Bierke Verlag, 2016. Hardcover 21 x 28,5 cm 272 pages with around 400 illustrations. Text in both German and English. Only very light wear to cover else clean and fine. First (and only) edition. - "Honey-Suckle Company wanted to start a youth movement. The legendary group was founded in Berlin in 1994 and was moving in the subcultural circles of the post-Wende times, around the nightlife and social groups which they influenced with their projects in the public spaces of Berlin Mitte. In the beginning outside the art world HSC organised happenings and exhibitions in places like Friseur or the Suicide Club, and held gigs with their band Batterie ON/OFF. The legendary galerie berlintokyo (1996-99) at Hackescher Markt became such a self-organised location, on top of which HSC had their studio. In 1998 Klaus Biesenbach und Hans-Ulrich Obrist invited them to be part of the first Berlin Biennale. The name Honey-Suckle was from the start a conceptual element in their approach as a group and referred to one of 38 essences of the honey suckle therapy. Honey-Suckle helps to learn from the past and to invest in the present time while looking ahead. In that way HSC worked like an “avant-garde production team” with fragments from Bauhaus, the Russian avant-garde or spiritual societies like Lebensreform in projects that built upon each other. The individual contributions of members who each specialised in a certain artistic field had to hold a step back in favour of the collective authorship. Exhibitions and site-specific installations followed at PS1 New York (Children of Berlin, 1999), Künstlerhaus Stuttgart (Eswerde, 2003), Cubitt Gallery London (OHN END, 2005) and Kunsthalle Basel (NON EST HIC, 2006). The aesthetic elements and associative installations were further reduced and led to the, so far, last exhibition Materia Prima in 2007 at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, where the group literally dissolved into essences: Each member could only be experienced as a fragrance essence. This book is a retrospective monograph covering, for the first time, the complete artistic and inter-disciplinary oeuvre of Honey-Suckle Company over the last 20 years – with documentations, numerous photos, scenic installations and extensive material from the artists’ archive; accompanied with texts by Abel Auer, Philipp Ekardt, Lina Launhardt, Michael Hiltbrunner, Reimo Herfort/Franz Schütte (Jeans Team), Tim Voss and Lily Wittenburg. The work of Honey-Suckle Company unfolded against the backdrop of an emerging transformation and gentrification of Berlin Mitte, which makes this monograph a rare document of a different time. Text by Abel Auer, Philipp Ekardt, Lina Launhardt, Reimo Herfort/Franz Schütte (Jeans Team), Michael Hiltbrunner, Tim Voss, Lily Wittenburg, Tobias Rapp, Janna Sittnick, Elke aus dem Moore, Adam Szymczyk, und/and Honey-Suckle Company. Design by Hendrik Schwantes.

New York: Hearst Magazines / Harper's Bazaar, 1939. Large magazine format in original wrappers, wrappers edgeworn and wear to spine (see photos) but solid. 148 pages, richly illustrated, and complete issue. In all an attractive copy. A very rare 1939 vintage Harper's Bazaar issue with original cover by Brodovitch. Also many photos by Hoyningen-Huene and others, plus a fine double spread showing Impression of the New York World's Fair by Stuart Davis in color. Alexey Brodovitch (1898–1971) was a pioneer of graphic design who invented a prototype of today's fashion magazines. In the early 1930s, Brodovitch made a revolution in the world of magazines by integrating images with text on the pages of Harper’s Bazaar. Brodovitch can be rightfully considered as the father of advertising and fashion photography and the tutor of photographers Irving Penn and Richard Avedon. A Russian born, Brodovitch joined the first wave of immigrants and started his career as a decorator in Sergey Diaghilev's theater in Paris. His job was not just to create posters and decorations for the Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. He also took photos of artists behind the stage during rehearsals and try-ins. His first success in design was a prize at poster contest for charitable ball party: the young artist from Russia took the Grand Prix hustling away nobody but Pablo Picasso. In 1934, Alexey Brodovitch accepted an offer to take the office of Harper’s Bazaar art director in New York and stayed there for several decades – till 1958. In America, he introduced a brand new minimalist style emerged in Europe in 1920s under the influence of avant-garde movements and art deco style in industrial design. Upon Brodovitch initiative, Harper’s Bazaar collaborated with his friends Salvador Dali, Marc Chagall, Raoul Dufy, Joan Miró, Jean Cocteau, the master of posters and type designer Adolf Kassandr, photographer Man Ray, and many others. Besides, Brodovitch founded a network of Design Laboratories which offer a truly invaluable apprenticeship for design people, the alma mater for many American designers and photographers.

