Rare original copy of issue 5 of the legendary Gandalf's Garden magazine from 1969, an important piece of Britain's underground press, issue featuring Soft Machine by drummer/vocalist Robert Wyatt, poetry by Joan Baez, psychedelic artwork by Hans-Joachim Zeidler and John Hurford, "Mind Revolution", Cornwall free press, Meher Baba, communes, Middle-earth, cosmic magazines, record reviews (Third Ear Band, Marc Bolan, etc.), and much more. The "Mystical Scene Magazine" was published by Gandalf's Garden, a mystical community and shoppe based in World's End, Chelsea, which flourished at the end of the 1960s as part of the London hippie-underground movement. Edited by Muz Murray and a huge cast of commune contributors and artists, the magazine emphasised the mystical interests of the period, before 'New Age' was a thing — meditation, psychedelics, back-to-the-land ideology, occultism, cosmic rock... The magazine emerged in 1968 publishing 6 issues, all beautifully designed using different colours of ink and various coloured paper stocks throughout each issue. Each issue was heavily illustrated and filled with articles, poetry, interviews, letters, reports and reviews, and, much like fellows of the underground press such as The International Times and OZ, included a healthy dose of satire and "Earthly Revolution".

Very Good copy of the scarce publication, rubbing/pinching to spine, general wear and light marking.

The rare inaugural issue of Too Negative (No. 1 October 1994). 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   No. 1 October 1994, features the corpse/death photography of Kiyotaka Tsurisaki, fetish photography of Kiyoshi Ikejiri, Trevor Brown artwork, AIDS body theory by Keiji Nakayama, SM photography by David Pearson, Japanese big girl nude portraits by photographer Yurie Nagashima, Yasumasa Yonehara photography, hermaphrodite masterbation, antique Japanese hermaphrodite genital studies and various early medical drawings, erotic assemblage, medical/anatomy photography, you name it.

Rare first 1994 gold hardcover edition of Japanese photographer Masahiko Enomoto's photographic celebration of female public hair. A timely honouring of the forbidden fruit, Japan authorities had recently lifted the ban on the depiction of pubic hair in print and Enomoto's book is one of the boldest and earliest examples of Japanese photographers devoting books to the new uncensored nude (Akira Gomi's "Yellows Privacy '94" and Kishin Shinoyama's "Hair" books were both issued the very same year). Hidden hair was not off the hook entirely, and only tolerated when depiction was deemed “artistic”. Enomoto’s approach was unique and confronting with his poppy pubic portrait approach. Pubes — The Secret Garden (with its wonderful debossed triangle motif pattern print covering the dust jacket and endpapers), is entirely comprised of glossy full-colour studio photography spreads of Japanese models in full nude profile with pubic close-ups on the facing pages. A lavishly designed and charming book. Pubes 2, the following year, followed the same fetish principle, only with Western models. One for the ages!

Very Good copy in VG dust jacket, minor wear.

“My name is Faye and I’m 18. I take 15 mgs of Adderall extended release. I started taking them last year when I was 17. I’ve always had like problems in school, behavioral problems, and I’ve had problems in class… but I was on my last year of high school so—I was doing really badly so my mom and I thought that we should like finally go to a psychiatrist and get something for me to like push me through. Like it wasn’t the most intense examination he was like so- if I didn’t have this problem I could still go in and lie about it. Like I just told him what was wrong with me and he just prescribed me something. Like I could’ve been lying. I said that I can’t pay attention in class, I’m really disorganized, and I also went to him for anxiety too, cause I have really bad anxiety, and I feel like my attention and anxiety go like hand in hand.”

Between 2010 and 2018, Kern interviewed women about the medications they used and the effects of those meds on their outlook. Their responses appear side-by-side with their portraits shot by Kern.

A vast study of the visual culture of industrial music during its development in Europe, the United States and Japan, from the 1970s to the 1990s, a global culture that goes beyond sound experimentation to cross different media (graphics, film, performance, video), in a close dialogue with the heritage of modernity and under the growing influence of technologies.

