Ware’s publications have been cited as “best books” by Publisher’s Weekly (2012), the New York Times (2012), Time Magazine (2012), and The Times, London (2009). Ware’s awards include the Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize (2013), United States Artists Fellowship (2006), Guardian First Book Award (2001) American Book Award (2000), and multiple Eisner Awards, Harvey Awards, and awards from the National Cartoonist’s Society. Complete with an elaborate packaging design that mimics the building, a pull out drawer for the puzzle, and completely original puzzle piece shapes, made from unique molds designed by Chris Ware himself. The artist’s hand-drawn, complex compositions unfold time through space in surprising arrangements which include pages entirely absent of words, radical shifts in scale, and characters, locations, and events seen from multiple points of view.Ĭhris Ware attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1991-93) and the University of Texas at Austin (BFA, 1991). An original composition expanding on the world of Chris Ware’s bestselling graphic novel Building Stories, this puzzle is a collector’s item. Experimenting with the form of the novel itself, Ware’s Building Stories (which took a decade to complete) is a box set of fourteen printed works in a variety of formats-cloth-bound books, newspapers, pamphlets, and flip books-that can be read in any order.
