"The Italian architect and designer Carlo Mollino held photography dear. It was one of his great passions, a favorite means of expression, and an excellent way to enjoy another great passion, women. The photographs gathered here were all set in one of Mollino's private apartments, which he refurbished especially for this purpose. An advocate of retouching, as documented in his treatise "The Message from the Dark Room", Mollino also painted on his photos or negatives. Most of what appears here has been revised; most bodies sculpted and reshaped, and visibly so now that time has altered the color of the prints, revealing his handiwork. This portfolio, spanning from 1956 to 1962, ends just before Mollino's Polaroid work of the sixties. It was made using a Leica and color negative film, and has never been published before".

New York: Zucker Art Books, 2007. First Edition 1/1800. Oblong Folio. Linen Over Boards, Slipcased. Artist's Book. As New./No Jacket - As Issued.. 52pp, 25 color illustrations. Designed by Louise Bourgeois. "When Louise Bourgeois was eight years old in 1919, her family moved to the Parisian suburb of Antony where the Bievre River cut across the garden in a straight line. The river was key to their relocation as it was imperative to the family's business of tapestry restoration for the washing of the tapestries. In 2002, Bourgeois would distill her emotions and memories of the river and the garden in an important unique fabric book entitled "Ode a la Bievre". In the book she reminisces through images and text, "with the soil from that river we planted geraniums, masses of peonies, and beds of asparagus and honeysuckle that smelled so sweet in the rain". Using her own garments as raw material to make sewn fabric collages, she evoked feelings and memories through lines, shapes and colors. Years later, the artist was to go back to the house with her own family only to find the river to no longer exist - "only the trees that my father had planted along its edge remained as a witness". Published in 2007, this edition faithfully reproduces all twenty-five pages of that original fabric work in vivid, beautifully printed color on heavy stock, along with a two page text by Louise Bourgeois. It is bound in a debossed linen over boards, and housed in the publisher's blind-stamped, unprinted cardboard slipcase, as issued.

Artists' Book with Multiple. Fine. np, 17 b&w illustrations.Text in English. This truly unusual James Lee Byars item was produced in an edition of five hundred copies only by the non-profit Arts organization Foundation for Art Resources, Inc. with primary funding from an NEA grant written in such a way that prevented the actual sale of the book itself! This untitled publication was conceived with the artist's collaboration as an expanded version of the 1978 Kunsthalle Bern exhibition catalogue, which was a full documentation of Byars' public performance pieces from 1963 through 1975. Laid in to the book is the artwork/multiple "The Exhibition of Perfect", which disperses in a rather surprising way when perused. Approximately three hundred of these were sent hors commerce to Museums, Art Libraries, Non-Profit Arts organizations and friends and supporters of FAR. It was never made commercially available - one had to receive this as a gift at the time of publication. The remaining copies languished with the publisher, never having been assembled with the artwork or distributed, and have ultimately disappeared.

"Exene Cervenka's provocative collages, which have garnered high praise in recent New York and Los Angeles gallery shows, are accompanied in this volume by a preface from Kristine McKenna. There is, in McKenna's words, "an ineffable melancholy that permeates" Cervenka's art, and a "haunting power to evoke a childhood lost." In the work represented, you will find a "scent of longing and nostalgia... It is invariably tempered with the essential spirit of her art, which is tender and lyrical. In the end, each piece she's made is a valentine to a fragile America that's disappearing before our very eyes, and an homage to the indomitable persistence of beauty".

Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. 192pp, profusely illustrated in color. Designed by Robert Ruehlman, Lorraine Wild, Gerhard Steidl and Marc Joseph. Text in English. "Growing up in Ohio in the 1970s, photographer Marc Joseph was first exposed to art, writing and music in the eccentric smaller book and record shops of downtown Cleveland. Most Saturday afternoons were spent combing through the stacks in anticipation of a major future purchase - like his first, "London Calling" by The Clash - or studying certain talismanic book covers like George OrwellÆs "Animal Farm" or Allen GinsbergÆs "Howl". This was the beginning of JosephÆs permanent fascination with books and records - both as public artworks and as formative private experiences. "New and Used" is a collection of richly detailed color photographs of hardcovers, paperbacks, LPs, CDs and cassettes, either shelved, piled, boxed and stacked in their natural environments - independent book and record shops - or individually silhouetted like artifacts pinned into shadow boxes. Together with editor Damon Krukowski, the artist has assembled a collection of short fiction, prose, poems and personal essays by writers and musicians including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, novelists Jonathan Lethem and Lydia Davis, critic and curator Bob Nickas, poets Eileen Myles and Nick Tosches as well as Stephen Elliott, Shelley Jackson, Aaron Rose, Jeremy Sigler, Stephanie Snyder and Ian Svevonius, all of whom respond to the New and Used of their own experience".

