Curator at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, Francine-Claire Legrand (Brussels, 1916–Saint-Gilles, 1995) was in charge of the modern art department. Published in 1971, her Le symbolisme en Belgique was and remains a pioneering work in which the author traces the history of the multiple trends that were developing in Belgium at that time. She brought them all together under the single concept of symbolism. Studies on Belgian symbolism have long relied on this groundbreaking work. Profusely illustrated in colour and b/w. That same year, the Belgian art historian published her first study on James Ensor, this unknown artist who became her favorite. She made a significant contribution to renewing the way we view the works of the Ostend painter created after 1900.

First hardcover, slipcased edition of this now very rare, beautifully illustrated comprehensive book published on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Edvard Munch (1863-1944) in 2013, for which a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition was organized by the Munch Museum and the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in Oslo.

This major new book is the most comprehensive and ambitious full-scale retrospective of Munch's artistic oeuvre ever presented. It includes an exceptional number of renowned masterpieces as well as many lesser-known works from public and private collections worldwide. With some 350 illustrations, the volume beautifully illustrates the entire development of Munch's art from the 1880s to his death in 1944, including paintings, prints, and drawings. Texts by important scholars cover various aspects of the artist's work: self-presentation and self-portraiture, places and perception, visual rhetoric, The Frieze of Life series as a lifelong project, Munch and public life, narration and abstraction, figure and representation, and the staging of gender. With texts reflecting the most recent Munch scholarship as well as a timeline, a biography, and an index of names and places, this comprehensive book provides a new understanding of Munch's groundbreaking contribution to modernist painting.

Edvard Munch was one of Modernism's most significant artists. His tenacious experimentation within painting, graphic art, drawing, sculpture, photo and film has given him a unique position in Norwegian as well as international art history.

Texts in German on alternating paper stocks throughout the galleries, plus a full catalogue of exhibited works.

Edited with text by Susanne Pfeffer. Text by Valeria Gordeev, Quinn Latimer, Christoph Menke, Cord Riechelmann, Ann-Charlotte Gunzel.

From “knitting pictures” to upside down palm trees and mannequin heads in glass boxes, Trockel’s caustic oeuvre defies classification.

Finally here, the enormous MMK catalogue! German multimedia artist Rosemarie Trockel rose to fame in the 1980s with her “knitting pictures” made with industrial weaving machines. In 1999 she was the first woman to exhibit at the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. The brutality and absurdity of normative regimes emerge openly in the work of Rosemarie Trockel. Definitions, restrictions, paternalism, and violence due to gender become visible and transparent. Her advance is a risky, courageous, combative, and humorous one. In all media—drawing and painting, photography, sculpture, installation, and film—Trockel’s sociological gaze is as much directed at social regimes and political structures as it is at nature. Her observations and studies of processionary caterpillars, starlings, chickens, or lice, while scientifically sound and precise, always include her own critical gaze as a vital component. She appropriates the ambivalences in her work, capturing them decidedly.

The comprehensive exhibition and catalogue displays works from all periods of Rosemarie Trockel’s oeuvre, from the 1970s to the new works created especially for the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt.

First 1970 Arrow paperback edition of this landmark anthology of the experimental British "New Wave" movement, first published in 1969.

"From the world of Science Fiction writing there has come a totally new literature, a Space Age fiction created by writers whom new material demanded new techniques. Now they use the new techniques to explore territory way beyond the original Science Fiction bases.

These are writers who are not just reacting against the current conventions in fiction.
They are positive in their creation of new forms, certain in their aims. And above all they are enthusiastic.

Langdon Jones, editor of NEW WORLDS, has brought together the leaders of this new writing. They include: Brian Aldiss, George MacBeth, J. G. Ballard, Michael Moorcock, Michael Butterworth, Charles Platt, Thomas M. Disch, James Sallis, Giles Gordon, John Sladek, Maxim Jakubowsk, D. M. Thomas, Pamela Zoline"

1965 Penguin edition.

Seldom has a book so completely united the critics as this savage, grotesque, ludicrous vision of a mind on the slipway to madness.

"Strange, savage, subtle, beautifully mysterious... one of the great novels of the [twentieth] century"—Iris Murdoch

"One of the most important neglected novels of our time. It is a strange, eloquent and terrifying book, which tells us as much about the madness of our age as Kafka's The Trial or Musil's Man Without Qualities."—Philip Toynbee

Hardcover 1971 Jonathan Cape printing of Nobel Prize-winning author Elias Canetti's most well-known work, Auto-Da-Fé, first published in Germany in 1935, first translation to English in 1947.

