New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 2011. Large heavy clothed decorated hardcover with jacket. 12-1/4 inches high by 9-3/4 inches wide. 288 pages, profusely illustrated in color and black & white. Very good copy. First edition. "The artists associated with German Expressionism in the early decades of the twentieth century took up printmaking with a dedication and fervor virtually unparalleled in the history of the genre. The woodcut, with its coarse gouges and jagged lines, is the preeminent Expressionist medium, but the movement also revolutionized etching and lithography, to alternately vibrant and stark effect. This graphic impulse can be traced from the formation of the artist group Die Brücke in 1905 through the war years of the 1910s and into the early 1930s, when individual artists continued to produce compelling work even as the movement was winding down. This volume, published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, showcases the Museum's outstanding holdings of Expressionist prints, enhanced by a selection of drawings, paintings, and sculptures from the collection. Featuring approximately 260 works by some 30 artists, the book presents a diverse array of individuals, including Max Beckmann, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Vasily Kandinsky and Oskar Kokoschka. Essays by Starr Figura, Associate Curator of Prints and Illustrated Books at MoMA, and Peter Jelavich, Professor of History, Johns Hopkins University, discuss the centrality of printmaking in German Expressionism and provide a sociocultural backdrop for the movement.".

Munich: Mahnert-Lueg, 1981. 4°. Publishers photo-illustrated wrappers with elongated French flaps as issued. App. 120 unpaginated pages illustrated throughout with b/w photos by Gelpke. Introduction in German by Allen Porter. A near fine / fine copy with only minimal shelfwear - more photos available upon request. First edition 1st printing of Gelpke's first book, a study of Hamburg sex performers. André Gelpke (b 1947 ) is a German photographer living in Zurich, considered one of the most important photographers of post-war Europe. Gelpke studied photography with Otto Steinert at the Folkswangeschule in Essen. "8...) Andre Gelpke creates in his photographs vibrant, arresting images by offering an abundance of information. Precisely composed and perfectly framed for the composition at hand, his rich black-and - white pictures freeze time into intense images which, because of the absence of time and movement, can seem overwhelming, even alienating. Whether it is capturing a playground frozen into a timeless frieze of human and architectural forms or human subjects who are photographically transformed into virtual specters or automatons (such as the three swimmers presenting themselves for a mist-blurred lens in Kanalschwimmer, 1977 or the handshake and bow captured in Kunstverein Koln, 1979), Gelpke uses the unique technical language of photography to create evocative, emotional reflections of reality. Like all of the generation of contemporary German photographers, Gelpke, born in 1947, grew up in a divided Germany that faced huge challenges of reconstruction after the war. He attended grammar schools in his hometown of Beienrode and in the industrial town of Rheydt, and secondary schools in Rheydt and Krefeld. After various trade jobs and service in the military, and after developing an interest in photography, in 1969 he entered the Folkwangschule, Essen, where Otto Steinert, the instigator of the ''fotoform'' group which practiced a highly abstract form of photography (more generally known as Subjective Photography), taught. It was under Steinert that Gelpke's style was formed, wherein vignettes of the world around him are excised and framed, so to speak. Within this style, Gelpke has produced rich and varied bodies of work. Series shown in exhibitions such as Sea Pieces, Plastic People, Sankt Pauli and published in books such as SexTheater, Fluchtgedanken, and the famous Der Schiefe Turm von Pisa demonstrate Gelpke works in the best documentary tradition, adding a distinctive, intelligent visual rhetoric. In 1975, after working as a photojournalist for about a year, Gelpke was a co-founder of the Visum Photo Agency in Hamburg, now a leading stock photo and photographic agency. Andre Gelpke is a conservative in the pure sense of the word. Photography, however, is an immense store of forgotten and deeply hidden meanings. Because of its development throughout the entire culture, every photograph is full of symbol and meaning, which go unnoticed by most people in daily life. But the photographic work of Andre Gelpke is not merely a store of hidden emotional values; it also offers imaginative potential. This is why he at the same time is very much a progressive. He conserves and reminds us of not only the forgotten or overlooked, but also creates, through his role as ''image designer,'' new worlds, some of them perhaps even utopias. The works in the series Fluchtgedanken, completed in 1983, for example, largely feature people shot, obviously posing, from behind, thus hiding their faces, or from angles where the hair obscures the face. Each image is mysterious, but taken together, the series evokes a palpable sense of otherness, despite the straightforward, recognizable imagery. Gelpke's early photographs are also often uniquely erotic, not in the conventional sense of depicting nudes or other accepted sensual material, but in his humanistic vision, which creates dense and evocative worlds within each of his compositions. Each series, moreover, is built up like a dream, where black and white shades, nuances of color, and intriguing compositional forms merge together and where one image spontaneously evokes another. In this sense, his work practice resembles that of the Old Masters, who were able to reproduce, in an enigmatic way, space, light, and depth in their paintings. Yet Gel - pke's work is unmistakably contemporary and often refers to the modern photographic masters. Gelpke has said about his work: In this visual age, when our consciousness of reality is increasingly permeated by the actualities of television, photography, and advertising, my aim is to present the photographic-bureaucratic fact collector with a selection of my reality clipping form an only apparent ''pseudo - reality'' and thereby to bring about a new questioning of reality. (Contemporary Photographers, St. James Press) At the end of the century, his work became more overtly erotic, and he has experimented with shooting in color, as in the series Fata Morgana. The series Amok and Familientag, while showing many of Gelpke's characteristic composition and framing, have the additional formal attribute of often startling, oversaturated, but still realistic color. For Gelpke, experiences are memories, signs, symbols, levels, and geometric forms. As such, he cannot "do" much with them; they are "nothing." Only after the experiences become solidified in a photographic composition can he begin to change and modify them into a usable code system. He uses codification—spontaneously and impulsively—to make the chaos of the world recognizable, converting chaos through his images into an elementary order. The Spanish photographer and writer Joan Fontcuberta wrote: Andre Gelpke tends to speak of two categories when referring to his work: the monologues (introspection) and the dialogues (relationships with the external). There is no opposition between them—they are complementary because they basically try to exercise two distinct types of vision upon the same reality: sensual vision and intellectual vision. (Contemporary Photographers, St. James Press) " (Johan Swinnen).