New York Geneva Stockholm: United Nations Conservation Foundation, 1972 for United Nations Conference on the Human Environment Stockholm, Sweden. Small sqaurish 8vo. Five booklets in original slipcase. Slipcase edgeworn, rubbed at corners but complete and is not damaged, no loss and is also clean. The folders all excellent, sharp and clean and beautiful. More photos available upon request. Stockholm, 1972. Five years after the Summer of Love, four after the Paris riots; the Cold War is in full swing. The Club of Rome has just projected a future in which the demands of a growing human population outstrip the Earth's capacity to provide. The blue whale, the biggest animal that ever lived, has been hunted almost to extinction. Atom bomb tests continue to garnish the world in strontium-90; and from Japan to Europe to North America, man-made poisons are affecting plants, animals and people. Economically, the world has never had it so good. But governments are beginning to realise that nature is paying a price. On 5 June 1972, in the Swedish capital, they began to build their response, in the form of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment - the first UN summit on the environment, and the event that really put the issue on the global political agenda. (...) no country in the world had a ministry of the environment before Stockholm, as the first the Norwegian delegation raced back to Oslo and established a ministry. Stockholm started something; it put the environment on the political agenda." Internationally, that agenda would lead in 1987 to the Brundtland Commission and its famous definition of a sustainable society as one that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". It would lead to the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992, which gave birth to UN conventions on climate change, biodiversity and desertification, and the Agenda 21 "roadmap" to sustainable development. This is the original UN publication from 1972 complete with 5 pamphlets (in portfolio) illus. 16 x 21 cm. [1] Resources: used and abused / John Ludwigson. [2] Pollutants: poisons around the world / Jeremy Main. [3] A world of cities / Frederick Gutheim. [4] A watch on the earth / G. M. Woodwell. [5] The art of progress development and the environment / Anthony Wolff. With photographs by Cornell Capa, Rene Burri, Ansel Adams, George Rodger, Bruce Davidson, Henri Cartier-Bresson, NASA, Andre Kertesz, Eugene Smith, Marc Riboud and others.

London:From the Proceedings of the British Academy, Volume XIX, 1933. Tall 8vo with wraps bound in fine private paper covered hardcover with title gilt on red label. Name (Gregersen) to top of titlepage in ink and name of previous owner in ink to inner cover. Inside clean and overall a very good well preserved copy. First edition, rare. - Susan Stebbing (1885–1943), the UK's first female professor of philosophy, was a key figure in the development of analytic philosophy. Stebbing wrote the world's first accessible book on the new polyadic logic and its philosophy. She made major contributions to the philosophy of science, metaphysics, philosophical logic, critical thinking and applied philosophy. Nonetheless she has remained largely neglected by historians of analytic philosophy. "Susan Stebbing was a leading figure in British philosophy between the First and Second World Wars. She made significant contributions to the development of the analytic tradition, both in establishing it institutionally and in showing how its ideas and techniques could be applied in a wide range of domains. Her early work focused on logic and during her lifetime she was celebrated chiefly for A Modern Introduction to Logic (1930), which offered an account of both traditional, Aristotelian logic and the new mathematical logic associated particularly with the work of Russell and Whitehead. She went on to be both an important proponent of what came to be known as the Cambridge School of Analysis and an advocate of the relevance of logic to everyday questions and problems. In her early work on logic and increasingly in her later work on thinking and reasoning, she stressed the ways in which language is used and misused in ordinary communication and argued that philosophers must pay heed to these uses and misuses. Stebbing felt increasingly compelled to engage with practical contemporary issues and to address a wider public audience. Philosophy and the Physicists (1937) and Thinking to Some Purpose (1939) offer, respectively, critiques of the language used in popular science communication and in everyday genres such as political speeches, advertisements, and newspaper editorials. Towards the end of her life, her interests in logic and language became increasingly socially directed and politically engaged. Stebbing’s work foreshadowed a number of important subsequent developments both in philosophy itself and in linguistics." - In the 1930s, Stebbing wrote a series of articles devoted to distinguishing different types of philosophical analysis and their strengths and weaknesses. It is in this context that she considers logical positivism. Stebbing is broadly sympathetic to the then-new philosophical movement, especially given the central role its proponents assign to analysis in philosophical practice. To Stebbing, the logical positivist approach to philosophical analysis seemed similar to that inspired by Moore, yet potentially different in important ways, especially in how they understand ‘analysis’ and ‘facts’. Her 1933 British Academy lecture, “Logical Positivism and Analysis” here offered in a rare original print is concerned, then, with understanding Wittgenstein’s conception of analysis “in relation to the philosophical practice of Moore”. (Paul L. Franco).