Originally published in German as "Die Blendung" in 1935 and later banned in Nazi Germany, Auto-Da-Fe did not become widely known until the publication of Canetti's "Crowds and Power" in 1960. "In Auto-da-Fé no one is spared. Professor and furniture salesman, doctor, housekeeper, and thief all get it in the neck. The remoreseless quality of the comedy builds one of the most terrifying literary worlds of the century" (Salman Rushdie). "Savage, subtle, beautifully mysterious--one of the few great novels of the century" (Iris Murdoch). "A strange, eloquent and terrifying book" (Philip Toynbee). Auto da Fé is the story of Peter Kien, a distinguished, reclusive Sinologist living in Germany between the wars. With masterly precision, Canetti builds up the elements in Kien himself, and his personal relationships, which will lead to his destruction.

Elias Canetti (1905—1994) was a German-language writer, born in Ruse, Bulgaria to a Sephardic family. They moved to Manchester, England, but his father died in 1912, and his mother took her three sons back to continental Europe. They settled in Vienna. Canetti moved to England in 1938 after the Anschluss to escape Nazi persecution. He became a British citizen in 1952. He is known as a modernist novelist, playwright, memoirist, and nonfiction writer. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1981, "for writings marked by a broad outlook, a wealth of ideas and artistic power". In late 1980s he started to live in Zurich permanently. He died in 1994 in Zurich. He is noted for his nonfiction book Crowds and Power, among other works.

Rare first English–language 1971 edition of Munari's classic Design As Art, first published in Italy in 1966.

'A thing is not beautiful because it is beautiful, as the he-frog said to the she-frog: it is beautiful because one likes it.'

Here, with the lightest Latin touch, a famous Italian designer sketches out the principles and practice of the four branches of design - visual, graphic, industrial and research. The whole world is his oyster (and he will certainly have views on the design of oysters, as he has on the form and function of oranges and peas. Lamps, road-signs, cars, typography, posters, colours, knives, chairs, and Japanese houses are only some of the objects Munari discusses, with the constant insistence that things must be made right for function, right for production, right for distribution, and right for price. Design, in a word, is planning.
Through it the artist today renews genuine contact with the people.

With its irresistible humour, its wealth of anecdotes, quotations and pointed illustrations this treatise by the man who invented 'useless machines' and 'continuous structures' is a perfectly designed model of painless instruction.

One of the last surviving members of the futurist generation, Bruno Munari has been the enfant terrible of Italian art and design for most of the twentieth century.

Bruno Munari was among the most inspirational designers of all time, described by Picasso as 'the new Leonardo'. Munari insisted that design be beautiful, functional and accessible, and this enlightening and highly entertaining book sets out his ideas about visual, graphic and industrial design and the role it plays in the objects we use everyday. Lamps, road signs, typography, posters, children's books, advertising, cars and chairs - these are just some of the subjects to which he turns his illuminating gaze.

Cover design by Bruno Munari, heavily illustrated throughout by Munari.

The Golem & The Man Who Was Born Again (Two German Supernatural Novels)

"He is fumbling his way now along the wall; at this moment he must be laboriously spelling out the letters of my name in the darkness, on my door.... The door opens, and he comes in. with the gait of a man for ever in fear of falling • unfamiliar face clean shaven, with prominent cheek bones, eyes slanting Terror takes me by the throat..:"

This is the first meeting of Athanasius Pernath, gem-cutter with a shadow in his past, with the Golem, the strange supernatural force reputed to haunt the ancient Ghetto of Prague. From this meeting grows an incredible web of experiences within the twisted, crumbling walls and dark passages of the Ghetto. Strange mystical visions, wonderful transformations, lurking terrors and perplexing revelations come into being around the twin personalities of Pernath and the Golem, against a background of hatred and frustrated love, malice and cabalistic saintliness.

The Golem, the most famous supernatural novel in modern European literature, is the only major work in translation of the great satirist and supernaturalist Gustav Meyrink (1868-1932). Besides being a masterpiece of fantastic fiction, it also has the distinction of being the first important expressionist novel, a work of international stature.

The Man Who Was Born Again by Paul Busson (1873-1924), Tyrolean and Viennese journalist and author, is also well-known as perhaps the finest adventure fantasy in early twentieth-century German literature. The story of reincarnated memories ineighteenth-century Germany and France, it offers a fine integration of supernatural powers, ghosts, witchcraft, black magic, demons, and evocation of the dead; it is unique in its combination of wild imagination and realism.

