tauba auerbach: RGB colorspace atlas
‘RGB colorspace atlas’ by tauba auerbach image via brittany schall
american artist tauba auerbach presents the 8 x 8 x 8-inch hard-back cubes illustrating the color spectrum through digital offset print in a page-by-page medium. a digital offset print on paper with airbrushed cloth cover and book edges create a colorful reference volume of all the colors in existence. the special binding was co-designed by the artist herself in collaboration with daniel e. kelm, and were printed at wide awake garage, an independent bookbinder, with help from leah hughes.
8x8x8 inch cubes
each book demonstrates a different RGB scheme
the pages show a frame out of a color palette
vibrant cubes opened as a book containing every color

Very pretty
Want it!
gorgeous!
Look beautiful. But trying to capture RGB using CMYK? Hmmm. Can’t help thinking somebody should look up the word “gamut”.
Except it was painted by hand not printed via cmyk
ha right you can paint RGB by hand. :/
the outcome is very beautiful but have to admit the process is a bit of a nonsense
how do you paint RGB to paper, since it exists only on a monitor screen?
yerh………………..i don’t know what ur goin g on about but i do know that the expplist hiposthersis is otsandingly duihigishiting and would be a master picec if they had put the ny3z filter back on !
Looks like a ‘printers’ nightmare to me, but very beautiful all the same. I’d have to see it in the flesh before passing judgement on this 800x600px ish image on screen.
Beautiful. I look forward to the four-dimensional CMYK hardback 😉
whats the point of this book? we can simulate the same colours on our computers using less resources and find colours more efficiently.
Ash, you just demonstrated with your comment you have no idea about the project at all. Good work!
Can I buy one?
Howsome
beautiful! Wondering how to catch RGB colors in cmyk digital printing…
I love it, it is better than the sum of its parts. I want one.
Beautiful work of art 🙂
But nothing related to RGB, CMYK or Color Management, just a beautiful colored book.
Actually, it’s an Atlas of the CMYK of the colors that printer can print.
I want one!!!
Gorgeous! Love it! Oh yeah, sure, RGB is a light based color gamut and can’t be fully represented in pigments, I suspect Hi Fi printing with extra colors in this project. Beautiful poetry, not a dictionary!
wher is black color?

Does anybody want to buy any drugs? From me?
Offset printing (even 6-color offset “hifi” color) is incapable of reproducing wide gamut RGB color models, let alone “all colors in existence”, which even wide gamut RGB display technology can’t do either. For example, there are people who are tetrachromats with four color receptors, even if you want to narrowly define “color” as what humans see.
A pretty piece of art, despite its flawed premise.
Is there any info anywhere about the actual printing process?
How dare they call it RGB color atlas? I suppose then it’s not simple CMYK, but even with Pantone and stuff they are still far from all colors of RGB.
coolness
All of my want. This and that color capture pen are like a match made in heaven. I seriously want to have both. So anyone know where to get them?
where can i get one ???
Mark Wheadon, that’s like asking what the point of a painting is. It’s a work of art, you buffoon.
How about a rubicks cube edition?
Will there be a Braille edition?