Lund / Lunds Konsthall: 1971. (7 x 17 cm). Double both side illustrated flipbook. [150] pp. Text in both Swedish and English. Somewhat worn but complete and solid copy. First and only edition of this rare and beautiful flipbook item by Shinkichi Tajiri, designed by Tajiri with Marianne Nanne-Bråhammar and Anders Österlin og John Melin. Photos by Violet Cornelius and Åke Hedström. Shinkichi Tajiri was born as Shinkichi George Tajiri on 7 December 1923 in Los Angeles. He was a versatile artist. Although he expressed himself in many disciplines, he made his contribution to Cobra as an experimental sculptor. In addition, he was a painter and also made photographs, films and computer drawings. With Tajiri, versatile also means internationally oriented: American because of his birthplace, Japanese because he was born to Japanese parents from an old aristocratic Samurai family, French because his artistic career started in Paris, and Dutch because he moved to the Netherlands in 1956. Innovative artists' book made in conjunction with exhibition at Lunds Konsthall, Malmö, during October, 1971. Functions as flip book, animating photographs of Tajiri blowing up a balloon alongside Swedish text. Reverse direction, contains hundreds of black and white photographs of Tajiri and his artworks alongside English captions.

Osaka: Visual Arts, 1999. Tall 4to in wraps as issued, complete with original obi. 111 pages, illustrated throughout. Captions and intro in both Japanese and English. Excellent clean well preserved copy. FIRST EDITION, 1st pritning. - Born in Osaka, 1971, Arimoto currently lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. Graduated from Visual Arts Osaka in 1994, Arimoto received the 35th Taiyo Award in 1998 with his work Portrait of Tibet . In 2008, he founded the Totem Pole Photo Gallery. Arimoto published Tokyo Circulation with Zen Foto Gallery in 2016 and won the 26th Tadahiko Hayashi Award as well as the Photographic Society of Japan s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017. His other publications include ariphoto selection (No. 1-10, Totem Pole Photo Gallery) and TIBET (Zen Foto Gallery, 2019). Actively presenting his work in and out of Japan, he held a solo show at Le Plac'Art Photo, Paris in 2017 and participated in the group exhibition Am Rand der Gesellschaft. Barlach Springer Arimoto at Museum Bautzen, Germany in 2019. "Arimoto ventured the Tibetan Culture Area that included parts of China, India and Nepal and took these fresh and vibrant works in monochrome as he shared meals and living space with the people he met in Tibet" (---) “In 1994, while still in my early 20’s and fresh out of photo school I went to India to photograph. Six months into my travels the backpack in which I was keeping my exposed film - over 150 rolls - was stolen. This incident ultimately signified a turning point in my understanding about photography which continues to this day. Soon after this I went to Nepal. In Kathmandu, I encountered a Tibetan family who were on a pilgrimage to Dharamsala. My relationship with this family grew as we shared meals and our living space. As the days passed I began to feel a strong desire to see their homeland with my own eyes. Soon after however, my neglected health caught up with me and I was hospitalized with hepatitis. A further examination diagnosed a heart condition and I was forced to return home to Japan. My condition improved after returning to Japan. Once I had recovered I found work as a day laborer to save money for a trip to Tibet. Reading up on the country and studying the language consumed me as the days passed. One year later, in 1996, I set foot in Tibet. I’ll never forget that thrill. Everything that had happened so far - every coincidence, incident, and tribulation, had brought me to this point. Looking back I realize that most of my twenties were spent with Tibet. Having started out as an empty vessel, it was Tibet and my experiences there that made me full.”

