(BEARD, PETER). Beard, Peter & Owen Edwards. Nejma Beard & David Fahey, Editors. Koln, GERMANY: Benedikt Taschen Verlag, 2006. First Edition Thus. Elephant Folio. 3/4 Leather over Boards, Boxed. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 616pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Text in English, German and French. Art Direction and Design by Ruth Ansel. One of the most lavish books published to date on the work of a single photographer, Benedikt Taschen's sumptuous, already out of print 2006 monograph on Peter Beard rivals Helmut Newton's "Sumo" in both scale and grandeur. "Photographer, collector, diarist, and writer of books Peter Beard has fashioned his life into a work of art; the illustrated diaries he kept from a young age evolved into a serious career as an artist and earned him a central position in the international art world. He was painted by Francis Bacon, painted on by Salvador Dali, and made diaries with Andy Warhol; he toured with Truman Capote and the Rolling Stones, created books with Jacqueline Onassis and Mick Jagger - all of whom are brought to life, literally and figuratively, in his work. As a fashion photographer, he took Vogue stars like Veruschka to Africa and brought new ones - most notably Iman - back to the U.S. with him. Spilling out over the pages of this massive tome, Peter Beard's collages are reproduced as a group for the first time at the size they have always meant to be seen, some as foldouts. Hundreds of smaller-scale works and diaries fill the remaining spreads - magnified to show every detail, from Beard's meticulous handwriting and old-master-inspired drawings to stones and bones and bits of animals pasted to the page. All color illustrations are color-separated and reproduced in Pan4C, the finest reproduction technique available today, which provides unequaled intensity and color range". This elephant folio sized book is bound in half leather-over-boards, housed in a clamshell box, and is accompanied by a wooden viewing stand that is reminiscent of an African headrest. Its companion volume: "PB2" contains an image index with captions for all the pictures reproduced in the main book, personal photos and early work of the artist, an interview with the artist by Steven M. L. Aronson, a facsimile reprint of Beard's 1993 handwritten essay from the sold-out first issue of "Blind Spot" magazine, an extensive bibliography, and an exhibition history. A brand new, most handsome example of a Taschen "Sample" copy meant for promotional display at the time of publication that was issued WITHOUT the sheet containing Peter Beard's signature along with the edition's number, and is rubber stamped "Sample" in black ink on the title page. Other than lacking the signature and numbering, it is identical to an editioned copy in every way and is still housed in the publisher's original printed shipping carton, as issued. PLEASE NOTE: This "Sample" copy is NOT SIGNED by Peter Beard! Additional shipping costs are required for this item beyond our standard rates due to its weight and value - we will inform you of the applicable amount at time of purchase. 3-8228-2606-5 Inventory Number: 026339

(CASH FOR YOUR WARHOL). Cash For Your Warhol, dba Geoff Hargadon. NP (Boston, MA): Cash For Your Warhol, 2019. #5/10 Deluxe. Oblong Folio. Silkscreened Plastic Sign. Artist's Multiple. As New. One 12 x 18" corrugated plastic sheet silkscreened with ink, recto only. Originally spawned from the fallout of 2008's Global Economic downturn, "Cash For Your Warhol" is Boston-based Geoff Hargadon's take on art-as-commodity, an ongoing reference to financial crisis and the ubiquitous signage that responds to it. Introduced in 2009, his CFYW signs are screen-printed on corrugated plastic, mirroring the same materials and design principles used by the anonymous forces trying to profit on misfortune in order to acquire your house, car, and diabetic test strips. Hargadon's works bear an ever-evolving variety of wry phrases commingling the realms of art and finance. They are typically posted in the dead of night in the public sphere in proximity to Art exhibitions or Fairs, and gone by the next day: their temporal presence memorialized as hundreds of images posted to social media. A brand new, pristine example of the rare editioned version of ten copies only meant for sale in galleries acquired directly from the artist bearing the text "CASH for your WARHOL / Our prices are insane / (617) 553-****" in blue ink on a white substrate BOLDLY SIGNED, ANNOTATED "CFYW Crazy Eddie", NUMBERED 5/10, AND DATED 2019 in black marker along the bottom edge of the verso, as issued.

He has gone on to publish several high-profile, best-selling books with houses like Taschen, and his work has been featured in countless magazines over the years.

