Printed in luminous quadratone, Works is considered the definitive edition of Baltz's work, a few years before his death; it is also a testament to the importance of the book as a primary medium in Baltz's practice. The edition contains reissues of six of Baltz's most significant books, as well as four then unpublished projects. Each of the books had been crafted in close collaboration with Baltz, who oversaw each stage of production with Gerhard Steidl. From scanning of the vintage prints, to book design, selection of paper and binding materials, pre-press and printing, Baltz shaped the form and aesthetic of these publications.
