As New./No Jacket - As Issued. One 7 ¾ x 17" cardstock sheet printed color offset recto and verso, neatly folded in thirds to make 7 ¾ x 5 ½". Art Direction and Design by Mark Ryden and Brian Jackson. Produced in conjunction with Mark Ryden's "Blood: Miniature Paintings of Sorrow & Fear", this is a beautifully packaged CD of fourteen compositions that comprised the musical score and audio installation for the 2003 New York gallery exhibition. It contains five color reproductions of paintings from the show (that are the artist's near-perfect distillation of childhood creepiness transformed into adult fine art) that fold out to create a three-paneled shrine. Conceived by erstwhile Wall of Voodoo and Drywall founder Stan Ridgway along with Hecate's Angels' Pietra Wexstun, the performers are Ridgway - 6 and 12 string guitars, harmonica, Prophet 5, samples, Chamberlin; Wexstun - piano, organ, Juno 106, Mellotron, Moog, samples, autoharp, voices; Lazlo Vickers - cello, violin, contrabass; and Alvin Fike - brass, and reeds. Says Ridgway: "When contacted about writing music for Mr. Mark Ryden's "Blood Show ", we were excited and honored to be asked. Having both been admirers of Mark's work for quite some time, fellow composer Pietra Wexstun and I both saw it a lot like scoring a great film, but with one exception. The so called sonic "action" would be an interior one and psychological; a meditative and transcendental approach....and hopefully more like an "aroma" of sound; other than a music that would shout at you to listen to it, or get in the way. Ambient? Yes. We both worked for a musical "soundtrack" that the listener would "feel" more than hear. A functional and utilitarian device that would draw out the essential essence of the work and play low in the background, barely perceived by the viewer in the gallery". A brand new, pristine example of the 2003 first printing of this exotic object - not the later jewel-boxed reissue - still in the original shrinkwrap accompanied by an 8 x 6" glossy promotional postcard featuring a reproduction of Ryden's "The Baptism of Jajo" on the recto.

(SCHOLDER, FRITZ). Scholder, Fritz, et al.. Various (primarily Santa Fe, NM). 1971-1973.: Various Publishers (including Elaine Horwitch Galleries, Marilyn Butler Fine Art, Gallery 10, etc.). Various Editions - Primarily Firsts. 12mo + 8vo + 4to. Wrappers. Artist Monographs. Very Good -. or Better. This is a collection of sixty pieces of printed documentation on the work of the pioneering late Contemporary Native American artist Fritz Scholder. It consists of two paperbound books (the 1972 Smithsonian monograph "Indians" and the 1975 Northland Press survey of Scholder's own photographs, "Indian Kitsch: The Use and Misuse of Indian Images"), fourteen exhibition catalogues issued between 1972 and 1991, fourteen slender print prospectuses (including Tamarind's "Indians Forever" and Mourlot's "Indian in Paris" which include loose miniature reproductions) and gallery exhibition brochures from 1971 and 1987, twenty-three larger folded exhibition announcements from 1976 to 1992, six postcard announcements, and a 1976 issue of 3M's "Where: A Travelaide Publication" for Phoenix that features the painting "Sitting Indian" on the front cover. "Controversial and prolific, Fritz Scholder (1937-2005) embraced paradox. An enrolled member of the Luiseno tribe, he often said he was not Indian. Scholder's works were immediately recognized for their insight and powerful commentary on publicly held stereotypes of Native Americans and propelled Scholder into a position of prominence as an artist. His revolutionary paintings broke away from stereotypical roles and forever changed the concept of "Indian artist". This group of documentary materials gives great insight to Scholder's work and exhibition activities of the seventies and eighties - including a wealth of items from the artist's primary galleries of the period including Elaine Horwitch Galleries, Marilyn Butler Fine Art, Jack O' Grady Galleries, Tally Richards, Gallery 10, Louis Newman, and Gerald Peters. Overall these pieces are in at least Very Good Minus condition, though many of the announcement were mailed and bear the recipients' addresses and postal indicia.