Industrial music appeared in the mid-1970s, and far from being a simple sound experimentation phenomenon, it quickly produced a global visual culture operating at the intersection of a multitude of media (collage, mail art, installation, film, performance, sound, video) in a close dialogue with the legacy of modernity and the growing influence of technology. Originally British, its development grew in Europe, the United States and Japan during the 1980s. The sound experiments deployed by industrial bands—designing synthesizers, manipulating and transforming recorded sounds from audio tapes recycled or conceived by the artists—were supplemented by a rich array of radical visual productions, deriving their sources from the modernist utopias of the first part of the 20th century. The saturated sounds were translated into abrasive images, altered by a détournement of reprographic techniques (Xerox art) that invested polemical themes: mental control, criminality, occultism, pornography, psychiatry and totalitarianism, among others. This book aims to introduce the visual and aesthetic elements of industrial culture to a general history of contemporary art by analyzing the different approaches taken and topics addressed by the primary protagonists of the movement, who anticipated current issues concerning the media and their coercive power.

Nicolas Ballet is an art historian and associate curator at the Centre Pompidou. He specialises in research into alternative visual cultures, experimental art, sound studies and the avant-garde. He received his PhD from the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, where he teaches contemporary art history. He has written numerous texts exploring the visual and sonic contributions of counter-cultures and experimental artistic practices. He is the author of two books on Genesis P-Orridge, and has published in Les Cahiers du Musée national d'art moderne, Octopus Notes, Marges,OpticalSound, Volume !, Revue & Corrigée, Klima, in Cahiers du CAP and Histo.art (Éditions de la Sorbonne), as well as in books devoted to the work of Nigel Ayers and Zoe Dewitt. In 2023, he curated the exhibition "Who You Staring At? Visual culture of the no wave scene in the 1970s and 1980s" at the Centre Pompidou.

This monograph presents the visual language inseparable from the higly influential sound project of Sam McKinlay, pioneer of the "harsh noise wall" with the multidisciplinary entity The Rita.

Correlations presents some of the images and documents Sam McKinlay finds most definitive in his practice. The monograph is designed to provide a cohesive understanding of the artist's creative trajectory, as well as illuminate The Rita's uncanny process that visually, conceptually, and historically 'connects' seemingly unrelated subjects.

Published by Amaya Productions and curated by Andrea Stillacci; the monograph includes essays by the art historian and Centre Pompidou curator Nicolas Ballet (Shock Factory: The Visual Culture of Industrial Music), associate Professor and harsh noise artist Lexi Turner (Cornell University), and author, writer, producer Kier-La Janisse (House of Psychotic Women).

Credited as one of the pioneers of "harsh noise wall", influential artist Sam McKinlay (born 1974 in California) has been operating under the alias The Rita since the 1990s. Having performed extensively and credited with over 200 releases, the project has grown into a laser focused multidisciplinary venture and is celebrated for pushing the boundaries of "harsh noise". Accompanying The Rita's singular and often unpredictable sonic output is an inseparable and distinct visual language. By combining McKinlay's fine arts education, research, experimentation, and collaboration; the project visually and texturally unites the artist's interests in minimalist design, noise, ballet, sharks, choreography, and film.

Edited by Andrea Stillacci.

Since the late 1970s, Nigel Ayers (b. 1957, UK) has cut a bracing, subversive path through the contemporary underground, bridging DIY industrial enthusiasms with multimedia experimentation to form a singular body of work. Co-founder of the groups The Pump and Nocturnal Emissions (along with brother Daniel Ayers and then-partner Caroline Kaye), Ayers has been a contributor to and proponent of industrial music’s high-water marks, his Sterile Records imprint disseminating not only NE sides but also defining work from Lustmord, SPK, Maurizio Bianchi, and others between 1979 and 1986. In 1987, Ayers inaugurated the Earthly Delights label with the now-canonical Caroline K recording Now Wait For Last Year, and the imprint has since served as Ayers’s primary outlet for releasing new work, whether as Magnetizdat, Spanner Thru Ma Beatbox, or Nocturnal Emissions, a going concern to this day.

Published, designed, and produced by Ross Waitman and Amaya Productions in collaboration with the artist, Electronic Resistance compiles mail-art, collages, assemblages, flyers, slides, video stills, ephemera, record and tape covers to present an arresting cross-section of the genre-sundering art Nigel Ayers created between 1980 and 1992. It features an introductory reflection from Ayers, as well as an essay entitled “Bleeding Images: Antipsychiatry, Death, and Mind Control” by art historian and critic Nicholas Ballet (Université Paris-1 Panthéon-Sorbonne), contextualizing Ayers’s work and extensive career.

