(MARKUS, KURT). Markus, Kurt. DREAMING GEORGIA - SIGNED BY KURT MARKUS. Signed by the Photographer. Tokyo: Rockin' On Inc., 1994. First Edition 1/3000. 12mo. Wrappers in Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. As New/As New. np, profusely illustrated in b&w. Text in English and Japanese. Designed by Masashi Nakayama. Published only in Japan, this tiny gem was the result of a collaboration between noted photographer Kurt Markus and model Cynthia Antonio for a German "Elle" magazine fashion shoot meant to invoke the spirit of Alfred Stieglitz' photographs of the young Georgia O'Keeffe. Shot in and around Santa Fe, the model is at ease in her own skin as she is in clothes by Matsuda, Comme Des Garcons, Jil Sander, Prada, and Jean-Paul Gaultier, amongst others. The nudes, landscapes and fashion editorial here are dark and sensual, showing a very different side of the photographer from his well known Cowboy pictorials. A pristine copy of this uncommon item BOLDLY SIGNED by Kurt Markus in black ink on the front free endpaper. Inventory Number: 009304 $ 95.00 order/inquire       (CANNON, T.C.).

Near Fine. np (12pp), 5 tipped-in color and 1 monochrome illustration. Designed by D. Kung. This is a lovely little print prospectus announcing the publication of a portfolio of five color woodcuts by the noted Kiowa painter T.C. Cannon entitled "Portraits of the Brave Heart People". Completed posthumously just after the contemporary Native American artist's death in 1978, it reproduces the works as tipped-in color plates on handmade Japanese papers in a leporello binding. A most handsome copy of this uncommon item showing just a bit of unobtrusive foxing to the extremities. Inventory Number: 020471 $ 75.00 order/inquire
