Ira Cohen – Kathmandu Portfolio (1976)
Ira Cohen produced his Kathmandu Portfolio during a week’s stay in Rotterdam at his friend Gerard Bellaart’s place in 1976. The portfolio of 12 photographs was a joint production of John Chick’s Bardo Matrix imprint from Kathmandu, with whom Cohen and Angus MacLise had teamed up in 1974, and Gerard Bellaart’s Cold Turkey Press from Rotterdam. The jacket was silkscreened black and silver and Ira Cohen’s photos inside were printed offset as 12 separate postcards. 250 copies of the Kathmandu Portfolio were made. Available from Sea Urchin is a very good and complete copy of the portfolio with some wear to the jacket and Bellaart’s ex libris stamped on the inside of the jacket.