This is the first English language edition of Chris Marker’s 1982 photo-essay, Le Dépays. Lovingly adapted from the original design, it features Marker’s own translation astride some of his most exquisite, yet rarely seen, black-and-white photography.

Realized over the same years as its film companion, Sans Soleil, the book traces similar themes—cats and owls and Japan—but without ever leaving Golden-Gai for Guinea-Bissau.

Musing among department store maneki-neko and dreamers on the metro, wandering between Tokyo and no-place at all, this is nevertheless a unique glimpse of Marker feeling very much himself and quite at home; that is, delightfully disoriented.

“Inventing Japan is just another way of getting to know it . . . Trust appearances, consciously confuse the decor with the drama, never worry about understanding, just be there—dasein—and everything will come your way. Well, something, at least . . .”—Chris Marker, from Le Dépays Chris Marker, 1921–2012. Filmed, photographed, traveled, loved cats.

With a new introduction by writer and artist Sadie Rebecca Starnes.

Long before FRUiTS and STREET, Japanese photographer Nobumi Kurimoto paid homage to the self-expression of Japanese girls in this ultimate time-capsule of teen style, published in Tokyo in 1987. Girl's Fashion 1970-1988 is a visual reference book like no other. At over 1500 photographs spanning 320 pages, Kurimoto has obsessively documented the personal style of girls in the streets of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama, Matsuyama, Hiroshima, etc., chronologically arranged by year and roughly grouped by style, creating an exhaustive wealth of material that quietly charts the nuanced history of youth fashion in Japan from a time before people were so self aware in front of a camera. A brilliant and charming book that only gets better with age. It is also a testament to the timeless relevance of Snoopy!

Good—Very Good copy. Some spotting to block edges and slight kinking to body, overall very well preserved throughout, inc. spine. G—VG metallic dust jacket with minor age wear/spotting. Now preserved in mylar wrap.

Long-awaited re—print of G.B. Jones' legendary 1994 monograph.

G.B. Jones (b. 1965, Bowmanville, Canada) is recognized for many accomplishments: for the success of her post-punk band Fifth Column (1981–2002), the widespread influence of the many queer punk zines she co-authored, including J.D.s, Double Bill and Hide, her coining of the term “queercore,”and her prolific work as a “no-budget” filmmaker, scene photographer and visual artist. Her drawing series, “Tom Girls,” originally published in J.D.s, replaced Tom of Finland’s iconic, “hyper-virile studs” with bold, uncompromising leather dykes, co-opting Finland’s objectified, male-on-male erotica and presenting a world of “nasty female role models”—Dodie Bellamy.

In 1994, Feature Inc. + Instituting Contemporary Idea in New York released the monograph G.B. Jones. Edited and designed by Steve Lafreniere, the book compiled Jones’ “Tom Girls” drawings alongside show and film posters, record covers, comics and commissioned writing, including contributions and appearances by Dennis Cooper, Vaginal Davis, Dodie Bellamy, Kevin Killian, Caroline Azar, Johnny Noxzema, and others. As part of a campaign by the Canadian Border Services agency against allegedly pornographic or immoral materials in the 1990s, copies of Jones’ book were seized by the Canada Border Services Agency and barred from entering the country on the charge of depicting “bondage.” Jones was later informed that the seized copies had been burned by Border Control agents.

27 years later, in collaboration with Jones, Kunstverein Toronto is putting G.B. Jones back in circulation in Canada. This re—publication of the book was published to accompany a 2022 exhibition of related drawings, photographs, posters, ephemera and tributes that reflect the reach and influence of Jones’ heterogenous practice, both at the time of the original release of G.B. Jones, and today.