"An anthology of texts and works exploring the relationship of the artist to the museum, from Marcel Duchamp's seminal 'Boite-en-Valise' and Claes Oldenburg's 'Mouse Museum' to the critical work of Hans Haacke and Daniel Buren. Harald Szeemann's proposal for the 'Museum of Obsessions' at a future Documenta is here reproduced in English for the first time. With texts / works by Jean-Christophe Ammann, Michael Asher, AA Bronson, Marcel Broodthaers, Benjamin Buchloh, Daniel Buren, Marcel Duchamp, Robert Filliou, Vera Frenkel, General Idea, Walter Grasskamp, Hans Haacke, Wulf Herzogenrath, Image Bank, Donald Judd, On Kawara, Gary Neill Kennedy, Joseph Kosuth, Les Levine, Glenn Lewis, George Maciunas, Piero Manzoni, Claes Oldenburg, Museum of Conceptual Art, N.E. Thing Company Limited, Garry Schum, Harald Szeemann." . Covers by Daniel Buren, and complete with original pink insert by James Lee Byars. "Museums by Artists was organized by Art Metropole, a business specializing “in materials, related to avant-garde practice” and a member of ANNPAC [Association of National Non-profit Artists Centres]. Art Metropole has also published a book of the same name to accompany the exhibition, the third in a series—Video by Artists and Performance by Artists having preceded it. The ideal of artists’ self-representation as expressed in the title poses a problem here. This self-representation has become instead a principle of accommodation to the museum. Everything about “museums” by artists has been included in this exhibition without an overview or critical principle of organization. That critical principle is what we expect when the most constructive work of the recent past has been critical of the museum. In this exhibition that critique is just one point of view among others. When all these different “museums” are brought together in the museum, does this mean that the museum critique has lost its power, or has it been subverted? Or did this work always accommodate itself to the museum in a dialogue that produced a formal tautology? Or is another strategy operating in Museums by Artists? In whose interest is this accommodation to and so-called “inhabitation” of a museum? Museum by Artists brings together those artworks relating to the museum: works quoting, mimicking or criticizing its classifying and collecting. By the evidence of the works in this exhibition, their forms, formats or framing devices are threefold, although each overlaps the others. They can quote the procedures of the museum or archive as models for its own processes in the miniaturizing or conceptualizing of a collection, with its basis in Duchamp’s Boite-en-Valise, and including Robert Filliou, Glenn Lewis, Les Levine, On Kawara and the N.E. Thing Co. Some can be a global metaphor for one’s own artistic production, with Claes Oldenburg’s Mouse Museum, being a personal collection of objects “classifying” the larger system of his own work, and General Idea’s “The 1984 Miss General Idea Pavillion” with its “destruction” in 1977 and subsequent archaeological retracing serving as exam-ples. Or they may take actual form within the museum, or its stand-in, the gallery, as museological critique: Marcel Broodthaers, Daniel Buren, Hans Haacke, Joseph Kosuth and Garry Neill Kennedy."
