Published in conjunction with a 1995 exhibition at Portikus Frankfurt am Main, this elegant, ambitiously designed, oversized publication is devoted to Andreas Gursky's monumental photograph of architect Jean Dubuisson's quarter-mile long Montparnasse housing block. A single 10 1/4 x 18 3/4" inch color reproduction on heavy stock is laid into a silver folder that bears the names of the more than seven hundred and fifty families inhabiting the massive housing project. This is accompanied by two booklets in wrappers: "Texte" - which contains an essay by Hans Irrek as well as interviews with Dubuisson and three Montparnasse dwellers, and "Images" - which reproduces grainy full page voyeuristic blown-up details of interiors of the individual apartments. These three printed components are housed in a shallow printed cardboard box. The interior contents are all in Fine condition with no notable flaws. The matte black paper covered lower portion of the box shows a few small creases and scuffs. The matte silver box lid has split at the cardboard joints at the upper right and left hand corners, showing some abrading at each of the corners as well as some light overall wear and handling. Due to its silver paper and fragile construction, "Montparnasse" rarely turns up in beautiful condition.

"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".

(NEUTRA, RICHARD). Neutra, Richard. PROMOTIONAL POSTCARD FOR RICHARD NEUTRA'S VDL RESEARCH HOUSE. Los Angeles: Richard Neutra, Architecture Periodical. Very Good -. One 3 1/4 x 5 1/2" cardstock sheet printed offset, recto only, 1 b&w illustration. This postcard was produced by Richard Neutra's office for tours of the famed Viennese architect's own Los Angeles residence - the "VDL Research House" in Silverlake. Neutra, arguably the most important Modernist architect to practice here was a tireless self-promoter, and these cards were used to provide directions when soliciting a client or presenting a public open house. It is in remarkably good condition (especially considering that it more than likely dates to the mid to late 1930's), showing a few brown spots due to moisture on the recto and a small crease to upper right corner. Still in all this a handsome example of an uncommon, ephemeral item that was obtained directly from the Neutra office. Inventory Number: 016774

(PIERCY, CLIVE). Piercy, Clive. CLIVE PIERCY: PRETTY VACANT; THE LOS ANGELES DINGBAT OBSERVED - DELUXE LIMITED SLIPCASED EDITION WITH A PRINT SIGNED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER. Signed by the Photographer, with a B&W Print. San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 2003. First Edition 1/75 Deluxe. Stout Oblong 8vo. Pictorial Boards in Slipcase. Artists' Book. As New./No Jacket - As Issued. np (448pp), profusely illustrated in b&w and color. Designed by Ph.D. In essence a rectangular stucco box, the dingbat apartment building exploded in popularity during Los Angeles' housing boom of the fifties and sixties. Typically, they eschew ornamentation and details on three sides in order to focus the viewer's attention to the facade - often incorporating florid signage, elaborate window treatments, and carports. These now-decaying buildings are mostly ignored and/or reviled by locals, while revered by strangers to the city. Arriving there from the U.K. in 1982, Clive Piercy (a partner in the noted graphic design firm Ph.D), began traversing the city, and taking roll after roll of film of these unique monuments. Inspired by both Oklahoma native Ed Ruscha's "Some Los Angeles Apartments" and the late British architectural critic Rayner Banham's "Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies", Piercy has artfully combined his photo-documentation cum artist's book of these multi-unit dwellings (duly noting their often hilarious names) with a constantly changing, collage-like design ethos to create another great outsider meditation on L.A.'s urban sprawl. From the author's self-published edition of only seventy-five deluxe copies, this features a printed orange silk slipcase containing a BOLDLY SIGNED and numbered book, with a 4 3/4 x 6 3/4 inch signed photographic print by Clive Piercy laid in at the rear. A pristine example. 0-8118-4024-7 Inventory Number: 014308

(POLIDORI, ROBERT). Polidori, Robert, Martin C. Pedersen & Criswell Lappin. ROBERT POLIDORI'S METROPOLIS - SIGNED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER. Signed and Dated by the Photographer. New York: Metropolis Books, 2004. First Edition. Oblong 4to. Cloth in Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine. 144pp, 93 color illustrations. "Not only is he one of the world's preeminent architectural photographers, Robert Polidori is also - as his popular book "Havana" proved - a master of urban portraiture. The Montreal-born photographer has made haunting studies of bombed-out buildings in Beirut, decaying New York tenements, Versailles rooms in dusty disarray, Brasilia's paean to spare '50s modernism, and, most recently, the abandoned, contaminated cities of Chernobyl and Pripyat. Taken together, they add to his ongoing project: the interpretation of the interrupted urban landscape. This new monograph combines the eye of a celebrated photographer with the distinctive voice of an artist and adventurer. Each breathtaking image (meticulously selected by the photographer from his own personal archive) is accompanied by a compelling first person account, based on interviews conducted by Martin C. Pedersen, executive editor of Metropolis magazine. Polidori tells behind-the-scene stories about the making of his photographs, talks about what makes a building photogenic, how he shoots buildings he doesn't like, his favorite architects, and his love of mosques. "Metropolis" is a look at the world's great cities as seen through the eyes of a sharp social observer, and a great photographer". A pristine copy SIGNED AND DATED in the year of publication by Robert Polidori in black ink on the title page.
