Gyldendal, 2010. 521 sider. Heftet. Pænt eksemplar. 'Lene Adler Petersen, f.1944, udspringer kunstnerisk af 1960'ernes avantgarde og blev kendt i offentligheden i 1969, som kvinden der gik nøgen gennem Børsen. Sammen med partneren Bjørn Nørgaard udfordrede hun gennem aktioner og film de kunstneriske, politiske og sociale autoriteter og institutioner. Ved rødstrømpebevægelsens frembrud i 1970 fik hendes eksperimentelle og politiske tilgang til kunsten en mere specifik feministisk retning. 'Kvindetegnet' er en samlet præsentation af et hovedværk i kunstneren Lene Adler Petersens produktion og overhovedet i den konceptuelle kunst fra 1970´erne: ´Udklip på papir med kvindetegnet´ fra 1974. Værket legemliggør helt centrale aspekter af Lene Adler Petersens æstetik, der balancerer mellem det ekspressive og det refleksive. Det består af ikke mindre end 484 collager i et format lidt større end A5, hver med et udklip og et kvindetegn, hvis tegning ekspressivt, poetisk og humoristisk føjer sig som en kommentar til udklippet. Som et åbent serielt værk kan Kvindetegnet betragtes som et egenartet udtryk for 1970´ernes konceptuelle kunst og centrale filosofiske overvejelser over tegnet i abstrakt forstand, og afspejler samtidig et direkte men langt fra endimensionelt engagement i tidens feministiske bevægelse. Denne dobbelte forankring gør værket til et komplekst og flertydigt udsagn, der poetisk peger ud over sin historiske kontekst. Værket er ledsaget af en introducerende artikel af museumsinspektør og projektforsker ved Statens Museum for Kunst, Birgitte Anderberg' (forlagets beskrivelse). Danish artist Lene Adler Petersen maybe most famous for her part in "The Female Christ" (1969) with husband Bjorn Noergaard where she walked naked with a cross through the Copenhagen Stock Exchange in order to remind society of Christ's visit to the temple (dealings were suspended for the rest of the day) and "Horse Sacrifice" (1970). 'Kvindetegnet' (?) is a main conceptual art work by Lene Adler Petersen originally from 1974 ('Udklip på papir med kvindetegnet'). The present book collects for the first time the complete illustrations.

London: Fourth Estate, 1999 (US 1998). Thick very heavy hardcover with dustjacket. XX, 745 pp. Only most minimal wear, a fine clean copy that has been taken well care of. First edition. ""Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human" is the culmination of Harold Bloom's life's work in reading, writing about, and teaching Shakespeare. It is his passionate and convincing analysis of the way in which Shakespeare not merely represented human nature as we know it today, but actually created it: before Shakespeare, there was characterization; after Shakespeare, there was character, men and women with highly individual personalities -- Hamlet, Falstaff, Iago, Cleopatra, Macbeth, Rosalind, and Lear, among them. In making his argument, Bloom leads us through a brilliant and comprehensive reading of every one of Shakespeare's plays. According to a "New York Times" report on Shakespeare last year, "more people are watching him, reading him, and studying him than ever before." "Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human" is a landmark contribution, a book that will be celebrated and read for many years to come. It explains why Shakespeare has remained our most popular playwright for more than four hundred years, and in helping us to understand ourselves through literature, it restores the role of critic to one of central importance to our culture."

The MIT Press, 2016. 4to in wraps as issued. 274 pages. Richly illustrated. Text in English. Very good clean copy. The Whole Earth Catalog was started by Stewart Brand following his summer 1968 tour of communes across the Southwest with mathematician Lois Jennings. Their Dodge pickup, laden with samples of goods for sale, became known as the Whole Earth Truck Store, and Brand's first Catalog, its cover adorned with a colour photograph of the Earth seen from space, promised 'Access to Tools' and famously asserted that "We are as gods and might as well get good at it." Rather than selling anything directly, he intended it to function as both countercultural toolkit and as a manifesto for alternative lifestyles. He organised it in several sections, most of them rooted in his road trip, including Understanding Whole Systems, Shelter and Land Use, Nomadics, Communication, and Community, each category providing detailed information on how to obtain a vast array of artifacts and merchandise. Influenced by the ideas of Buckminster Fuller, Marshall McLuhan, and cyberneticists Norbert Weiner and Gregory Bateson, Brand arranged the Catalog according to the principles of systems theory, and while it embodied his vision of small-scale technology as a tool for personal liberation and social change, its contents generally eschewed overt politics in favour of do-it-yourself individualism. Brand began operating as a cultural entrepreneur at the Trips Festival, and his interdisciplinary attempt to connect distinct networks and resources in the Whole Earth Catalog used a similarly holistic approach, epitomised by the geodesic domes designed by Lloyd Kahn and others, a Catalog staple that bridged the gap between science and the counterculture. Computers were not often featured (PCs were still commercially unavailable), but Brand already envisioned them as a potentially revolutionary technology, democratising access to information and communication, and his Whole Earth Catalog, with its densely-packed references and peer-reviewed content, anticipated the hyperlinked World Wide Web that followed two decades later. he Whole Earth Catalog was a cultural touchstone of the 1960s and 1970s. The iconic cover image of the Earth viewed from space made it one of the most recognizable books on bookstore shelves. Between 1968 and 1971, almost two million copies of its various editions were sold, and not just to commune-dwellers and hippies. Millions of mainstream readers turned to the Whole Earth Catalog for practical advice and intellectual stimulation, finding everything from a review of Buckminster Fuller to recommendations for juicers. This book offers selections from eighty texts from the nearly 1,000 items of “suggested reading” in the Last Whole Earth Catalog. After an introduction that provides background information on the catalog and its founder, Stewart Brand (interesting fact: Brand got his organizational skills from a stint in the Army), the book presents the texts arranged in nine sections that echo the sections of the Whole Earth Catalog itself. Enlightening juxtapositions abound. For example, “Understanding Whole Systems” maps the holistic terrain with writings by authors from Aldo Leopold to Herbert Simon; “Land Use” features selections from Thoreau's Walden and a report from the United Nations on new energy sources; “Craft” offers excerpts from The Book of Tea and The Illustrated Hassle-Free Make Your Own Clothes Book; “Community” includes Margaret Mead and James Baldwin's odd-couple collaboration, A Rap on Race. Together, these texts offer a sourcebook for the Whole Earth culture of the 1960s and 1970s in all its infinite variety. [publisher's note].

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."
