WILLIAM WEGMAN: VIDEO WORKS 1970-1999
(WEGMAN, WILLIAM). Wegman, William & Kim Levin. New York: ARTPIX, 2006. First Edition. 8vo. DVDs in Pictorial Case. Artist's Video. Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. This is a commercially released two disc DVD compilation of over one hundred and fifty videos made by artist William Wegman between 1970 and 1999. "From the earliest black and white reel-to-reel tapes to the most recent digital color videos, these works were re-mastered and assembled by the artist exclusively for this collection in 2006. It is an exhaustive archive of the innovative, influential, and often hilarious performances of the artist both with and without his Weimaraner friend, Man Ray. Inspired by the oblique humor of the 1950s radio program Bob and Ray as much as by the atmosphere of experimentation in the art of the 1960s, Wegman created a crossover form of visual art that had almost no precedent and that received favorable critical notice from a wide audience of art lovers. Wegman and ARTPIX have re-introduced some of his earliest clips that have not previously been available on disc, as well as produced definitive versions of other segments through restoration of the original tapes. Included are Spit Sandwich (1970), Reels 1-7 (1970-77), Gray Hairs (1976) and Reels 8 and 9 (1997-99) for a total running time of 3 hours and 56 minutes. Memorable sequences included are "Dog Duet", "Milk/Floor", "Massage Chair" and "Stomach Song." Included with the discs is a reprint of Kim Levin's essay from 1982 for an exhibition at the Walker Art Center titled "Wegman's Video: Funny Instead of Formal" along with a definitive chronology of the complete videos". A brand new, pristine unplayed example in the publisher's printed jacket with booklet, as issued. Inventory Number: 025409

ART BY TELEPHONE: AN EXHIBITION ORGANIZED BY THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART UNDER THE SPONSORSHIP OF THE AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY OF CHICAGO - THE ORIGINAL 33 1/3 RPM LONG PLAYING RECORD ALBUM
Van Der Marck, Jan. Chicago, IL: Museum of Contemporary Art, 1969. First Edition. Large Square 4to. 12" Vinyl LP in Jacket. Exhibition Catalog. Near Fine. (But Incomplete)/No Jacket. One 12", two-sided vinyl 33 1/3 rpm long playing phonograph record in an unprinted cardstock sleeve, no illustrations. "Shortly after its opening, the Museum of Contemporary Art planned an exhibition to record the trend, incipient then and pervasive today, toward conceptualization of art. This exhibition, scheduled for the spring of 1968 and abandoned because of technical difficulties, consisted of works in different media, conceived by artists in this country and Europe and executed in Chicago on their behalf. The telephone was designated the most fitting means of communication in relaying instructions to those entrusted with fabrication of the artists' projects or enactment of their ideas. To heighten the challenge of a wholly verbal exchange, drawings, blueprints or written descriptions were avoided". Taken from the album jacket, this was curator Jan van der Marck's summation of the infamous Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago "Art by Telephone" show. This is a copy of the 1969 record which reproduces the phone calls of participating artists Siah Armajani, Richard Artschwager, John Baldessari, Iain Baxter, Mel Bochner, George Brecht, Jack Burnham, James Lee Byars, Robert Cumming, Francoise Dallegret, Jan Dibbets, John Giorno, Robert Grosvenor, Hans Haacke, Richard Hamilton, Dick Higgins, Davi Det Hompson, Robert Huot, Alain Jacquet, Edward Kienholz, Joseph Kosuth, Les Levine, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, Claes Oldenburg, Dennis Oppenheim, Richard Serra, Robert Smithson, Guenther Uecker, Stan Van Der Beek, Bernar Venet, Frank Lincoln Viner, Wolf Vostell, William Wegman, and William T. Wiley giving instructions to the MCA staff on how to execute their various pieces for this exhibition which alas, went unrealized. A most handsome, unplayed example of the LP (cited on page 215 of Guy Schraenen's "Vinyl: Records and Covers by Artists" and page 235 of Giorgio Maffei's "Records by Artists 1958-1990") showing some minor surface abrasions. PLEASE NOTE: This copy is LACKING the publisher's printed album cover, and so we are offering the original vinyl LP and paper inner sleeve in an unprinted black replacement cover. It has been priced accordingly. Inventory Number: 026811
