Lunar Rock edition for Norman Mailer's epic Moonfire
Pankaj | Dec 2 2009

You could lose hours wondering what the experience was like for those who were on board Apollo 11 to explore the mysteries of the moon. However, for all who are fascinated by the giant leap of mankind, the Lunar Rock edition can ease the stress. Priced at $90,500, the Lunar Rock edition of Norman Mailer’s “Of a Fire on the Moon” is set to be unveiled this week, at Art Basel, America’s swankiest trade show for contemporary art. Reissued by Taschen, this special edition comes with a piece of lunar rock and a case designed by Marc Newson. The case has detail cues, ranging from the feet to the struts lifted from the Apollo 11 lunar lander. It’s crafted from a single piece of aluminum, and the surface is an topographical reproduction of a section of the moon’s surface.