The translations are based on those of Madge Pemberton for Meyrink, and Prince Alexander Mirski and Thomas Moult for Busson. In both cases, however, extensive corrections have been made and much material restored (in new translation) that had previously been omitted. As a result the versions in the present volume constitute the first full English translations of these two important novels.

Introduction by E. F. Bleiler.
Illustrated throughout with plates by Alfred Kubin and Hugo Steiner-Prag.

"The novel has the classic Meyrink features - the mystical wedding, the galaxy of grotesque characters and the haunting atmosphere of the ghetto. Mike Mitchell's superb translation of The Green Face will help establish Gustav Meyrink's reputation as one of this century's most important authors of fantastic fiction."—book jacket

"Meyrink's The Green Face is second in visionary power only to The Golem... By creating an all-pervading atmosphere of kafkaesque mystery and uncertainty, Meyrink succeeds in suggesting inexhaustible depths and heights of meaning."—Franz Rottensteiner

Japanese death photographer Tsurisaki Kiyotaka is back, with his own unique vision of our planet. The Wasteland is a look into the world around us. It is a look into the aftermath of war, religion, and other evil facets that aid in the destruction of Earth. Kiyotaka teams up with the legendary doom metal band Corrupted to set the mood for this epic. Don't look away. The Wasteland is real.

First Uplink 2002 Japanese issue with insert. Disc signed by Tsurisaki Kiyotaka.

Since 1994, Japanese photographer, film director, and writer Kiyotaka Tsurisaki (b. 1966) has become known for prolifically photographing dead bodies; his images of death and conflict from global "hot-spots" earning him a reputation as a leading underground photographer. For Kiyotaka’s raw photo-journalistic practice he habitats disaster areas, accident sites and war zones, locations where society has collapsed to seek out and photograph man's ultimate taboo — death. Many of these people met with violent ends, whether by vehicle crash, homicide, or suicide. The images are stark, confronting, bleak and profound. Tsurisaki also brings the viewer into morgues and forensics labs, where the macabre work of embalming and autopsy is unapologetically documented. His work has led him from Fukoshima and Japan’s suicide forest Aokigahara, Thailand, Colombia, Mexico, Russia, and Palestine, as well as other lawless or war-torn parts of the world, to photograph human corpses. In El Cartucho, Bogota, Kiyotaka filmed the shockumentary Orozco The Embalmer (2001) — a now cult classic in its genre, alongside his Junk Films (2007) and Wasteland (2012). Tsurisaki has published several photo books and authored Book Of The Dead (2011), and The Dogs of the Nuclear War: A Chronicle Of The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (2017).

Rare 1962 edition of Bellmer's "Die Puppe", published by Gerhardt Verlag in Berlin. German artist Hans Bellmer (1902-1975) was one of the most subversive artists associated with Surrealism, famous—notorious, even--for his erotic engravings, objects and photographs. This collectable first edition of Die Puppe (The Doll) comprises a series of Bellmer's hand-painted photographs in the form of 10 monochrome and 15 coloured tipped-in plates accompanying his remarkable texts, here published for the first time. Bellmer's hand-coloured photographs subsequently acquired an iconic status as perhaps the purest exemplification of the Surrealist ideal of "convulsive beauty." Bellmer weaves a remarkably disparate set of concepts and intuitions—from fields as diverse as mathematics, morphology, optics and psychology—into a theory of eroticism that provides a totally unexpected rationale for his uncompromising art. His ideas are, in the words of poet Joë Bousquet, a "scandal to reason." The book also contains many b/w drawings by Bellmer along with prose poems by Paul Eluard. A book like no other!

Very Good—Near Fine preserved copy of this stunning edition with the die-cut decal cover. Light corner bump, light block shelf wear.

First 1969 US hardcover edition of Wyndham Lewis on Art : Collected Writings 1913-1956, edited and introduced by Walter Michel & C.J. (Cyril James) Fox. A comprehensive anthology of the Vorticist founder's essays, manifestos, and art criticism. An "antagonistic collaborator" to Ezra Pound, Lewis was a brilliant, incisive critic of the modernist era. Distinguished and highly original, Wyndham Lewis (Amherst 1882–London 1957) – writer, painter, essayist and pamphleteer, and the leading figure in the English experimental adventure of 1912-1915 – is known for his sharp wit and sardonic insight. A modern master of satire, expert at deflating the pretensions of democracy, he was born off the coast of Maine in his English father's yacht and grew up in England. He was associated with Roger Fry and Ezra Pound on the vorticist magazine Blast (1914-15). Lewis served in France in World War I, and his dynamic paintings of war scenes soon gained him wide recognition for his ferocious and dehumanizing style.