His brand new publication, The New York Years 1971 To 1994 from Timeless Edition in Paris  showcases a side of his work that until now has not been widely publicized. In the late 1970s and early 1980s Eric found himself at the very heart of a cultural eruption in NYC. With his camera ever at the ready he documented the work and private pursuits of cultural movers and shakers from the Rolling Stones to The Dead Boys, Blondie, Warhol, Basquiat, and Haring. Madonna, Kenneth Anger, Grace Jones, Robert Mapplethorpe, David Wojnarowicz, and too many regulars from the Max's Kansas City, Studio 54, and East Village Art Scene demimonde to name feature in this stunning collection of mostly never-before seen photos. From its sleazy underbelly to the highest-brow art galleries, Eric Kroll invites you to bygone Manhattan at the height of its decadence and cultural importance. The New York Years is a unique book, a journey, an experience!

(SMITH, JACK). Jordan, Mary, Director. New York: Arthouse Films, 2007. Edition Not Stated - Presumed First. 8vo. NTSC DVD in Plastic Case. Documentary Film. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 95 minutes + extras, in color. "Perhaps America's most important artist from the last fifty years, Jack Smith is simultaneously hailed as the godfather of performance art, a groundbreaking photographer, and the 'William Blake of film'. His utopian ideals, artistic processes and bejeweled artworks left no generation untouched since, and became essential influences to contemporary art superstars like Andy Warhol, Federico Fellini, and Matthew Barney. In her feature-length film debut, director Mary Jordan combines Smith's rare and unseen films and photographs with rare audio recordings, acting appearances, and other relics squeezed from Smith's vaulted archives. Commentaries from art luminaries, critics and Smith's friends and enemies such as George Kuchar, Ken Jacobs, Tony Conrad, Sylvere Lotringer, Judith Malina, Jonas Mekas, Mario Montez, Ronald Tavel, John Waters, John Zorn, Agosto Machado, Andrew Sarris, Ari Roussimoff, Billy Name, Ela Troyano, Gary Indiana, George Kuchar, Helen Gee, Henry Hills, Maria Montez, Andrew Sarris, Holly Woodlawn, Ira Cohen, Ivan Galietti, Jerry Tartaglia, John Matturri, John Vaccaro, Lawrence Rinder, Mary Woronov, Mike Kelley, Nayland Blake, Nick Zedd, Richard Foreman, Robert Heide, Robert Wilson, Taylor Mead, Tommy Lanigan-Schmidt, Uzi Parnes, and William Niederkorn intercut Smith himself proffering condemnations of capitalism, critics, and institutional-art "gatekeepers". Jordan also delves into Smith's tenuous relationship with Andy Warhol - who adopted Smith's ideas and actors in his own work (including Smith's "Superstars" concept), his vilification of New American cinema pioneer Jonas Mekas, and other previously undocumented biographical topics. From the Whitney to the Louvre, Smith is acknowledged as one of America's most influential artists, yet his legacy remains at the edges of obscurity. Pure in his artistic pursuits, Smith smashed head-on into the politics intersecting creativity, capitalism, and meaning in contemporary art. Since his 1989 death, Smith's work has been rarely publicly displayed. Still his influence pervades contemporary art and pop-culture today. This documentary portrait pays homage to New York's ultimate anti-hero and the original King of the Underground".

(VISIONAIRE). Gan, Stephen, James Kaliardos & Cecilia Dean, Editors. New York: Visionaire Publishing, 1996. First Edition 1/2500. 4to. Loose Plates in a Portfolio. Fashion Quarterly. Very Good -/No Jacket - As Issued. Individual illustrated sheets laid into an embossed gold paper-over-boards portfolio, profusely illustrated in monochrome and duotone. Designed by Gregory Foley and Florentino J. Pamintuan. Published in an edition of two thousand, five hundred copies, this is the seventeenth installment of everyone's favorite long-running luxe fashion quarterly, Visionaire. "For some time we had imagined a gilded issue-heavily embellished, incredibly ornate. "Gold" gave us the perfect opportunity to go for baroque. The cover of the issue was hologrammed, embossed, and foil stamped, all on an already solid-gold background. Up until this point, it was one of the most extravagant and delirious issues we had ever created. There were seven pages of Philip Taaffe's gold stars foil stamped onto vellum, which ran an average of a dollar per page - a slight extravagance considering we had at least another fifty pages to fill. Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin's fashion photographs featured gold-foil stamping on top of four-color prints - crazy in theory but even more so in practice, when sometimes the only foil-stamped element was the stud earring in the model's ear! Cecilia tracked down OrigamiUSA, who folded a gold-paper goldfish for each issue, and Todd Oldham contributed actual gilded-metal halos. Such frivolities came thanks to this issue's sponsor, the Japanese department store Beams".
