Collana editoriale della Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche / Antiga Edizioni / International Carlo Scarpa Prize for Gardens 2022. Large 4to in wraps as issued. 220, 33 b/w ill., 151 col. illustrations. Text in English. Very good copy. "The Natur-Park Südgelände, formerly a vast railyard, is the result of many years of abandonment and its later acknowledgement as a shining example of ‘Berlin’s urban nature, a crossroads where the aspirations of the local residents, the contemporary landscape culture and the manifestation of a profound ecological awareness for the city all come together. This large public space has been instrumental in redefining the concept of an inner-city park. Its abandoned railway structures, vast expanses of vegetation, which have for the most part been left to grow wild, and art installations which make a visit to the park even more enjoyable, emphasize the dialogue between signs of human presence and ever-evolving nature. The Natur-Park Südgelände, which is 1.7 kilometres long, is just one in a series of public parks which stretch from north to south of the city, created from a constellation of ‘empty’ spaces which were brought together to form a whole landscape. The park is a ‘piece of urban nature’ and an open laboratory where ecological experiments meet different social needs and new methods for tending and maintaining urban space are put into practice. The history of the Natur-Park Schöneberger Südgelände is inextricably linked with that of the city of Berlin in the years after the war, an isolated, divided city where the railways and industry had ground to a halt, the lines had gradually been decommissioned, the facilities abandoned, allowing nature to claim back the land for itself. Later, plans for future infrastructures led to the proposal to build a new freight station to the south of the city in Südgelände. However, in 1980, there was a change of heart, as an ecological conscience began to emerge and thus the realisation of the importance of this site, both for its naturalistic value and its social potential in the everyday lives of the city’s residents. The area was entrusted entirely to the Berlin Senate and managed, since 1986, by Grün Berlin, signalling the beginning of a great experimental ‘worksite’ and the intervention of ecologists, environmental associations, residents, the landscape planning studios Planland and ÖkoCon and the group of artists Odious, who were working on site. In an immersive condition, surrounded by the invasive presence of nature and the ‘ruins’ of an abandoned landscape, all those involved developed a modus operandi, resulting in the living experience of the Natur-Park Schöneberger Südgelände." - Content: Thilo Folkerts, Berlin, the emergence of an urban nature Natur Park Südgelände Ingo Kowarik, Südgelände, Berlin: transforming a wild urban wasteland to a new kind of nature park, Natur Park Südgelände: project, maintenance, development, Rita Suhrhoff in conversation with Thilo Folkert , Natur Park Südgelände: the role of the art, Klaus Duschat in conversation with Thilo Folkert Chronology of the Natur Park Schöneberger Südgelände 1838-2025: from shunting yard to nature park, Christoph Schmidt, A new city experience: the key role of Natur Park Südgelände for the urban paradigm shift in Berlin, Stefanie Hennecke, Berlin, a brief history of its parks, Almut Jirku, Like pearls on a string: the Berlin open spaces system and the Park am Gleisdreieck, Ingo Kowarik, The Berlin School of Urban Ecology and the emergence of wasteland ecology, Sandra Jasper, Berlin, a ruderal urbanism, Grün Berlin: sustainable routes for developing public space, Norbert Kühn, Urban spontaneous vegetation as a tool for climate adaptation, Heinz W.

John Calder 1993. 8vo in publishers hardcover with gilt title and well preserved dustjacket. XX, 241 pp. Fine clean copy in protected jacket. First UK edition, 1st printing, with introduction by John Calder and Eoin O'Brien. Samuel Beckett’s first novel. Written in English over the summer in Hotel Trianon in Paris in 1932 when Beckett was only 26 and living in Paris, the clearly autobiographical novel was rejected by publishers and shelved by the author. The novel was eventually published in 1992, three years after the author's death. The title parodies Tennyson's "A Dream of Fair Women" and the term "fair to middling," applied to agricultural products. Three fragments from the book were published during Beckett's lifetime: "Text" and "Sedendo et Quiescendo" were actually published before he started working on the book and subsequently became part of it, whilst "Jem Higgins' Love-Letter to the Alba" was published in 1965. Beckett refused to allow the entire novel to be published during his lifetime, on the grounds that it was "immature and unworthy": his biographer Deirdre Bair believes that his reluctance to make it available to the reading public was to avoid offending lifelong friends whom Beckett satirised in the book. The novel is set in the town of Kassel, Germany, where 17-year-old Peggy Sinclair, a cousin of Beckett, lived with her parents. Beckett made several visits in Kassel 1928–32. The main character Belacqua, a writer and teacher, is very similar to Beckett himself, though a character named "Mr. Beckett" also makes an appearance in the book. Belacqua's name is taken from the character created by Dante. Influences on the novel include Geoffrey Chaucer's The Legend of Good Women, Alfred Tennyson's "A Dream of Fair Women" and Henry Williamson's The Dream of Fair Women.