A book spanning Cosima von Bonin's work of the last decade, and a personal journey into her private world and references.

Published to accompany the German artist's comprehensive exhibition at Mudam Luxembourg (October 2024–March 2025), Cosima von Bonin's new monograph Songs for Gay Dogs is both a book spanning her work of the last decade, and a personal journey into her private world and references, designed by her long-time friend and collaborator Yvonne Quirmbach.

Introduced by Mudam Director Bettina Steinbrügge, it assembles a play by Australian writer and art critic Estelle Hoy that brings to life Cosima von Bonin's recurring characters, an essay by Mudam curator Clémentine Proby about the carnivalesque in her work, a contribution by Pop journalist and Cologne figure Clara Dreschler, and a "Privato" chapter comprising images, texts, and documentation from the artist's personal archive. The book includes 200 illustrations, previously unseen images, and pictures of Cosima von Bonin's newly commissioned installation in Mudam's Grand Hall.

Cosima von Bonin (born 1962 in Mombasa, lives in Cologne) began her career in the early 1990s, following in the footsteps of Martin Kippenberger. A prolific artist, she produced oversized stuffed animals and other fantastical creatures, as well as pseudo-Minimalist sculptures using comedy, cartoons, and pop culture to question social constructions and relations. She explores the relationship of the individual to work, the capitalist production system, and leisure society. She uses knitted and woven fabrics to create objects that enable her to mock industrial means of production, which she feels infantilize the individual. By advocating a life of dolce far niente, of carefree idleness, von Bonin is proposing a form of resistance against the consumerist regime. Her exhibitions include the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt and Mudam Luxembourg, both 2024; Magasin III Jaffa, Tel Aviv (2019); CCS Bard, Annandale-on-Hudson (2018); and Sculpture Center, New York (2016). She participated in the 59th Biennale di Venezia (2022); Skulptur Projekte Münster (2017); Glasgow International (2016); MUMOK, Vienna (2014); Artipelag, Sweden (2013); Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, St. Louis (2011); Arnolfini, Bristol (2011); Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain, Geneva (2011); Museum Ludwig, Cologne (2011); Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria (2010); Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2008); and Documenta, Kassel (2007 & 1982).

Edited by Clémentine Proby and Cosima von Bonin.
Texts by Bettina Steinbrügge, Clara Dreschler, Clémentine Proby, Estelle Hoy.

Too Negative issue no. 8, March 1997. Now rare and highly collectible, Too Negative, the "Forbidden Picture Book", was a visceral and visually explosive glossy cult arts magazine that reflected the gory-depraved-beyond salvation-bad taste expressions visible in international subculture at the height of 1990s underground publishing, a time when art was pushing the limits of taste and morality. Edited solely by legendary Japanese publisher and gallery owner Kotaro Kobayashi and published by Tom Publication Inc. between 1994—2000, each thick, glossy volume takes on the aesthetics of a vibrant fashion magazine in the great Japanese "mook" format (the magazine book) packed cover to cover with themes of Eros and Thanatos, such as fetishism, erotica, medical/autopsy photography, death journalism, Japanese bondage, grotesque and neo-surrealist art, crime scene photography, tattooing/irezumi, piercing, and all things of the mondo, macabre, bizarro realm. Frequent collaborators and featured artists were Kiyotaka Tsurisaki, Joel-Peter Witkin, Trevor Brown, Kiyoshi Ikejiri, to name a few. With a Japanese publishing lineage that may be found in earlier bounding-pushing periodicals such as the 1920s erotic grotesque magazine Hentai Shiriou (Pervert Documents), Tasuhiko Shibusawa’s incredible 1960s avant-garde journal Le Sang Et La Rose, or Fiction Inc’s SALE2 journal published from 1980—mid 1990s, Too Negative, and affiliated periodicals such as ORG, Spiral, Schizo, etc. took their subjects to another level of extremism, even by Japanese standards.

Not for the faint hearted.

This issue, Too Negative issue no. 8, March 1997, features the photography the paintings of Manuel Ocampo, the art of Helter Skelter corpse/death photography, the art of Jake and Dinos Chapman, grotesque tabloid news, the art of Pierre Molinier, the art of Damien Hirst, the fetish photography of Hiroshi Yokoi, latex/rubber fetish photography by Uchiyama Kazunori, Kiyotaka Tsurisaki, Kiyoshi Ikejiri, loads of abnormal medical photography, autopsy, anatomical photographic/illustrated, much more.
