An exhibition of the Festival of Sydney in 1981, "this exhibition shows contemporary clothing and accessories as 'wearable art objects' by young Australian artists and designers.

Very rare, bullet-holed, anti-Gulf War catalogue published in 1991 by the Iowa Chapter of the Aggressive School of Cultural Workers on the occasion of a huge international mailart exhibition mounted in response to the US backed United Nations coalition announcement to use force to oust Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. Opposed to the looming Persian Gulf War, a call out for work from the international correspondence network resulted in 151 contributions from a total of 25 countries, exhibited in three Iowa City locations, with plans to travel the exhibition to Kill Time Space, Philadelphia, and ABC No Rio, New York, after this catalogue was published.

Packed with xerox collage artworks reproduced full-bleed in b/w, the catalogue has a comprehensive index of the many contributors, texts by the Iowa Chapter of the Aggressive School of Cultural Workers, with the pink insert reproduced text by the Bureau of Public Secrets, 'The War and The Spectacle'. The catalogues were then shot by a member of the US Army Reserves.

Very Good copy with light age.

A 50th-anniversary tribute to one of America's first racially integrated exhibitions.

In August 1971 Peter Bradley mounted the landmark exhibition The De Luxe Show at the legendary DeLUXE theater in Houston's Fifth Ward. The De Luxe Show was a milestone in civil rights history, as one of the first racially integrated shows in the United States. Curated by Bradley with the backing of collector and philanthropist John de Menil, the exhibition featured emerging and established abstract modern painters and sculptors of the time, including Darby Bannard, Peter Bradley, Anthony Caro, Dan Christensen, Ed Clark, Frank Davis, Sam Gilliam, Robert Gordon, Richard Hunt, Virginia Jaramillo, Daniel Johnson, Craig Kauffman, Alvin Loving, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, Michael Steiner, William T. Williams and James Wolfe.

In August 2021, for its 50th anniversary, Karma and Parker Gallery staged a contemporary bicoastal tribute to The De Luxe Show. The tribute honors the long, pioneering legacies of the artists of The De Luxe Show, and continues the dialogue between these innovators in the field of abstraction that began 50 years ago. This fully illustrated catalog includes texts and installation images from the original 1971 catalog, as well as a newly commissioned text by Amber Jamilla Musser and a text by Bridget R. Cooks that expands upon her 2013 essay in Gulf Coast.

The Invention of the Neue Wilde
Painting and Subculture around 1980

The Invention of the Neue Wilde aims to put a new perspective on the phenomena of the so-called ‘Neue Wilde’ (new Fauves), which was a term used in Germany for neo-expressionism: a movement which saw the re-emergence of expressive painting in the late 1970s and 1980s. Its most famous protagonists include Martin Kippenberger, Werner Büttner, Salome and Walter Dahn.

Instead of focusing on the production of paintings by those involved – and a corresponding catalogue of these paintings – it is much more interested in the emergence of the painting boom out of potent interplay between artists, gallerists, collectors and art historians. Here the focus is especially on personal backgrounds and the context in which painters worked.

The argument shows that the artistic practices of the ‘Neuen Wilden’ had little to do with a generalised ‘return’ to panel painting and thus to a traditional concept of art. Painting was in fact embedded in an extended network of artistic production, which was particularly characterised by a destabilisation in the division between high and popular culture as well as by various media, genres and collaborative forms of praxis.

Hitherto neglected photographic and documentary material as well as artists’ posters, records, newspapers, video works and artists’ books testify to the artists’ experimental bent on one hand, their proximity to self-organised, subcultural phenomenon, such as the punk or new wave scenes of the 1980s on the other. On this basis, the much-described ‘return’ to painting can be exposed as a hugely simplified narrative, while sketching out a complex image of the situation around 1980.

Artists: Hans Peter Adamski, Peter Bömmels, Werner Büttner, Luciano Castelli, Walter Dahn, Jiÿí Georg Dokoupil, Rainer Fetting, G. L. Gabriel-Thieler, Anne Jud, Martin Kippenberger, Helmut Middendorf, Christa Näher, Hilka Nordhausen, Markus Oehlen, Brigitta Rohrbach, Salomé, Bettina Semmer, Bettina Sefkow, Claudia Skoda, Rolf von Bergmann, Bernd Zimmer, and others.

