Screem Magazine, Issue #10, January 1999 Review by Shade Rupe
WWW.HRGIGER.COM, at 240 pages, is the largest and most comprehensive  published collection of HR Giger’s works, the essential book for the HR Giger  collector, and an excellent primer for the new fan. Covering Giger’s ascent  from birth to his modern mastery of Surrealist technique, prime examples of  Giger’s additions to the world of Fantastic Art are presented with hundreds  of full-color reproductions, many previously unseen. Featuring a selection of  photographs from his family album, www.HRGiger.com shows the evolution of the  man behind the legend. From his earliest drawings and paintings, including  his entire first portfolio, “A Feast For The Psychiatrist,” and early  experiments in oil, to his more recent works, www.HRGiger.com is an  indispensable and detailed documentation of the artist’s life and career. The  complete painting series for the long out-of-print book, “HR Giger N.Y.  City,” is included as dividers between chapters showcasing his pre-airbrush  work, the mystery shrouding the Giger Bar in Tokyo, his accomplishments as a  furniture designer, selections from his own vast private art collection, his  visionary proposal for the Swiss Transit Tunnel, detailed plans for  monumental projects in progress such as the HR Giger Museum, and the Zodiac  Fountain (both now finished). Giger’s deliberate choice of the unique title  for this book is to further publicize his own official website,  www.HRGiger.com, the home of the HR Giger Museum Membership Club, as well as  the best resource for keeping up to date on the artist’s latest projects,  publications, and limited-edition artworks.
