(ROVERSI, PAOLO). Roversi, Paolo. Gottingen, GERMANY & New York: Steidl/Dangin Publishers, 2004. First Edition 1/1000. 4to. Cloth. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. np, 60 color gatefold illustrations. Texts in English. "Paolo Roversi is known internationally for his romantic, intense, and ethereal fashion images and portraits: photographs that quiver on the edge of their own seemingly fragile existence. A typical Roversi picture appears as if captured in the process of becoming - it develops on the page before our very eyes or, depending on perspective, it might simply vanish into the ether. Since 1980 Roversi has worked primarily with 8 x 10 inch Polaroids, and rarely on location. Designed as a series of sixty gatefolds, at first glance the book appears to be a collection of empty pages. The experience of looking is akin to that of peeling away the leaf from a Polaroid - out of the blackness an image is revealed as if by magic. In images that represent nearly two decades of work, "Studio" offers a self-portrait of the artist and a window into the place where he creates his art. These photographs are a mix of both the published and the highly personal, but all have the intimacy engendered by that place where Roversi feels most at home". "Studio" is truly one of the most opulent photographic books of the last decade. A pristine example of the 2004 first Steidl edition of this uncommon gem limited to one thousand NUMBERED (#300/1000) copies in the publisher's unopened shipping carton, as issued. 3-86521-164-X Inventory Number: 024090

(RUSSELL, Mary). Edited by Pierre Passebon. Flammarion, I00032520. 2020. Hardbound. New/No Jacket - As Issued.

Glamorous fashion editor Mary Russell's personal photographs capture the effervescence of the 1960s and 1970s from within the international fashion and art scenes.

As Paris fashion correspondent for Glamour, Vogue, Women's Wear Daily, and the New York Times, and as photo stylist for Helmut Newton, David Bailey, Lord Snowdon, Francesco Scavullo, and Henry Clarke, Mary Russell both captured the mood and became part of the international clique of elite bohemians who ruled the world of art and fashion. Participating in fashion history as it happened, Russell traveled from couture events to glamorous holidays with the people who invented cool modernity, mining the élan of the period and exploding the boundaries between reportage and fashion.

Published here for the first time and accompanied by Russell's personal memoirs, this collection includes intimate portraits of Andy Warhol's visit to Paris with the Factory, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé's circle, Jane Birkin, Peter Beard, Gunter Sachs, and others.

Mary Russell's career in fashion journalism was launched when Diana Vreeland recommended her for a job at Glamour in New York; she eventually opened the magazine's Parisian office. She worked closely with celebrities from film, fashion, music, and dance. Pierre Passebon owns the Galerie du Passage in Paris.

(SHUBUCK, SIMONE). Shubuck, Simone, Janine Foeller, Jim Dempsey & Alex Wagner. New York, NY: Self-published. Printed in Poland by Szaransky, 2018. First Edition. 4to. Debossed Cloth. Artist Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued.


"In the summer of 2017, Simone Shubuck launched WIFEY, a Brooklyn pop up that fused art, food, ceramics, flowers, and bit of retail in an elevated DIY way. During the process, Shubuck realized that so much of what she was doing directly connected to a show she staged as a student at the San Francisco Art Institute in the early 1990s. Wanting to formalize that multi-decade connection, she decided to make a book.


While at the Art institute, Shubuck studied painting, but probably spent more time tagging on the streets in the middle of the night than in her studio. When it came time to produce her student show, she constructed ten very unusual fake cakes festooned with pink ham hocks, a school of fresh sardines, a tent of chicken feet, and live crickets within a hat box within a cake. It was these images that attracted chefs Ignacio Mattos and Natasha Pickowicz of Estela, Flora Bar, and Cafe Altro Paradiso to the project. They became partners and began experimenting with dreamy layers cakes, which were served at WIFEY and were met with great acclaim.


As described by Ella Riley-Adams on Vogue.com: "She had made a paged project before; a short run of 'zines for Natasha Pickowicz’s bake sale benefit at Altro Paradiso. “It had more of a punk vibe,” Shubuck says—150 copies, printed in Chinatown. The new book feels more like a collector’s item: a retrospective of off-kilter cakes, blossoming drawings, and character-filled ceramics that charts Shubuck’s creative course that would make the ideal gift for the cool girl in your life. As Alex Wagner writes, next to a bright yellow page in the book: “Simone’s work - on paper, in clay, in life! - retains a glorious sense of mess and possibility and freedom.”


Includes texts by Janine Foeller, Jim Dempsey, and Alex Wagner.

The result is a portrait not just of a generation of the most wanted and talked-about, but an invitation to be part of the backstage parties and unstaged moments of Testino's life. Sometimes offbeat, but always on the pulse, "Let Me In!", with Testino's eye for a modern kind of elegance liberated from conventional polish, is a new chapter from the photographer who has already made his mark with the books "Any Objections", "Front Row Backstage", "Alive", "Portraits", "Kids", "Diana Princess of Wales", and numerous exhibitions and publications worldwide".

(TOILETPAPER) (CATTELAN, MAURIZIO). Cattelan, Maurizio & Pierpaolo Ferrari, Editors. Bologna, ITALY: Damiani Editore, 2013. First Edition. 4to. Stapled Pictorial Wrappers. Contemporary Art Periodical. As New.. np (40pp), profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Art Direction by Micol Talso. "Toilet Paper" is an artists' magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, born out of a passion or obsession they both cultivate: images. The magazine contains no text - each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists’ mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in June 2010, "Toilet Paper" has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy". A brand new, pristine example of the eighth issue of this fascinating, irregularly issued artist's project. 8-862082-86-X Inventory Number: 025673

Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. 48pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Goto Design. Francesco Vezzoli's art often embodies celebrity, spectacle, and appropriation, and in this brand new publication "Ballets Russes Italian Style", one gets all three in spades. Presented as the centerpiece of the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art's 30th anniversary gala fundraiser in November 2009, Vezzoli's "Speechless" featured Lady Gaga clad in costumes by the artist and Miuccia Prada, a mask designed by Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin, and a hat by Frank Gehry performing at a Damien Hirst butterfly-adorned Steinway grand piano with members of the Bolshoi Ballet. This stylishly produced tome published in conjunction with the just opened "Francesco Vezzoli: Sacrilegio" at New York's Gagosian Gallery shows the preparatory sketches for the piece, photographs of the Lady in the MoCA galleries and onstage, and the resulting Gaga-centric artworks that "borrow" liberally from Rodchenko, DeChirico, and others. If the ultra-baroque meets Russian Constructivism and Metaphysical painting with a dash of "Poker Face" is your thing, then this is the book for you!