“The greatest Australian poet you’ve never heard of”—Anne Marsh

Very rare copy of Australian avant-garde poet and playwright Christopher Barnett's theatre poem, Selling Ourselves for Dinner, performed at the Adelaide Festival in 1982 with the All Out Ensemble (Nicholas Tsoutas, Peggy Wallach, etc.) in the Rundle Street Carpark. Printed at The Experimental Art Foundation in Adelaide and published by the All Out Ensemble, this hand-made publication, final drafted in December 1981, presents the entire revolutionary performance—poem by Christopher Barnett, scene for scene, along with introduction, cast credits and bios. Starring Barnett as his hero, Soviet-Russian poet and playwright Vladimir Mayakovsky, the play opens at a reading of Mayakovsky's work at the Moscow Polytechnic in 1929. Directed by Nicholas Tsoutas, the cast of characters includes Lilya Brik, Jean Cocteau, Isadora Duncan, Alexander Fadeyev, Jim Morrison, Sergei Yesenin, etc. with visual and sound contributions from Michael Trudgeon, Derek Kreckler, Laughing Hands, Peter Cheslyn, Jacky Redgate, Ian de Gruchy, and many more.

In Adelaide and Melbourne in the early 1980s the hard talking, hard living poet Christopher Barnett was a force to be reckoned with—socially, artistically, politically, not that he made these distinctions. A charismatic public performer once described by the press as "one of the most controversial figures on the Australian art scene", this self-styled “Cultural Bolshevik”—a homage to his hero, Valdimir Mayakovsky—and a key collaborator with Nicholas Tsoutas and Peggy Wallach in the All Out Ensemble, Barnett left Adelaide for Fitzroy and then in the mid 80s relocated to Nantes in France where he became notable for co-founding an experimental company, Le Dernier Spectateur, working with the disenfranchised, where he remains to this day.

This copy with inserted dot matrix printed poem, “Telec".

Very Good copy.

"In 1979, Jane Kent, from the Women's Art Movement in Adelaide, had a three week installation in the Ewing Gallery. She and Ann Marsh, also from WAM suggested a weekend get together later in 1979 for Adelaide and Melbourne women artists. After discussion with Kiffy Rubbo and Judy Annear, the idea developed into a week long event of performances, seminars and documentation from women around Australia to be held June 2-6, 1980. The eventual make-up of the week was 14 performances by 12 women, plus a performance by the WIMMINS CIRCUS (courtesy Union Council). The women who performed were Cath Cherry, Jane Kent, Vineta Lagzdina, Ann Marsh, from Adelaide; Bonita Ely, Ann Fogarty, Jill Orr, Liz Paterson, from Melbourne; Joan Grounds, Jackie Lawes, Anna Paci, from Sydney, and Jan Hunter from Hobart. Documentation of performances by the above women and many others was exhibited in the gallery: this took the form of written material, videotapes, slides and installation."—Judy Annear and Aleks Danko, October 1980

First edition of this important and now very scarce volume of essays by Australian art historian, Bernard Smith (1916—2011), The Antipodean Manifesto : Essays in Art and History, published by Oxford in 1976. The book centres around the controversial title essay "The Antipodean Manifesto", first published on the occasion of the Antipodean group's only exhibition, held in Melbourne in August 1959. The Antipodeans were a group of Australian modern artists (Charles Blackman, Arthur Boyd, David Boyd, John Brack, Robert Dickerson, John Perceval and Clifton Pugh) who asserted the importance of figurative art, and protested against abstract expressionism. Though they staged but a single exhibition, they were noted internationally and the manifesto provoked strong reaction. Smith was a lecturer and then a senior lecturer in the University of Melbourne's Fine Arts Department (1955–1967) during this time. Smith's collection continues with texts on Perceiving the Australian Suburb, William Morris, Whitlam government arts funding, Coleridge and Cook, the Myth of Isolation, and much more.

"This book contains a selection of essays and articles written by Bernard Smith during the past thirty years. They have been written in the belief that art is concerned more with what it is to be human than with aesthetic, formal or monetary values, though such factors do play a part, often too great a part, in the evaluation of works of art. Bernard Smith has always been an outspoken commentator on controversial issues, and many of the hard-hitting articles he has written over the years are still very relevant today. His views on the 'myth' of Australia's isolation from the influence of the mainstream of Western art, for example, and on the dubious value of a National Art Gallery in fostering an appreciation of the arts, are stimulating and incisive. Also included here are essays on the work of individual artists such as William Dobell and Henry Moore; on issues peculiar to Australian art and on more general matters, such as Government support for the arts, art and history, art and the industrial society, art and romanticism; and finally Professor Smith's long and fascinating paper which reveals that Coleridge's poem The Ancient Mariner was almost certainly based on Cook's second voyage around the world."—book blurb

