Aqui les dejo una explicacion del libro por parte de la revista CLUTTER de UK (en ingles): While other books have taken a more cataloguing approach to showcasing the creations of the toy world, TOYGIANTS has put the art back into art toys. From portraits of effigies of Rambo, Hitler and Andy Warhol to epic 'class of' images grouped by colour and beautiful dioramas that bring together toys that wouldn't normally rub shoulders, Daniel & Geo Fuchs' shots are eye candy of the finest quality.
The project itself took three years to complete and called upon the 10,000-strong collection of Selim Varol - without doubt one of the finest in the world. Combining Daniel and Geo's photographic talents with Selim's envy-inducing vinyl horde was a match made in heaven. And expanding on their 2006 exhibition at the Museum Villa Stuck in Munich, this 216-page tome - featuring no less than five foldout pages - brings their efforts to the masses.
The breadth and depth of vinyl on display is unrivalled. There aren't many places you'll see the full lineage of KAWS. Well almost a full lineage. The pace he's been releasing things at, keeping up is an impossibility. And to be fair with TOYGIANTS, that's not the point. As said before, this not a catalogue. It's a work of art. One that should adorn all our coffee tables. But enough rambling, for once pictures do paint a thousand words. Which from a writer is the highest compliment there is.