New York: Grove Press, Inc., 1968. Paperback with all edges red as issued. 451 (1) pp. Only minor wear to extremities else clean and overall a very good well preserved copy. First edition, first paperback printing (stated) of Warhol's first novel, an experimental collection of four word-for-word transcriptions of tapes recorded by Warhol and Ondine between 1965 and 1967. "A Novel", Warhol's knowing response to James Joyce's Ulysses, follows an uninterrupted twenty-four hours in the life of Ondine, an actor who was famous mostly as a Factory fixture, Warhol film superstar and devoted amphetamine user. Warhol hired four typists (including Maureen Tucker, the drummer for the Velvet Underground and two high school girls) to transcribe audio tapes of conversations between him and Ondine between 1965 and 1967 and the book is a verbatim printing of the typed manuscripts, containing every typo, abbreviation and inconsistency that the typists produced from the twenty-four tapes (each chapter is named for its respective tape and side, from '1/ 1' to '24/ 2'). In his glossary for the 1998 edition of a, A Novel, Victor Bockris cites Billy Name, the book's editor, as the source for the title; "a" refers to both amphetamine use and as an homage to e.e. cummings. a, A Novel was the second of several publishing projects Andy Warhol produced in his lifetime. Warhol wanted to be a writer but much like his film work, spontaneous performances and an explicit lack of editing was used as a device. Warhol wanted to write a "bad" novel, "because doing something the wrong way always opens doors." Four typists were employed to transcribe the Warhol/Ondine tapes. Maureen Tucker, the drummer for the Velvet Underground was an expert typist. However, she refused to transcribe the swear words and left them out. Two high school girls were hired to work on some of the tapes. When one girl's mother heard what they were listening to she threw out the tape, losing several hours of conversation. All four hired typists transcribed the dialogue differently, some identifying the speakers, others not. The editor for a, A Novel, Billy Name, preserved the transcripts as is, with every typo and inconsistent character identification, and even moving from two column pages to single-column based on each typist's style. The final printed version was identical to the typed manuscripts. The book is a roman a clef, meaning that the fictional characters are thinly disguised actual persons. The "cast" is itemized in the glossary written by Victor Bockris in the 1998 paperback edition. A run-down of the major characters in the book are: Ondine is Robert Olivo, a Warhol superstar. Drella is Warhol himself (he was nicknamed by Lou Reed as "Drella" because Reed felt it fit both sides of Warhol's persona, being a combination of Cinderella and Dracula).Steve is Stephen Shore, a photographer who worked with Billy Name. Paul is Paul Morrissey, who had just joined the group and would eventually become the director of Warhol's later films. Lucky L is Paul America, newly popular in the Factory crowd for starring in My Hustler. Gerard Malanga was the star of many Warhol films, and is the only person whose real name is used in the book. Taxine or "Taxi," is Edie Sedgwick, the great female Warhol superstar. A, a novel was the beginning of the end of their relationship. Ingrid is Ingrid Superstar, a Warhol Superstar, who was brought to the Factory to "replace" Edie in late 1965. Rink or "Rink Crawl" is Chuck Wein, responsible for bringing both Edie and Ingrid to the Factory. Irving Du Ball is Lester Persky, a film producer. Moxanne is Genevieve Charbon, a French actress who Edie met in Paris that year. Rotten Rita is Kenneth Rapp, who, with Ondine and Billy Name, made up the "A-heads Trio." Rita was also known as the Mayor, like Ondine was known as the Pope. The Duchess is Brigid Polk, whose real name was Brigid Berlin. She would be Warhol's companion for the rest of his life, although he did not take part in her only conversation in the book. Billy Name is Billy Linich, a photographer who worked closely with Stephen Shore. He was also the designer of the Factory. Do Do or "Do Do Mae Doome," is Dorothy Dean. She worked at The New Yorker in the 60s. The Sugar Plum Fairy is Joe Campbell (actor) who starred in My Hustler and Nude Restaurant. Ron Via is Ronnie Vial, a member of the underground. Oxydol is Olympio Vasconzalez, who starred in Conquest of the Universe with Ondine. Lou is Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground, whose album cover Warhol created.

