(BYRNE, DAVID). Byrne, David. Gottingen, GERMANY & New York: Steidl & Pace/MacGill Gallery, 2003. First Edition. Oblong Folio. Die Cut Boards in Slipcase. Artist Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 96pp, 96 color illustrations. Designed by Danielle Spencer and David Byrne. "For more than a year David Byrne has been employing the ubiquitous sales and presentation program Microsoft PowerPoint as an art medium. "E.E.E.I (Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information)" is a book of images and essays, plus a DVD which plays five of his PowerPoint presentations accompanied by his own original music. The book component contains a dozen new exploratory texts and a whole lot of bold, graphic images created with the help of the software program's built-in tools and visuals - not to mention the fun of plastic overlays and nifty foldout pages. And you may ask yourself, what is this about? It is about taking subjective, even emotional, information and presenting it in a familiar audiovisual form - using a medium in a way that is different, and possibly better, than for what was intended. It is about appropriating a contemporary, corporate staple and making something critical, beautiful and humorous with it". A brand new, pristine example in the publisher's printed die cut slipcase (as issued) BOLDLY SIGNED AND DATED "David Byrne 03" WITH A DRAWING of arrows in the year of publication in black ink on the title page. 3-88243-907-6 Inventory Number: 022254

(CANNONE, GARY). Cannone, Gary & Jamillah James. Los Angeles, CA: Campbell Hall Art Gallery, 2019. First Edition. 8vo. Pictorial Wrappers. Artist Monograph. As New.. np, profusely illustrated in color. Designed by Ivan Golinko.

"Albums by Conceptual Artists" originated as a crowd-sourced online project in which Gary Cannone encouraged like-minded artists to infiltrate popular and obscure album covers with content from the history of contemporary art in a communal act of parody. Begun as a Facebook comment thread, a Tumblr site of the project soon followed and grew to over five hundred album cover contributions ranging from transgressive to silly, from informative to obtuse. Cannone sees the series as a form of fan fiction, a positive creative act often using arcane minutiae linking the worlds of art and music done by and for art nerds. The artist’s formative influences include 70s comedy such as Norm Crosby, Wacky Packages, Carol Burnett, Mad Magazine, and the disembodied PA from M*A*S*H (the TV series). He is a 2019 recipient of a California Community Foundation’s Fellowship in Visual Arts grant and his artist’s book, Time Settings for a Microwave Oven with Broken Three, Four, and Nine Buttons was recently acquired by The Getty Museum. His current work explores the phenomenology of furniture in gallery spaces through the lens of a prop comic." A brand new, most handsome example additionally BOLDLY SIGNED by artist Gary Cannone in ink.

PLEASE NOTE: Copies of “Forever Now” will be signed by Gary Cannone at our event on Saturday, August 3rd, and shipped beginning Tuesday, August 6th. Inventory Number: E000GCFN

(CAPA, CORNELL). Whelan, Richard. Introduction by Peter Fetterman. Afterword by Cornell Capa. Santa Monica, CA: Peter Fetterman Gallery, 2002. First Edition 1/50 Deluxe. 4to. Cloth in Slipcase. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 64pp, 27 duotone illustrations. "Cornell Capa the photographer has long been overshadowed by Cornell Capa the founder and director of the International Center of Photography, New York, and by Cornell Capa the brother of Robert Capa. This beautiful clothbound book filled with twenty-seven of his most intelligent, compassionate, formally striking images promises to bring the photographer his due. He once told "Camera" magazine, "Single photographs are not what I do best. My most effective work is groups of photographs which hang together and tell stories." Nevertheless, the pictures included here sum up and transcend those stories. Imbued with the very essence of the specific situations or person that they portray, yet simultaneously resonant with universal human experience, they mark Cornell Capa as what he called a "concerned photographer" - one who is passionately dedicated to doing work that will contribute to the understanding and well-being of humanity". A brand new, pristine example of the deluxe 2002 first printing issued by the Peter Fetterman Gallery limited to fifty copies NUMBERED (38/50) AND SIGNED "Cornell Capa" accompanied by a cloth chemise containing the matted 7 ½ x 5 ¼ silver print entitled "Bolshoi Ballet School" similarly NUMBERED (38/50) AND SIGNED on the verso housed in the publisher's silver gilt-stamped slipcase still in its original shrinkwrap. 0-9712765-0-1 Inventory Number: 025483

(CARPENTER, TIM). Carpenter, Tim. Los Angeles: The Ice Plant, 2017. First Edition 1/30 Deluxe. 4to. Cloth with Pastedown. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. np (144pp), 74 duotone illustrations. "Borrowing its title from the Wallace Stevens poem in which “little existed for him but the few things / for which a fresh name always occurred,” Tim Carpenter’s "Local Objects" is a solid yet remarkably unassuming body of work: a calm, steady rhythm of seventy-four medium format photographs made in the semi-rural American Midwest. While each picture meticulously frames the seemingly random non-activity of a typical ‘street view’ image, Carpenter’s contemplative sequencing allows a surprising harmony of natural and geometric motifs to modulate quietly throughout the book - an interplay of minor chords that draw the viewer into this specific physical place (mostly central Illinois, where he grew up) and the subjective, literary space of the work. Detached from the urgency of current affairs, stripped of all excess, Carpenter’s photographs reflect a poetic attempt to see “the thing in itself,” to make meaning with the barest tools possible". A brand new, pristine example of deluxe The Ice Plant first edition limited to thirty SIGNED copies in a hand-stamped, NUMBERED slipcase accompanied by a SIGNED AND NUMBERED 4 1/4 x 3 3/8" Silver Gelatin print.
