This veritable visual encyclopedia collects 132 images of our most dexterous body part, gathered by Dutch-French artist Serge Onnen from across the annals of art history--from meticulous sixteenth-century renderings (Hendrick Goltzius) to contemporary punk-influenced depictions (Raymond Pettibon), from instructional handshake diagrams to political cartoons. Other contributors include Kinke Kooi, Robert Filliou, William Kentridge, Shakers, Michael Kirkham, Balthus, Daragh Reeves, Mrzyk & Moriceau, Serge Onnen, Marcel van Eden, Andrej Roiter and Olav Westphalen. Drawings on Hands's packaging, with a folded cardboard cover and elastic cord, is as pleasing to the eye as to the hand.
