ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG: THIRTY- FOUR ILLUSTRATIONS FOR DANTE'S INFERNO Robert Rauschenberg created a series of haunting watercolor illustrations from 1950-60, each depicting the various regions of hell. MoMA has released a remarkable limited edition of the drawings in a new clothbound volume aptly titled "Robert Rauschenberg: Thirty-Four Illustrations for Dante's Inferno." Limited to 500 copies, each clamshell box includes a trade edition of the Italian poet's book, along with Rauschenberg's poignant drawings, each reproduced at their true size on individual sheets. (MoMA) STUDIO KO Founded by French architects Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty, Studio KO, famous for its Minimalist approach, is behind some of the most dazzling interiors in New York, Paris and London—as well as the new Yves Saint Laurent museum in Marrakech, seen here. In October, Rizzoli will release the first monograph featuring many of Fournier and Marty's built projects, each conjured into existence with a timeless integrity. (Rizzoli) EYE CANDY The season's most coveted accessory is a real page-turner. BY JONATHAN KENDALL MAKING THE FLOATING PIERS Christo and Jeanne-Claude performed a miracle on Italy's Lake Iseo last summer: they allowed 1.2 million people to walk on water via a golden buoyant dock. A new limited edition book, "Making the Floating Piers," gives readers a privileged glimpse into how the couple developed the three-kilometer walkway. The new volume, signed and designed by Christo, includes a 24 x 24 cm swatch of the project's original fabric—a tactile way for reader's to experience the miraculous work.