Under the name ‘Mülheimer Freiheit’ artist’s Hans Peter Adamski, Peter Bömmels, Walter Dahn, Jiří Georg Dokoupil, Gerard Kever and Gerhard Naschberger exhibited together for the first time in November 1980 at the Paul Maenz Gallery in Cologne and soon thereafter internationally. The way they purposefully questioned the pseudo-individual “creative” artist ego in an unpathetic and humorous way ensures them a special status in the “Hunger nach Bildern” [hunger for images] to this day. Clearly more and different than just “Wilde Malerei” [wild painting] in their approach ‘Mülheimer Freiheit’ was an announcement that was to shape the art scene in Europe for an entire decade.

The book, with many illustrations of works, offers for the first time an overview of the group’s history, made vivid by numerous previously unpublished photographs by Benjamin Katz. Accompanying texts by Margrit Brehm, Wilfried Dickhoff, Axel Heil, Sophie Hirschmüller, Toby Kamps, and Paul Maenz.

Published on occasion of the exhibition ‘Painting Tumult 1979-1988 / Made in Cologne’, 13 Nov 2022–16 Apr 2023, Center of Contemporary Art in Toruń, Poland.

Co-published with the Tumult Foundation.

Out of the Grid presents a critical selection of 100 Italian zines from 1978 to 2006 that display a broad spectrum of social, political, aesthetic, and technological changes in the use of language and communication strategies across the territory of self publishing.

Widely mapping Italian society, particularly youth culture—over an extended period that can be symbolically defined as the "post-movement" and "pre-internet3.0"—, this outpouring of creativity gave visibility to small, imaginative and technical shifts on paper that made mimeographs, photocopiers and offset machines tremble, and often erupted into the need to communicate through other mediums. The titles selected originated from different scenes—musical, social, artistic, literary...—within which the distances between authors and readers is eliminated. To help navigate this multitude of subcultures, each zine is introduced by a profile that provides further analysis and information. No specific structure has been imposed, leaving room for the specific characteristics of each project to emerge. 100 titles ∞ paths.

Edited by Dafne Boggeri with Sara Serighelli.

The Fluxus Newspaper collects all eleven newspapers published by the Fluxus art collective between January 1964 and March 1979. The newspapers were edited by an ever-changing team of artists known as the Fluxus Editorial Council for Fluxus and every issue, except the last two, was designed by Fluxus founder George Maciunas.

Although published irregularly, the newspapers were used to promote Fluxus events and publications, especially the group’s famous multiples and Fluxkits, with advertising materials, order forms, and pricelists interspersed throughout. More than just a space for promotion and information, the Fluxus newspapers featured the work of over sixty artists as well as appropriated newspaper headlines, advertisements, articles, and comic strips that are indicative of the group’s anti-art sensibility and characteristic humour.

The Fluxus Newspaper is exemplative of the 'do-it-yourself' creative attitude characteristic of Fluxus – an approach that is collaborative, interdisciplinary, anti-commercial, humorous, and open to anyone. The periodical is also an early example of the artist newspaper, a medium which grew out of the underground press movement and flourished in the late 60s and 70s as artists began to seek new mediums for presenting and distributing their work.

Artists featured in The Fluxus Newspaper include: Ay-O, Carol Bergé, Joseph Beuys, Elaine Bloedow, George Brecht, Christo, Philip Corner, Walter De Maria, Willem de Ridder, Bern Erismann, Nye Ffarrabas [participating as Bici Forbes], Robert Filliou, Henry Flynt, Ken Friedman, Carolyn Krumm, Heinz Gappmayr, Eugen Gomringer, Raymond Hains, Dick Higgins, Geoffrey Hendricks, Jon Hendricks, Alice Hutchins, Tatsu Izumi, Ray Johnson, Joe Jones, Allan Kaprow, Milan Knížak, Alison Knowles, Arthur Köpcke, Takehisa Kosugi, Ruth Krauss, Philip Krumm, György Ligeti, George Maciunas, Angus MacLise, Jackson Mac Low, Larry Miller, Peter Moore, Hans Nordenström, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Benjamin Patterson, James Riddle, Dieter Roth, Takako Saito, Mieko Shiomi, Tomas Schmit, Daniel Spoerri, Christer Strömholm, Yasunao Tone, Stan VanDerBeek, Ben Vautier, Jacques Villeglé, Wolf Vostell, Yoshimasa Wada, Robert Watts, Emmett Williams, William S.

Scarce copy of the only edition of the most elaborately designed, and lowest circulated Documenta catalogue, conceived by curator Harald Szeemann to accompany the fifth edition of Documenta, a quinquennial contemporary art exhibition held in Kassel, Germany.

