Robert Lebel (1901-1986) was a poet, novelist, essayist, art historian, and painting expert. He took part in the Surrealists' activities and wrote Marcel Duchamp's first monograph in 1959. This book is a facsimile of the original edition in French of Sur Marcel Duchamp Robert Lebel published in 1959 in Paris by Trianon Press. This historical book by Robert Lebel - the first to be published on Marcel Duchamp - is an introduction to the work and personality of a single artist but also a reconsideration of the situation of the painter in contemporary society and a thorough analysis of mobile creative activity. It is supplemented by texts by Marcel Duchamp, André Breton and HP Roché, a bibliography and a catalog raisonné of all the works of Duchamp and is profusely illustrated throughout with images in black and white and inserted, die-cut colour plates. The layout of this book was itself even created and designed by Marcel Duchamp himself and is beautifully reproduced and printed here on paper stocks and using production methods that reflect the qualities of the original book.

Fantastic, visually dense, heavy monograph on the life and work of Man Ray. "At first sight, another book surveying the life and work of this versatile and inventive artist would seem superfluous, yet surprisingly, this excellent catalogue contributes a wealth of new information, thus providing a valuable contribution to our understanding of Man Ray. The treasure trove of images and objects collected here is drawn from the large archives of the Man Ray Trust in Long Island, New York, and includes little known early works, documents and objects from his private life, working drawings and sketches for major works as well as innumerable familiar masterpieces. The publication is accompanied by essays and an extensive chronology." Introductory texts are "The Fate of Objects," by Noriko Fuku and "Unconcerned But Not Indifferent" by John P. Jacob.

Long out of print catalogue published to accompany the exhibition "Assemblage", at Kent Fine Art, New York, May 12-July 2,1987.

Assemblage is an attempt to explore and address the development of assemblage from its beginnings in Dada, with an eye towards the future in a historical climate of developing interest in minimalism and conceptualism. Addressing the West Coast propensity to recycle emotionally-charged detritus, the works in this exhibition reveal an ongoing relevancy of the synthesized by-product, which continues to shape different artist’s personal languages. Including works by: Edward Kienholtz, Bruce Conner, Llyn Foulkes, Arman, Jean Arp, Wallace Berman, Louis Bourgeois, Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp, Max Erst, Eva Hesse, Ed & Nancy Keinholz, Jannis Kounellis, Man Ray, Robert Rauschenberg, Kurt Schwitters, Dorothea Tanning, Tom Wesselmann, and others. Works selected and compiled by D.K. Walla. Includes full page bio, plus double-page plate spread in full-colour for each artist.

First, only edition.

First edition of this great 200 pages French monographic catalogue on Francis Picabia, published on the occasion of the major exhibition at National Galleries of the Grand Palais, 23 January-29 March, 1976.

Lavishly illustrated throughout with reproductions of over 200 of Picabia's paintings, drawings, designs, typography, poems, alongside many photos, portraits, texts (in French), biography, bibliography, and much more.

Francis Picabia (22 January 1879 – 30 November 1953) was a French avant-garde painter, poet, typographist, self-described funny guy, idiot, failure, pickpocket, and anti-artist par excellence. After experimenting with Impressionism and pointillism, Picabia became associated with Cubism. His highly abstract planar compositions were colourful and rich in contrasts. He was one of the defining figures in the Dada movement in the United States and in France; indeed, Andre Breton called Picabia one of the only "true" Dadas. He was later briefly associated with Surrealism, but would soon turn his back on the art establishment.

*Good - some wear to cover edges, corners, spine, otherwise very good throughout.

This copy also includes inserted ephemera from the exhibition - ticketstub, adverts, pamphlets, guides, etc.

