Rare first 1966 burlap-bound edition of this seminal work by Allan Kaprow documenting the milieu of performance art and happenings in the early-mid 1960s. Published by H. N. Abrams, Assemblage, Environments & Happenings is a legendary photo-artist-book by “one of the grand antiheroes of contemporary art”, produced in way we would never see today. Wrapped in a heavy, debossed and screen-printed raw burlap hardcover, this massive and visually stunning volume features incredible typography, commentary and lay-out by Kaprow himself, accompanying countless photogravures (photos taken by Oldenburg, Robert McElroy, Peter Moore and others) featuring the work of artists (and non-artists) such as Claes Oldenburg, Tetsumi Kudo, Jean Tinguely, Clarence Schmidt, Jean-Jacques Lebel, Wolf Vostell, George Brecht, Kenneth Dewey, Milan Knizak, Jackson Pollock, Robert Whitman, Red Grooms, George Segal, Yayoi Kusama, Jim Dine, Robert Rauschenberg, Allan Kaprow, together with images of works by the Japanese Gutai Group (Murakami Saburo, Shozo Shimamoto, Kazuo Shiraga, Atsuko Tanaka, et al) and many more.

Allan Kaprow, “an artist who coined the term ‘happenings’ in the late 1950s and whose anti-art works contributed to radical changes in the course of late 20th-century art,” was a leading member-with artists George Segal, Jim Dine and Claes Oldenberg-of a group whose performance works were signally influenced by John Cage’s “reliance on chance as an organizing, or disorganizing element in art. Like Cage, Kaprow used a combination of choice and accident as a way of creating nonverbal, quasi-theatrical situations in which performers functioned as kinetic objects, the role of the single artist-genius was de-emphasized, audience members became creative participants and no-clear distinction was made between everyday actions and ritual…” (New York Times).

Charting the three momentous years in which New York became the global capital of art.

The radical cultural transformations that occurred in New York in the three years between January 1962 and December 1964 ramified across the world. In addition to a whole host of creative innovations across disciplines, the period also saw a shift in the center of artistic gravity from Europe to the United States and the rise of a new leadership in the arts—curators, gallerists and other impresarios.

Modeled on the scale and format of Life magazine (one of the most widely read publications of the era), this lavishly illustrated oversized paperback traces a detailed itinerary of artists and curators, experimental exhibitions and museums, as well as historical and political events that transformed society during this explosive moment. From the New Realists exhibition at Sidney Janis Gallery in 1962 to Robert Rauschenberg's unexpected win of the International Grand Prize in Painting at the 1964 Venice Biennale, every groundbreaking event from this incredible three-year period is documented.

Organized chronologically, the book is teeming with images of artworks and archival photographs, and artist interviews conducted by the late great curator Germano Celant.

Artists include: Diane Arbus, Lee Bontecou, Chryssa, Merce Cunningham, Jim Dine, Melvin Edwards, Dan Flavin, Lee Friedlander, Nancy Grossman, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Yayoi Kusama, Norman Lewis, Roy Lichtenstein, Marisol, Agnes Martin, Louise Nevelson, Isamu Noguchi, Claes Oldenburg, Yvonne Rainer, Robert Rauschenberg, Faith Ringgold, Larry Rivers, James Rosenquist, Miriam Schapiro, Carolee Schneemann, George Segal, Jack Smith, Harold Stevenson, Marjorie Strider, Mark di Suvero, Bob Thompson and Andy Warhol.

Conceived by Germano Celant. Edited with text by Sam Sackeroff, Lerman-Neubauer Associate Curator at the Jewish Museum. Preface by Claudia Gould, Helen Goldsmith Menschel Director at the Jewish Museum. Introduction by Michael Rock. Interviews by Germano Celant with Christo and Jim Dine.