Subtitled "100 Days of Inquiry into Reality -- Today's Imagery," curated by the team of Harald Szeemann, Jean-Christophe Ammann and Arnold Bode, Documenta 5 followed a lineage of comprehensive shows documenting conceptually and minimally charged artworks curated by Szeemann including Live in Your Head (Kunsthalle Bern, 1969), and Happenings and Fluxus (Kunstverein, Köln), 1970. The largest, most expensive and most diverse of any exhibition anywhere, Documenta 5 was criticized in 1972 as being “bizarre…vulgar…sadistic” by art critic and essayist Hilton Kramer and “monstrous… overtly deranged” by art historian and art critic Barbara Rose, yet it still resonates today as one of the most important exhibitions in history. Featuring the works of over 170 artists and an equally expansive variety of materials and subjects drawn from popular cultural materials, architecture, science fiction, kitsch objects, film, advertising, children's art, etc. in addition to the more anticipated international survey of new painting and sculpture - Documenta 5 valiantly attempted to bridge the gap between art, culture, science and the broader society. This massive tome is housed in the iconic orange vinyl-covered, two-ring binder screen printed with the famous ant design by Edward Ruscha. The binder holds a tabbed index of illustrated artist's pages and associated texts and material, largely in German, but also many in English. All registers are present apart from the usual missing 19-25 which were not directly integrated into the catalogue and had to be ordered by the visitor separately to become their own contribution. This very complete copy also includes the additional 80 page, hole-punched Documenta 5 guide book, with floor plans, complete listing of exhibited artworks, list of exhibitions, bibliography, and many gallery, museum and other related advertisements. More than a catalogue, this publication is a piece of art history in itself.

Catalogue also includes Bob Projansky and Seth Siegelaub's "The Artist's Reserved Rights Transfer and Sale Agreement." This "Agreement form has been drafted by Bob Projansky, a New York lawyer, after my [Siegelaub] extensive discussions and correspondence with over 500 artists, dealers, lawyers, collectors, museum people, critics and other concerned people involved in the day-to-day workings of the international art world. The Agreement has been designed to remedy some generally acknowledged inequities in the art world, particularly artists' lack of control over the use of their work and participation in its economics after they no longer own it. The Agreement for has been written with special awareness of the current ordinary practices and economic realitites of the art world, particularly its private, cash and informal nature, with careful regard for the interests and motives of all concerned. It is expected to be the standard form for the transfer and sale of all contemporary art, and has been made as fair, simple and useful as possible. It can be used either as presented here or slightly altered to fit your specific situation. If the following information does not answer all your questions consult your attorney." -- from Agreement's cover.

A comprehensive volume on the influential Dutch gallery that united American and European conceptualism For more than 33 years, the Amsterdam gallery Art & Project (1968-2001) played a pivotal role in the development of contemporary art within the Netherlands and beyond. Founders Adriaan van Ravesteijn (1938-2015) and Geert van Beijeren (1933-2005) presented a pioneering program of work by both national and international artists, including Marinus Boezem, Stanley Brouwn, Jan Dibbets, Charlotte Posenenske, Gilbert & George, Lawrence Weiner and Sol LeWitt, among many others. The cofounders published a total of 156 bulletins to draw attention to their exhibitions, and the bulletins quickly evolved into an experimental medium—from carriers of conceptual artists' ideas to conceptual artworks themselves.

Art & Project: A History examines the gallery's exhibitions, bulletins, social networks and international legacy. Replete with extensive research and previously unpublished visual material, this massive book provides an indispensable overview of the history of conceptual art in the Netherlands.

Text by Jip Hinten, Isabelle Bisseling, Ton Geerts, Regine Ehleither.

Boldly illustrated throughout with works by Dürer and his contemporaries, including Martin Schongauer, Michael Wolgemut, Andrea Mantegna, Lucas Cranach the Elder. Texts by Sonia Dean, head of Prints and Drawings.

‘It can be said without exaggeration that the history of painting would remain unchanged had Dürer never touched a brush and a palette, but that the first five years of his independent work as an engraver and woodcut designer sufficed to revolutionise the graphic arts.’—Erwin Panofsky, 1943

The Staatliche Graphische Sammlung in Munich houses one of the finest and most famous collections of drawings and prints in Germany, with holdings of around 400,000 works ranging from the fifteenth century to modernity. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Morgan Library and Museum in New York, 100 Master Drawings from Munich comprises lush full-color illustrations of over one hundred of the museum’s works of art.