As New/No Jacket - As Issued.. 304pp, profusely illustrated in b&w and color. Text in English and German. With a bibliography, filmography and biography. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. "At the end of the 1950s, photographer Robert Frank decided that he was done with photography and became a filmmaker. Not until the 1970s would he begin to take the occasional still again. To date, Frank has created more than twenty-five films and videos, some of them classics of the New American Cinema. In his films, Frank amalgamated documentary, fiction, and autobiography, cutting across genres, defying each and every law of Hollywood in his relentless search for truth. In a time where the crass commercialism of mainstream film's visual grammar seems to reign supreme, Frank's film and video work appears to be his most radical and visionary legacy. "Frank Films" fills a long overdue gap by providing a comprehensive overview of the artist's cinematic and video work".

Warhola, Julia & Andy Warhol. HOLY CATS BY ANDY WARHOL'S MOTHER. NP (New York). ND (circa 1954): NP (Self Published), First Edition. 8vo. Illustrated Boards. Artists' Book. Near Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. np (44pp), 20 b&w illustrations. "Holy Cats by Andy Warhol's Mother" is a whimsical, mid-fifties collaborative effort privately published by Andy Warhol. This quaint book tells the tale of beloved departed family feline Hester cavorting with the other cats and angels in Heaven. Its charming drawings are in black ink reproduced on various brightly colored and coated papers, with the lettering clearly executed by Julia Warhola. Andy adored his mom's penmanship, and since she did not speak English fluently, he would often write out captions himself for her to then copy in her inimitable style. She contributed in this fashion to many of his books and commercial jobs of the period. While the illustrations bear a marked resemblance to those of Warhol's "25 Cats Named Sam and One Blue Pussy" portfolio of 1954, the content of "Holy Cats by Andy Warhol's Mother" is most frequently attributed solely to Julia Warhola - hence we imagine, the title. A bright, most handsome copy of this uncommon and fragile tome showing just the slightest bit of handling and light soiling to its off-white illustrated boards along with a very faint stain at the heel of the spine. This example bears the discreet stamp of "The Estate of Andy Warhol" in light blue ink along with some minimal pencil annotations at the lower foredge corner of the inside rear board.

SUBWAY: BRUCE DAVIDSON. West Hollywood, CA: St. Ann's Press, 2003. Second, Revised Edition (First Thus). Oblong 4to. Cloth in Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine. 125pp, 96 color illustrations. Designed by Paul McMenamin at SPINE. "From 1980 to 1985, Bruce Davidson explored and shot six hundred miles of New York subway tracks. In his own words, "I wanted to transform this subway from its dark, degrading, and impersonal reality into images that open up our experience again to the color, sensuality, and vitality of the individual souls that ride it each day". Originally published in 1986, this dark, democratic environment provided the setting for the photographer's first extensive series in color. Subway riders are set against a gritty, graffiti-strewn background, displayed in tones Davidson described as "an iridescence like that I had seen in photographs of deep-sea fish." Never before has the subway been portrayed in such detail, revealing the interplay of its inner landscape and outer vistas. The images include lovers, commuters, tourists, families, and the homeless. From weary straphangers to languorous ladies in summer dresses to stalking predators, Davidson's compassionate vision illuminates the stubborn survival of humanity. On the eve of the New York subway's 100th anniversary, St. Ann's Press published a beautiful revised edition of Bruce Davidson's 1986 masterpiece newly supplemented by forty previously unpublished images, a new introduction by Arthur Ollman, and a foreword by graffiti artist Fred Braithwaite (aka Fab Five Freddy)".

Text in English. Designed by Designed by An Art Service. With an exhibition checklist. This is the ultra-slick photographic document of New York based artist Aaron Young's "Arc Light" performance staged as part of the 2008 Gagosian Gallery exhibition "for what you are about to receive", held at Moscow's Red October Chocolate Factory. "Aaron Young's artworks rely on the aftereffects of dynamic, energetic, and sometimes even dangerous performances. He hires participants stereotyped as marginalized rebels, such as skateboarders and motorcycle riders, to perform various stunts in exhibition spaces on specially prepared platforms. In Arc Light, Young takes Robert Rauschenberg's iconoclastic gesture, "Automobile Tire Print (1951)" as his starting point. But in the place of the older artist's single tire track, Young produces an opus of traces of the complex and intricate choreography performed by a team of riders. And thus an unexpected, updated, and expanded interpretation of Jackson Pollock's seminal "action paintings".