The extraordinary, definitive 1960s art exhibition catalogue, in it's 3rd expanded and corrected edition, designed by Wolf Vostell for the Ludwig collection in Cologne in 1969. A work of art itself, "Kunst der sechziger Jahre" perfectly embodies the materiality of the pop-era in book form. Housed in thick blind-stamped clear soft plastic covers bound in a hard acrylic plexiglass spine with stainless steel screws, this remarkable book opens with an introductory text and lexicon in German and English, printed on styrofoam pages and graph stock, with contributions by Gert von der Osten, Peter Ludwig, Horst Keller, and Evelyn Weiss. Featuring 92 artists, all part of the private collection of Peter Ludwig, each artist is presented with a portrait on transparent acetate followed by a selection of glossy offset-printed colour artworks tipped-in (often concertina fold-out!) on thick raw kraft paper pages. This enlarged 3rd edition features over 200 objects in total, a vast expansion on the first editions.

Featuring the greats of European-American Pop, Nouveau Réalisme, Fluxus, Art Informel, Abstraction, Minimalism and more, this mighty tome includes the work of Josef Albers, Carl Andre, Horst Antes, Shusaku Arakawa, Allan D'Arcangelo, Arman, Richard Artschwager, Jo Baer, Larry Bell, Miguel Berrocal, Joseph Beuys, Peter Blake, Gernot Bubenik, Anthony Caro, John Chamberlain, Dan Christensen, Alex Colville, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Ronald Davis, Jim Dine, Jean Dubuffet, Richard Estes, Oyvind Fahlstrom, Dan Flavin, Lucio Fontana, Domenico Gnoli, Bruno Goller, Robert Graham, Nancy Stevenson Graves, Gunter Haese, Richard Hamilton, Hans Hartung, Erwin Heerich, Eva Hesse, David Hockney, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Allen Jones, Donald Judd, Howard Kantovitz, Ellsworth Kelly, Edward Kienholz, R.

1970 catalogue published to accompany the first major survey of Jim Dine at the Whitney Museum of American Art from February 27 to April 19, 1970. Illustrated profusely throughout with the works of Dine, along with many portraits (inc. by Lee Friedlander), essay by John Gordon, autobiographical note by Jim Dine, biography, bibliography, exhibition list, etc.

Jim Dine (b. 1935) is an American artist whose œuvre extends over sixty years. Dine’s work includes painting, drawing, printmaking (in many forms including lithographs, etchings, gravure, intaglio, woodcuts, letterpress and linocuts), sculpture and photography; his early works encompassed assemblage and happenings. Dine has been associated with numerous art movements throughout his career including Neo-Dada (use of collage and found objects), Abstract Expressionism (the gestural nature of his painting), and Pop Art (affixing everyday objects including tools, rope, articles of clothing and even a bathroom sink) to his canvases, yet he has actively avoided such classifications. At the core of his art, regardless of the medium of the specific work, lies an intense process of autobiographical reflection, a relentless exploration and criticism of the self through a number of highly personal motifs which include: the heart, the bathrobe, tools, antique sculpture, and the character of Pinocchio. Dine’s approach is all-encompassing, incorporating his entire lived experience.

Good copy with light cover wear and creasing, including the very common split at the base of the die-cut heart motif (tape repaired from behind).

First English edition of this wonderful hardcover volume of European interiors from the 1960s, edited by L'ŒIL creators Georges and Rosamond Bernier. Profusely illustrated throughout, all the material in this volume was selected from the pages of France's L'ŒIL magazine. "This book leads the reader into some of the most distinguished and original homes of Europe. Here are glimpses into the lives of gifted, glamorous people whose taste sets style around the globe. Whether Lombard palazzo or Paris roof-top, highly diversified interiors are the source of stimulating ideas that can often be translated into American terms."
L'ŒIL (French: The Eye) is a French magazine created by Rosamond Bernier (née Rosenbaum) and her second husband, Georges Bernier, in 1955 to celebrate and reflect contemporary art creation. It was one of the finest documents of interior design, architecture, fine and applied arts and design in the 1950s-1970s, marrying the historical with the modern and profiling many artists and designers in France for the first time.