"Helmut Krone (1925-96) was a leading seditionary in the Creative Revolution (1954-64) that transformed graphic design and advertising, i.e., his campaigns for Volkswagen & Avis ("We try harder").

Relying on primary sources, the book incorporates Krone's portfolios, notes, and manuscripts; the records at Doyle Dane Bernbach; the contemporary trade press; and nearly 150 interviews with colleagues, competitors, and other seditionaries. The book is conceived as the definitive primer, not only on Krone, but on the arrival of modern advertising art direction; the thinking behind it and the questions which Krone asked himself in order to provoke new meanings from design, typography and photography -- methods which continue to stimulate new and relevant solutions today".

Else overall very good. 50 pages including covers. Complete magazine. Rare original super issue of the legendary periodical, which in the first years of publication like no other stood for the influence of the Bauhaus in magazine design. This issue with one the best Arpke covers. - ‘Between 1929 and 1943, an outstanding new lifestyle magazine called Die Neue Linie (“The New Line”) was published by Beyer Press in Leipzig. No other publication in this period was so consistent in bringing avant-garde typographic ideas to a mass audience, as leading graphic designers from the Bauhaus, including László Moholy-Nagy, Umbo and Herbert Bayer, steered the look of the magazine, whose contents combined fashion, literature, graphic design and art. Unembellished fonts, dynamic diagonals and dramatic use of photomontage were key to the journal’s striking appearance. Its authors included Walter Gropius, Aldous Huxley, Gottfried Benn and Thomas Mann; even the advertising pages, designed by Bauhaus veterans Herbert Bayer and Kurt Kranz, were always attractively composed. Despite widespread media conformity during the Nazi era, strangely Die Neue Linie was largely spared the regime’s sanctions." ( Patrick Rossler).