New York: Harry N Abrams Inc., 1996. Large oversized and very heavy hardcover, w jacket. 296 pages, richly illustrated. Text in English. Unobtrusive mark to bottom edge, else fine excellent clean copy. First edition. - "With a career that took him from pre-1914 Berlin to Amsterdam, Paris, and New York, Erwin Blumenfeld (1897-1969) was one of the outstanding figures in the history of twentieth-century photography. From the late 1930s to the 1960s, at such influential magazines as Harpers' Bazaar and Vogue, he transformed fashion into high art, and his pictures were in such demand that by the mid-1950s he had become the most highly paid fashion photographer in the world. He photographed the greatest couture creations of the day - designs by Chanel, Balenciaga, Piguet, Dior, and Charles James. Yet his very success in that glamorous world has until now obscured a far more complex and eclectic talent and personality.In Blumenfeld: Photographs, William A. Ewing explores the life and work of this extraordinary and multitalented man. Blumenfeld took up photography almost by chance in the 1920s, beginning with portraiture and the nude. His highly original and visionary work was a seamless blend of the negative and the positive: taking the picture in the studio and making it in the darkroom. Highly inventive, he developed his own idiosyncratic language, using solarization and negative printing, double and multiple exposures, and a host of hybrid techniques. His interests soon expanded to include architectural subjects, landscapes, and works of art, but photographing "Woman" - or capturing the "eternal feminine," as Blumenfeld described it - would remain his chief obsession throughout his life. This book is the first complete retrospective examination of Blumenfeld's work. It brings together the diverse achievements of this brilliant photographer in more than 235 images in both color and black-and-white, providing a thorough representation of his drawings, collages, and photographs."

Copenhagen: Galerie Mikael Andersen / San Francisco: Seems, 2009. 4to in wraps as issued. (32) pages including covers. Color illustrated throughout. Fine copy. Signed in hand with pencil to colophon page by Eddie Martinez. "Martinez's universe is populated by a colorful cocktail of stylized figures and abstract shapes. Exotic flowers, birds, sports equipment, and figures with exaggerated eyes as well as dots, lines, and patterns are fighting for space on the canvas. The compositions stress the plane and are expressive, playful, and dynamic. Old acquaintances are present. Boxing gloves, the large appealing eyes, and bananas are all part of the fixture in Martinez’s works, but the motives are tested and new variations created. Some places the banana is represented only by its yellow colour, and elsewhere an Amanita is reduced to red-white dot formations.The exhibition consists of both paintings and drawings of which the latter are constituted by a suite of four "dreamers." The painting Opponent of Dreams contrasts with the dreamy figures as the helmet-carrying guy equipped with boxing gloves and with his hands raised in defense takes a stand against the unrealistic dreamers. As suggested, peace and harmony do not stand alone. Several titles equip the works with dark undertones using martial metaphors, such as Up In Arms. This title clashes with the harmless table arrangement, and as the blue bird looks far more scared than prepared to fight the collision appears ironical. Martinez is not weighed down with seriousness; instead his works shine with irony and humour. The content, including the gallery of characters points at inspiration from comics as well as Warhol's pop art, in which the banana among others got the lead role. The boxing glove relates to an immortalized artistic clash in the ‘80s between Warhol and Basquiat dressed in boxing outfits. The legacy of Basquiat and Guston’s expressive figurative painting is also noticeable. Martinez is working diligently with the art historical reservoir which he explores and comments on. Classic genres such as still life and portrait painting are rethought refreshingly, and the expressive and naive brush gives 17th century flower piece a major boost. Eddie Martinez was born in 1977 and lives and works in Brooklyn. He has recently had solo exhibitions in New York, Stockholm and Seoul, but this is his first solo show in Denmark. Here Martinez is also showing a new suite of dry points and lithographs published by Fourth Estate, New York. On the occasion of the exhibition the book News and Updates with a text by Max Henry is published in collaboration with Seems Books, San Francisco."
