The amalgam of anonymous and vernacular seaside studies abutting the likes of Don James and Tom Blake's historical views from the shore produced a joyous and sophisticated body of work, which has yet to be reproduced in book form.

(AZUMA, MAKOTO). Thames and Hudson, I00201203, 2020. 9 x 12 in., 240 pages. Hardbound. New/No Jacket - As Issued.

The art of Makoto Azuma uses flowers and plants as its starting point, but juxtaposes their timeless yet transient beauty with an incredibly diverse range of striking settings. In a series of sculptures, installations and interactive events, he delights in blurring the boundaries between nature and artifice.

Azuma founded the floral atelier Jardins des Fleurs in 2002, taking commissions from private clients as well as brands and corporations, both in Japan and all over the world. His parallel career as an artist began in 2005 and involves creating and exhibiting artworks that turn flowers and plants into a medium for self-expression. In 2008, Azuma founded AMKK (Azuma Makoto Kaju Kenkyujo), a group specializing in experimental floral creation, with the aim of seeking new forms of botanical beauty and new ways to exhibit them. His works have travelled the globe, from barren deserts to frozen expanses, from thousands of feet below the sea to the very edge of space. Featuring more than sixty projects captured in breathtaking photography, this beautiful book is the most comprehensive showcase of Azuma’s art ever published. 9780500210291 Inventory Number: I00201203

(CHILDS RESTAURANT). Pruitt & Brown Architects. New York: Pruitt & Brown Architects, 1930. First Editions. Folio. Gilt-Stamped Buckram. Architecture Monographs. Near Fine/No Jackets - As Issued. 36pp + 48pp + 72pp, each profusely illustrated with original 7 ¼ x 9 ½" photographs and contemporary publication clippings. In protective clear acetate dustwrappers. This is a group of three unique, lavishly hand-assembled 14 x 12 ½" project documentation books produced in 1930 by Pruitt & Brown Architects to showcase their design work for recently opened showpieces for the Childs Restaurant chain. Founded in New York in the 1880s, Childs became one of the first national dining chains, with over one hundred venues at its height. The firm's ownership changed hands just as the US slipped into the Great Depression, and Childs optimistically opened a series of elegant Manhattan dining establishments each differentiated by a distinct architectural theme presented as if one were stepping onto a glamorous Hollywood back lot set. These hefty volumes have been produced in the manner of a scrapbook with original sepia-toned silver gelatin photographs by the Peyser & Patzig firm affixed to thick linen-hinged pages throughout liberally supplemented by menus, correspondence, and newspaper, magazine, and press coverage of the projects. The first is devoted to the Childs Restaurant at 425 Lexington Avenue which was a jaw-dropping showpiece of Art Deco elegance. The second covers Childs "Old England" at 9 East 40th Street, which presented a Robin Hood-like décor. The third - and most comprehensive of these books - details William Child's "Old Algiers" at 102nd Street and Broadway, which simulated an exotic night at the Kasbah. The three are bound in differing hues of buckram over boards with still-bright gilt-stamped titles on their front covers and spines. Each is internally in Fine condition, and bears a typed label on the inside front board noting that the volume was issued by the Pruitt & Brown Architects office at 342 Madison Avenue for use at the firm's Charlottesville, VA office. The exteriors show varying degrees of wear, rubbing, and some light discoloration, but are still sound and in no way detract from the remarkable contents. These are stunning, near-unique documents of another time, place, and dining experience that must be seen in hand to be fully appreciated. Inventory Number: 026957

It reproduces vintage images and screen captures of Dora by Joe Quigg, Leroy Grannis, Grant Rohloff, Don James, Pat Darrin, Peter Gowland and many others along with biographical texts by Drew Kampion, Craig Stecyk III & Steve Pezman; transcribed interviews, ramblings, and reprinted writings from "Surfer" magazine (including the full "Million Days to Darkness" from 1989!) in an elegantly produced package that was authorized by Miki's family and estate. A brand new, pristine example still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 1-890481-17-3 Inventory Number: 014863

(FINOCCHIO'S). Finocchio's. San Francisco, CA. ND (Circa Early 1960s): Finocchio's. Edition Not Stated. 4to. Various Printed Materials. Nightclub Souvenirs. Near Fine.. One 7 x 11 ½" heavy textured paper sheet printed offset recto and verso, machine-folded in half vertically to make 4pp, 2 illustrations + three glossy single-weight 10 x 8" photographs. This is a group of four items related to "Fabulous" Finocchio's, the legendary San Francisco bar and club that opened at 506 Broadway in 1929. Owned and run by Joe Finocchio, the cabaret was billed as home to "The World's Most Famous and Talented Female Impersonators", and was a Bay Area gay mainstay that operated for an astonishing seventy years until its closing in 1999. The first item is a jaunty "mailing souvenir" brochure likely from the early sixties with an Art Deco-inspired cover whose interior contains a black and white image of the female impersonators - heavily favoring Joan Crawford and Bette Davis - from the club's then-current review produced by well-known local drag artist Lestra La Monte along with a prosaic if not hyperbolic text. This is accompanied by three 10 x 8" headshot photographs of frequent Finocchio's performer "The Fabulous Lee Leonard" - who can be seen in the brochure's cast photo. A well-preserved and interesting gathering of items from this important and influential early LGBTQ venue. Inventory Number: 026965

How a small photography club gave birth to modernist photography in Brazil

Published in conjunction with the first major museum exhibition of Brazilian modernist photography outside of Brazil, Fotoclubismo presents the groundbreaking creative achievements of São Paulo’s Foto-Cine Clube Bandeirante, a group of amateur photographers founded in 1939 that is essentially unknown today to European and North American audiences. The vast majority of FCCB members pursued photography outside of their day jobs as lawyers, businessmen, accountants, journalists, engineers, biologists and bankers, but they were nonetheless quite serious about their artistic ambition. Their radical experimentations with process and form and their determination to distill inventive compositions from everyday life contributed to their esteemed reputation within an active international postwar scene—a status that has been all but forgotten.

This richly illustrated publication assembles a robust selection of photographs to introduce the FCCB’s photographic experiments to an international audience. Six chapters highlight individual achievements nestled between thematic groupings that suggest the breadth of the club’s talent. Curator Sarah Meister’s essay situates the FCCB within the broader contemporary art scene in Brazil as well as a dynamic network of photographers around the world, and offers fresh insight into the status of the amateur then and now. This is the first non-Portuguese-language publication to grapple with these photographs that were widely heralded at the time of their creation. 9781633450844 Inventory Number: I00210731

(FRANCO KLEIN, TANIA). King Kong, I00210813. 10 x 10 inches, 40 Pages. Paperback. New/No Jacket - As Issued.

This zine is a collaboration between Yalitza Aparicio and Tania Franco Klein. An attempt is made to conceal our breakout star in plain sight. We sneak into an intimate scene of seductive caramels blended across carpet, wood, leather, and heat that would not dare disguise the piercing ferocity of an ancestry folded over, an ancestry that would have been eradicated had it not been for this very ferocity. A face with centuries of history, how could its majesty end up among television static preaching black and white, and a misplaced token to tame the mane protecting it? Generations of adaptability seem to battle sacred tradition; in Yalitza Aparicio, we see the duality of Mexicans in the United States of America. 27023451 Inventory Number: I00210813