This is the elegant hardbound catalogue published in conjunction with the triumphant 1985 Francis Bacon exhibition organized by the Tate Gallery - one of the very few times the venerable British venue had presented a second retrospective to a British artist in their lifetime. Consisting of one hundred and twenty-five paintings executed between 1944 and 1984, it remains one of the most comprehensive surveys of Bacon's work, and the last great museum show before the influential artist's death in 1992. A most handsome copy of the special hors commerce edition bound in gilt-debossed orange linen (issued without dust jacket) for promotional use by the exhibition's corporate underwriter Global Asset Management Limited, this example was BOLDLY INSCRIBED AND SIGNED "To R.B. Kitaj with very best wishes Francis Bacon" by the artist in black ink on the half-title page at the Tate opening. Ronald Brooks Kitaj was the American born, London based artist who shared a thirty year affiliation with Bacon at Marlborough Galley, and as colleagues in the informal, Kitaj-coined "School of London" clan of figurative artists. The association is made all the more poignant as Kitaj's own Tate retrospective a decade later proved to be one of the most critically vilified shows there of all time, irreparably affecting the artist's career. This volume was purchased by us directly from Mr. Kitaj in the month preceding his 2007 passing.

"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.

Photography Monograph. As New./No Jacket - As Issued. np (120pp), 46 color illustrations + covers. Designed by Steidl Design. "Evolving from a series of road trips along the Mississippi River, Alec Soth's "Sleeping by the Mississippi" captures America's iconic yet oft-neglected "third coast". Soth's richly descriptive, large-format color photographs present an eclectic mix of individuals, landscapes, and interiors. Sensuous in detail and raw in subject, "Sleeping by the Mississippi" elicits a consistent mood of loneliness, longing, and reverie. "In the book's 46 ruthlessly edited pictures," writes Anne Wilkes Tucker, "Soth alludes to illness, procreation, race, crime, learning, art, music, death, religion, redemption, politics, and cheap sex". Like Robert Frank's classic "The Americans", it merges a documentary style with a poetic sensibility. The Mississippi is less the subject of the book than its organizing structure. Not bound by a rigid concept or ideology, the series is created out of a quintessentially American spirit of wanderlust".

Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine. 256pp, profusely illustrated in duotone and color. Designed by Kerr / Noble. With a biography, bibliography, and exhibition history. "Francesca Woodman created her first photograph at thirteen and took her own life at age twenty-two. She left behind a hauntingly beautiful legacy. Flailing, groveling, jumping, and hiding - often dissolving into a blur before the camera - she used her body as an actor in a mysterious drama. In less than a decade Woodman created a body of work that has secured her position as one of the most original American artists of the 1970s. Woodman has become one of the most talked about, studied and influential photographers of the late twentieth century. She brought an understanding of Baroque painting, Modernist art and contemporary post-minimalist practice to her evocative, sensual self-portraits. This monograph, the most comprehensive to date, features two hundred and fifty images - many of which have never been exhibited or published before - as well as unpublished extracts from her journals selected by her father George Woodman to provide a glimpse into her private world. New research by art historian Chris Townsend examines the influences of gothic literature, surrealism, feminism and post-minimalist art on Woodman's photographs".

After beginning in the early 1980s by documenting the small dorps (or villages) of rural South Africa, by the late 1980s and early 1990s Ballen moved on to photographing their inhabitants: isolated rural whites, scarred by history, in the process of losing the privileges of apartheid which had provided them livelihoods and sustained their identity for a generation.

Designed by Tom Adler. With the 2002 passing of Miki "Da Cat" Dora, the surfing world lost one of its most talented, charismatic, and controversial innovators. A legend of Malibu lore since the late '50s, Dora helped to create and simultaneously revile the "Gidget"/"Beach Party" California surfing explosion of the '60s, then turned his back to the 'Bu and the world of competitive wave riding to travel the world, often just a step or two ahead of law.

"On the night of August 21, 1968 Warsaw Pact tanks invaded the city of Prague, ending the short-lived political liberalization in Czechoslovakia that came to be known as "Prague Spring". Thirty year-old acclaimed theater photographer Josef Koudelka had returned home the day before from photographing gypsies in Romania. In the midst of the turmoil of the Soviet-led invasion, he took a series of photographs which were miraculously smuggled out of the country. A year after they reached New York, Magnum Photos distributed the images credited to "an unknown Czech photographer" to avoid reprisals. The intensity and significance of the images earned the still-anonymous photographer the Robert Capa Award. Sixteen years would pass before Koudelka could safely acknowledge authorship. Forty years after the invasion, this impressive monograph features nearly 250 of these searing images-most of them published here for the first time-personally selected by Koudelka from his extensive archive. Interspersed with the images are press and propaganda quotations from the time, also selected by Koudelka, alongside a text by three Czech historians. Though the images gathered in this remarkable publication document a specific historical event, their transformative quality still resonates".

"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.
