check out Johnny Abrahams's works: johnnyabrahams.com/paintings/Actually there are many others who work on the same thing, like Riley, Vasarely and Albers to name a few. |

According to Artruby.com "Tauba Auerbach's latest" If you like this type of op art, check out [some op art paintings]. this work by Tauba is woven (maybe called a painting, but different from paintings of parallel subject matter, complicating the surface with the image via intricate woven patterning). not painted. & not new (from 2011 per her website: taubaauerbach.com/view.php?id=303). |

I love those books. Very jealous of whoever has one in their collection.
