Created by French poet... Alcanter de Brahm... at the end of the 19th century.... the symbol... Point d'Ironie is a punctuation mark... used at the end of sentences.... to point an ironic passage within a text...
Not only has the symbol appeared in her designs in the form of printed tee/polos... accessories... there is also an atypical periodical... simply....The Point d’Ironie...
The idea for such a publication originated... following a discussion between Agnes b., Christian Boltanksi and Hans Ulrich Obrist in 1997...
Six to eight issues are published every year, each one designed by an artist who makes it his own...
Given free of charge... distributed in a scattered way - 100,000 copies are spread around the world....
Available in museums, galleries, book shops, schools, cinemas, and at Agnes b. stores worldwide...
Honestly... I don't think I have ever come across a copy at any of the Agnes b stores/counters here...
But I did see and fell in luv with this...

At 40% off... It's a... "I am surprised it has not been snapped up"... kind of a steal