Includes large chapters on each of the following: the Villar Perosa villa of Signor & Signora Giovanni (Marella) Agnelli; London apartment of Mr & Mrs Stanley Rubin designed by Jon Bannenberg; a Milanese apartment designed by Marcello Pietrantoni & Carla Venosta; architect J. Anthony Cloughley's London apartment, designed with help from Rubin de C. Albrizzi; Karl Lagerfeld's Paris apartment; a one-story modern country house designed by Martine Dufour and Caumont & Collard for Monsieur & Madame Claude Labouret; The Villa Montecchia; decorator Isabelle Hebey's Marais apartment; Palazzo Brandolini in Venice (Renzo Mongiardino); Saint-Tropez apartment designed by Andree Putman; the Parisian apartment of Marc Bohan (of Christian Dior); The house of David Hicks in the South of France; Prince Bao-Long's Isabelle Hebey-designed apartment; Hugh Chisolm's Paris apartment (designed by Charles Sevigny); the Villa Fiorentina at St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, belonging to Lady Kenmare & her son Roderick Cameron; Leonard Goulandris's London apartment designed by Jon Bannenberg; Van Day Truex's Vaucuse home; Philippe Guibourge's Paris apartment; Eugene Berman's Rome apartment; the Villa La Tana; Jacques Chazot's Paris apartment; Jacques & Andree Putman's Saint-Tropez home.

Art & Vinyl is an exhilarating new look into the history of the vinyl record as a medium for modern and contemporary visual art. This beautifully designed and printed publication is the first book to focus in-depth on works of art created specifically for an album, composer or musician.

With reproductions of more than 200 LPs from the mid-20th century to the present, Art & Vinyl traces the trajectory of how the record album has been considered by artists as material for a work of art. The book begins with Pablo Picasso’s 1949 depiction of the dove of peace, printed directly on an audio disc. Significantly, the recording was Paul Robeson’s Chante Pour La Paix (Singing for Peace). Art & Vinyl also includes works by artists as disparate and wide-ranging as Ed Ruscha, Marlene Dumas, Cy Twombly, Yoko Ono, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Barbara Kruger, Robert Rauschenberg, Sol LeWitt, Sophie Calle and Andy Warhol.

Highlights include Gerhard Richter’s extraordinary oil painting made directly on a recording of Glenn Gould’s Bach: The Goldberg Variations (1984), as well as Allan Kaprow’s LP How to Make a Happening (1966). Also featured are albums of original recordings by Joseph Beuys, Yves Klein, Jean Dubuffet, Christian Marclay and Wolfgang Tillmans, among others. Some of the better-known artists’ covers for rock, pop and jazz albums featured here are Jann Haworth and Peter Blake’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band; Jim Dine’s cover for The Best of Cream; Lee Friedlander’s portrait of Miles Davis for In a Silent Way; Warhol’s cover for Sticky Fingers and Robert Frank’s Exile on Main Street; Mapplethorpe’s classic Patti Smith portrait for Horses; Robert Longo’s cover for Glenn Branca’s The Ascension; Fischli/Weiss’s Liliput; and Alec Soth’s cover for Dolorean’s The Unfazed.

Art & Vinyl has been assembled over the course of nearly a decade by curator and collector Antoine de Beaupré, author of Total Records and founder of Librarie Galerie 213 in Paris.

Jim Dine exhibition catalogue for a show that ran February 27 through April 19, 1970 at the Whitney, New York. Heavily illustrated, mostly black and white and some colour, with Dine's works, alongside introductory essay by John Gordon, an artist statement, bio, bibliography, and exhibition history, wrapped in die-cut heart cover.

Jim Dine (born June 16, 1935) is an American pop artist. He is sometimes considered to be a part of the Neo-Dada movement, first earning attention in the art world with his Happenings, alongside peers such as Claes Oldenburg, Allan Kaprow, John Cage, etc. in the late 1950s/early 1960s. In 1962 Dine's work was included, along with Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Robert Dowd, Phillip Hefferton, Joe Goode, Edward Ruscha, and Wayne Thiebaud, in the historically important and ground-breaking New Painting of Common Objects, curated by Walter Hopps at the Norton Simon Museum. This exhibition is historically considered one of the first "Pop Art" exhibitions in America. These painters started a movement, in a time of social unrest, which shocked America and the art world. The Pop Art movement fundamentally altered the nature of modern art.

Condition: Average - Good (common wear and tear to die-cut cover, otherwise good copy throughout) – All care is taken to provide accurate condition details of used books, photos available on request.
