Photographer Alec Byrne covered the British rock and roll scene from the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s - the height of rock revolution. Legendary performers such as The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Bob Dylan Led Zeppelin, The Yardbirds, Bob Marley, T. Rex, The Doors, The Faces, The Hollies, and David Bowie passed through Swinging London and provided provocative fodder for the prolific young lensman.

Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. np, 18 b&w illustrations. Text in French and English.

This was traditional amongst the French medical profession, and Calle's father was a physician. Or was he?

These images conclude with the naked, comatose Sophie (who "will be a source of joy to her parents") sprawled in a heap.

(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.

(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.

(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.

The work of art consisted of 7503 16-foot-high vinyl gates with saffron-colored fabric panels on twenty-three miles of the Park's walkways. Seen from the buildings surrounding the Park, The Gates looked like a saffron flowing river, while those walking through them experienced the ambiance of a fluid golden ceiling. Financed entirely by Christo and Jeanne-Claude through their C.V.J. Corporation, The Gates were assembled and installed by thousands of paid workers. Completed on February 12, 2005, The Gates remained in place for sixteen days, after which they were removed and the materials recycled. The work of art was free for all visitors, who continued to use Central Park during the whole process. This historic event provided a memorable and joyous experience for New Yorkers and visitors.

(CLOSE, CHUCK). Close, Chuck. Gottingen, GERMANY: Little Steidl, 2017. First Edition #65/100 Deluxe. 4to. Cloth in a Clamshell Box. Artist Monograph. As New/No Jackets - As Issued. np (18pp) + np (18pp) + 8pp. Two individually bound 110 ½ x 13 ½" nine-sheet leporellos printed by color offset lithography recto only, 18 color illustrations. Designed by Chuck Close and Nina Holland. "The idea of a book without words had resonance for Chuck Close. As a child, his severe dyslexia stood in the way of reading, making images all the more important. He remembers a visual encyclopedia from his early years and the feeling of being overtaken by the intensity of its pictures. The idea also resonated with his ongoing interest in revealing the process of his work, which he accomplishes largely through visual presentation, using very few words, if any. "Scribble Book" is a self-portrait that emerges step-by-step out of the printing process, one plate and one color at a time. The viewer follows a series of nine individual plate proofs - volume one - along with a corresponding series of nine progressive proofs - volume two. By comparing the plate proofs against the progressives, the viewer may ascertain not only the effect as one color is added to another to create the final nine-color portrait, but also the compositional decisions and careful modifications made by the artist at each stage of the project. A similar work was made with twelve plates and included in the exhibition "Chuck Close Prints: Process and Collaboration" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2004 and was an immediate success. "Scribble Book" is presented in this deluxe edition as two accordion-fold books. The first shows the series of plate proofs, and the second the series of progressive proofs, culminating with a nine-color self-portrait. For those seeking a more detailed understanding of the process, these books are accompanied by a separate text in which the artist gives a personal account of his drawing process as recorded through printmaking."
