Leipzig, Hiersemann, 1908. 66x50. 18 pp. + 25 leaves, each with one tipped-in colour plate, and printed captions. An excellent copy bound in later full cloth. Originally published in four parts, and the printed wrappers of part 4 are bound in. No. 110 of an edition limited to 370 copies. Enay / Azadi 513.

A pioneering work on Oriental carpets, with preface by Arthur von Scala and introduction by Wilhelm von Bode, and designated as a supplement to a three-volume work published in Vienna fifteen years earlier. Bode, who had disliked the mixture of classical and later carpets in the Vienna exhibition in 1891, initiated this undertaking apparently with the intention of stressing their separation. In this monument to Safavid carpets, Sarre grouped them according to design features. He drew on a surprisingly large number of reports by European travelers for his observations on carpet weaving centers and the characteristics of their products, his methodological innovations presenting guidelines for future research.

Debord, Guy-Ernest / Asger Jorn
Antikvariat Antiqua
ansY18864
(Paris), Internationale Situationniste / printed in Copenhagen by Permild & Rosengreen, 1959. 28x21. 64 pp. Original sandpaper covers, a fine copy kept in a protective black cloth / brown board box with printed front title "MÉMOIRS" copied from the book. In accordance with a statement on the title page, Mémoires is produced according to the practice of 'détournement' established by the Lettrist International founded by Debord and adopted by the Situationists. The book is a collage of cut-ups of text and images printed mostly in black and adorned with Jorn's 'portable structures' - vivid colour shapes reminiscent of Jackson Pollock paint drippings. In 2009, the French government stepped in to prevent Yale University from acquiring Debord's personal archives, continuing almost everything he produced from the 1950s as well as his library, typewriter and spectacles. Andrew Gallix commented in an article in The Guardian, that Debord would be spinning in his grave - had he not been cremated following his suicide in 1994 - at the idea of being officially recognized as a national treasure: "In 1959, Debord and the artist Asger Jorn published Mémoires, which was bound in sandpaper so that it would attack any book placed next to it. For years, this lethal dust jacket served as a perfect symbol of Debord's abrasiveness: he was the ultimate outsider whose ideas could never be assimilated by the mainstream."