Demonstrating the impressive depth and breadth of works owned by the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung, the works in this volume range from rough preparatory sketches to meticulously executed studies and encompass a variety of media, including silverpoint, chalk, ink, and aquarelle. Among the many extraordinary pieces are Old Dutch and German prints, nineteenth-century German drawings, and works by Dürer and Rembrandt. But equally not to be missed are the many compelling works of contemporary graphic art for which the museum is best known.

Very Good—NF copy.

First hardcover 1983 edition of Masterpieces of Italian Drawing in the Robert Lehman Collection in The Metropolitan Museum of Art by George Szabo, long out-of-print.

"The Robert Lehman Collection, now a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, represents a unique chapter in the history of art collecting and connoisseurship. Its master drawings rank high among all the world's collections, especially — because of their sheer number, great variety, and extraordinary quality — the Italian drawings. Here are magnificent sheets by many of the greatest masters of the Italian Renaissance and beyond: Pollaiuolo, Bellini, Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, Fra Bartolommeo, Signorelli, Bronzino, Tintoretto, Cambiaso, Veronese, Carracci, Canaletto, Guardi, Piranesi, the Tiepolos, and 38 more. Each of these masterpieces from Italy's incomparable flowering of draughtsmanship is reproduced in this splendid volume in a full-color plate of astonishing fidelity and delicacy, and each is accompanied by a biography of the artist and a full commentary (including provenance and bibliography). The author is Dr. George Szabo, Curator of the Lehman Collection since 1963. In addition to his fascinating texts on the individual drawings, his Introduction provides a short history of the collecting of Italian drawings in New York, a history of the Lehman family and Collection, and an extensive discussion of Italian paintings and decorative arts in the Collection, especially as they relate to the drawings. An additional 82 works of art appear within the Introduction in rich duotone; more than half of these are drawings, and the balance are paintings, majolica, illuminated manuscripts, bronzes, sculptures, furniture, and jewelry. A comprehensive bibliography completes Masterieces of Italian Drawing in the Robert Lehman Collection, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which will be treasured by all lovers of drawings, of Italian art, and of fine book making."

Great catalogue published in 1991 on the occasion of the exhibition Mind over Matter: Concept and Object, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, October 3, 1990 - January 6, 1991. Curated by Richard Armstrong the exhibition showcased the work of Ashley Bickerton, Ronald Jones, Nayland Blake, Liz Larner, Tishan Hsu, and Annette Lemieux. These young artists use objects and materials to create idea-oriented painting and sculpture. Representatives of a third generation of conceptual artists, they have turned from the self-conscious absorption of formalist art, addressing instead social as well as aesthetic issues. This articulate generation, conversant with art historical precedents, explores larger fields of knowledge, in a conscious rejection of Modernism and post-Modernism.

Profusely illustrated in colour and b/w with extensive sections devoted to each artist, including interviews and statements, alongside curator's essay and a full list of exhibited works.

Good copy with some wear to cover and spine. Very Good throughout interior.

Produced in association with the upcoming ACCA exhibition of the same name, this publication casts a lens upon feminist, queer, and non-binary subjectivities to consider the transgressive pleasures and liberations of horror, as makers, masters and consumers of the genre.

From the other side features curatorial texts by Elyse Goldfinch and Jessica Clark, alongside writings from Barbara Creed, author of The Monstrous Feminine; Canadian film writer Kier-La Janisse, author of the cult classic, House of Psychotic Women, 2012; Lisa Fuller, a Murri woman and author of the novel Ghost Bird, 2021; and a horror-themed screenplay by UK-based author and filmmaker Alison Peirse, editor of the Women Make Horror anthology, 2021.

Artists featured in the exhibition and book include Clare Milledge, Cybele Cox, Heather B Swann, Jemima Lucas, Julia Robinson, Karla Dickens, Kellie Wells, Lonnie Hutchinson, Louise Bourgeois, Maria Kozic, Marianna Simnett, Mia Boe, Minyoung Kim, Naomi Blacklock, Naomi Kantjuriny, SJ Norman, Suzan Pitt, Tracey Moffatt and Zamara Zamara.

The exhibition crosses the artificial parameters of horror in the everyday, as something that exists as part of society but also from outside of it. Culminating in a potent synthesis of dread, camp, humour and catharsis, From the other side challenges the traditional narratives and assumed boundaries of the body, gender, the self and the ‘other’.