London: Unit Editions, 2014. Heavy 4to in wraps with dustjacket and slipcase as issued. 310 pages. Illustrated richly. Slipcase a bit worn, book jacket sunned, ese very well preserved clean copy. In all a very good copy. First edition. "Supernew Supergraphics reflects the numerous ways in which graphics are invading public spaces and disrupting the sometimes-staid world of public architecture. It’s a compendium of graphic excess on a monumental scale. It features new work from around the globe, and interviews with leading practitioners Felice Varini, Sascha Lobe, Sara De Bondt and Boa Mistura. The book’s design by Spin is a tour de force of graphic expression. The cover pays homage to the originators of Supergraphics in the 1960s – a group of radical architects who broke the unwritten rule that you never paint on architecture. Not only did they apply paint to architecture, but they always made sure the graphics were too big for the surfaces they were applied to. This is echoed in the cover for Supernew Supergraphics." - "Supernew Supergraphics is a collection of the best architectural, environmental and interior graphic design. This all-new book shows how the current generation of designers and architects are blasting typography and graphic forms across walls – even landscapes. It shows how they are distorting space and warping entire buildings with color, typographic messages and abstract shapes."

Zurich: JRP Ringier, 2014.Large oversized and heavy 4to in wraps as issued. Some minor edgewear. 360 pages. Clean and overall a very good copy. First edition. "In designing this year’s annual report for Ringier, New York based concept artist Wade Guyton took a series of photographs to reduce one of his large works to 360 individual component pieces, which he then had bound between two book covers. As simple as that. Leafing through the 2014 Ringier annual report, the reader will be able to contemplate a whole succession of pages, each depicting one section of Guyton’s full-scale work 3031, which is 8.60 meters wide 2.75 meters high. Some of the pages are simply black, while others show traces of ink from the plotter against the original unadorned beige canvas. Large and small. A large whole and its individual small components. Black and white. Guyton’s concept inspires a whole range of possible associations. In this year’s edition, the annual report itself appears as a separate appendix, such as one might find in an art book. Here, too, Guyton creates a contrast between LARGE and small. The figures, the real core of the report, are LARGE, while the accompanying text is small. Colors have been dispensed with completely. Wade Guyton was born in the American Mid West. As a young man he moved to New York, where he took several jobs, including working as a guard at the Dia:Chelsea art center. From the very beginning of his artistic career, Photoshop and inkjet printers were central to the works he produced. Guyton, now 42, first became widely known for the large Xs that he printed onto pages of magazines and catalogs. By 2012, his work had already been recognized with a retrospective exhibition at the Whitney Museum in New York and has also been widely exhibited in Europe."

First edition. - "Published to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the original installation of Étant donnés and to accompany the first major exhibition on the work and its studies, this richly illustrated book presents a wealth of new research and documents that draw upon previously unpublished works of art, photographs, and other materials. Examines the critical and artistic reception of Étant donnés, as evidenced by the subsequent work of Les Levine, Hannah Wilke, Robert Gober, Marcel Dzama, Ray Johnson, and other artists who have engaged with Duchamp's provocative and challenging tableau-construction." Étant donnés was Marcel Duchamp's final work and, per his instructions, installed after his death. The piece was a surprise to the public because it was assumed Duchamp had retired completely from art making after 25 years spent playing competitive chess. A gorgeously produced catalog benefiting from the filter of time through which the meaning, context, and influence of this challenging work of art can be better understood". - A heavy and oversized item that may require additional shipping - please inquire.

Holmes, Primary Information, Felicity Tayler and David Tomas. Essays by V. Bonin, A. Bénichou and M. Froger. his major historical publication reproduces over 250 documents from the 1960s and 70s drawn from 10 archival fonds and includes an introduction, a contextualizing essay and 6 case studies. - In the mid-1960s, Canadian artists suffered from cultural isolation as museums were indifferent to their work and the international art market seemed beyond reach. Artists made up for this state of exclusion by creating alternative spaces in which they could present experimental work and offer services to members of their communities. Documentary Protocols (1967-1975) addresses a historical moment in which the investment of the concept of information by artists converged with the role of administrator they bestowed upon themselves. The historical trajectory of these self-managed organizations can now be observed in their archival fonds, where the results of partially realized utopias exist alongside material evidence of the artists’ labour. Following the decompartmentalization characterizing the period, the editorial structure of this publication provides equal visibility both to the sampling of documents and to the case studies based on the close reading of these items.