'This exhibition spotlights the year of the Tokyo Olympics, 1964, bringing back the art scene of that year in the museum galleries. Many previous exhibitions have shown how important the decade of the sixties was for the development of postwar art. [...] We have chosen to focus on 1964 as a significant dividing line between the first and second half of this fruitful decade. While there are few precedents fro an exhibition concentrating on a single year, we felt that an objective examination of a limited period could give a more precise picture of the art of that time and the ways in which it was related to social changes. There were not many art events directly related to the Tokyo Olympics, especially when compared to the international exposition held in Osaka in 1970. However, the many art movements and ideas which emerged that year had an extremely important effect on things to come. In this exhibition, we show how the year of the Tokyo Olympics, that great landmark of postwar history, was also a turning point in the art history of this country and we present a comprehensive view of the art produced that year. [...]' (Foreword by Kamon Yasuo)

Önskemuseet: The Museum of Our Wishes (December 26, 1963 - February 16, 1964), was a unique and very ambitious exhibition initiated by director Pontus Hultén and Moderna Museet staff that gathered together a collection of modernist art from private owners, in order to present to the public and political administration their vision of what a museum collection could actually be. The exhibition featured works from private collections alongside a “wish list” of works that were still available on the market, calling for the government to allocate funds for purchasing new works for the museum. The request was acknowledged and the Museum received a one-off allocation of five million kronor, a substantial amount in today’s currency, which enabled the purchase of several works that now constitute the core of the collection, positioning Moderna Museet as one of the most dynamic and committed contemporary art institutions of the 1960s.

This is a copy of the first and only edition of the catalogue for the exhibition, which makes up a visual checklist of the artworks and artists featured in this enormous exhibit, taking it's form from art history guides that had started to be created after the war.
Includes introduction by Gerard Boniier as well as additional text by Olle Granath, K.G. Hulten, Ulf Linde and Karin Bergqvist Lindegren. Features works by Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, Raoul Dufy, Emil Nolde, Edwin Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Oscar Kokoschka, Max Beckmann, Chaim Soutine, Wassily Kandinsky, Kasimir Malevich, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Jacques Villon, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Henri Le Fauconnier, Fernand Léger, Robert Delaunay, Roger de la Fresnaye, Henri Laurens, Amédée Ozenfant, Juan Gris, Alexander Archipenko, Jacques Lipchitz, Giacomo Balla, Ardengo Soffici, Carlo Carrà, Umberto Boccioni, Gino Severini, Francis Picabia, Jean Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Kurt Schwitters, Piet Mondrian, El Lissitzky, Theo van Doesburg, Antoine Pevsner, Georges Vantongerloo, Sophie Tauber-Arp, Naum Gabo, Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, Alexander Calder, Charles Despiau, Andre Derain, Maurice Utrillo, Amedeo Modigliani, Otto Dix, Ben Shahn, Marie Laurencin, Constantin Brancusi, Julio Gonzales, Paul Klee, Giorgio de Chirico, Marc Chagall, Max Ernst, Juan Miró, Andre Masson, René Magritte, Yves Tanguy, Alberto Giacometti, Wilfredo Lam, Victor Brauner, Salvador Dali, Sebastian Matta, Henry Moore, Roger Bissière, Jean Bazaine, Maurice Esteve, Alfred Manessier, Nicolas De Staël, Auguste Herbin, Serge Poliafkoff, Victor Pasmore, Barnett Newman, Richard Mortensen, Jean Fautrier, Lucio Fontana, Henri Michaux, Jean Dubuffet, Germaine Richier, Francis Bacon, Wols, Asger Jorn, Alberto Burri, Antonio Tapies, Karel Appel, Mark Tobey, Fritz Hundertwasser, Mark Rothko, Archile Gorky, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Sam Francis, Robert Jacobsen, Robert Rauschenberg, Enrico Baj, César, Jasper Johns, Richard Stankiewicz, Jean Tinguely, Arman, and Yves Klein.

Recently, the idea of “presence” has returned to the arts, humanities, and social sciences. In February 2013, in Zurich’s historical Cabaret Voltaire, which was central to the Dada movement almost a hundred years ago, an experimental international symposium took place that put presence under the microscope.

Presence: A Conversation at Cabaret Voltaire, Zurich is not a traditional post-conference publication but is conceived as a theatrical discussion of ideas between different speakers, both on and offstage. In contrast to transcribed conversations, monologues are interspersed throughout the book, acting like small, performative interruptions. The lively juxtaposition of both individual speech and colloquy is enhanced by theatrical conventions: characters enter and exit; stage directions mirror those found in the cabaret.