Bernard William Smith (1916—2011) was an Australian art historian, art critic and academic, considered the founding father of Australian art history, and one of the country's most important thinkers. His book Place, Taste and Tradition: a Study of Australian Art Since 1788 is a key text in Australian art history, and influence on Robert Hughes. Smith was associated with the Communist Party of Australia, and after leaving the party remained a prominent left-wing intellectual and Marxist thinker. Following the death of his wife in 1989, he sold much of their art collection to establish the Kate Challis RAKA, one of the first prizes in the country for Indigenous artists and writers.

Rare catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition REINVENTING THE GRID curated by Rachel Kent, Robert Lindsay Gallery, 5—29 October, 1994, in association with the Melbourne International Festival of the Arts, featuring the works of Angela Brennan, lan Burn, Debra Dawes, Rosalie Gascoigne, Dale Hickey, Robert Hunter, Robert Jacks, Martin King, Hilarie Mais, Deborah Ostrow, Robert Owen, Louise Paramor, Rodney Spooner, John Young.

"While it has been a theme for research and exhibition internationally, the grid has received less critical attention in Australia. One of the intentions of this exhibition, therefore, is to explore some of the ways in which the grid is figured in the art of a selection of fourteen Australian artists, from the mid—1960s to the present day."

This book looks at the work of Austrian avant-garde artist Hermann Nitsch, particularly his ritualistic and existential “public aktionen” under the Orgies Mysterien Theater. Presented through the documentation of these events as they were recorded (scored, directed, written down, photographed, published, and reported), this archiving method explores Nitsch’s performative practice, both in terms of how the performance is organised and by what means the organisation is effected by the original and primary scripts the artist prepared for his own actions. The book includes detailed materials, among them images, sketches, texts, staging, choreography, sound, and music.

The most comprehensive, exhaustive volume of collected works by Viennese Actionist, painter, graphic artist, experimental filmmaker and writer, Günter Brus (b. 1938).

Under the title ‘Disclosure’, what is probably in terms of its scope and quality the most outstanding private collection of Günter Brus’ work is now presented for the first time. Over the past few decades, the THP Private Foundation has built up an extensive collection of the artist’s work. This ranges from one of his first watercolours from the late 1950s through to the latest works during the lockdown of 2020. This comprehensive monograph contains major works from all of the artist’s creative periods and traces vividly the development of the exceptional artist Günter Brus from Viennese Actionist to celebrated picture-poet.

Published on occasion of the exhibition ‘Günter Brus: Disclosure – A Retrospective from the Collection of the THP Private Foundation’, 28 Oct 2022 – 5th March 2023, Neue Galerie Graz, Austria.

The exhibition was curated by Roman Grabner of Neue Galerie Graz, who edits and contributes to this book. English and German text.

Günter Brus (born 1938 in Ardning, Austria) is an Austrian artist known for his controversial films, performances, and paintings. He was notably a member of the Viennese Actionist Group alongside Otto Muehl and Hermann Nitsch. In 1960, the artist’s interest in the paintings of Jackson Pollock led his transition into making performance-based paintings regarding his own body. Many of the Viennese Actionist’s radical acts were intended as reactions to what they considered the ongoing legacy of Nazi fascism in Austrian culture. His 1968 performance Kunst und Revolution, consisted of the artist consuming his own urine, masturbating in public, and vomiting, he was subsequently jailed for six months. Brus currently lives and works in Graz, Austria.

Rare first 1969 printing of the seminal "Art Povera", the phenomenal and now legendary critical/photographic book by the great Italian art historian, critic and curator Germano Celant (1940—2020) that internationally established the so-called Art Povera / Arte Povera movement (meaning "poor art", coined by Celant in 1967) and published by Studio Vista, London and printed in Italy.

Includes profiles of major artists of the movement, including a short text followed by pages of full-page photographs for each artist. Artists featured: Walter de Maria, Michelangelo Pisteletto, Stephen Kaltenbach, Richard Long, Mario Merz, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Beuys, Eva Hesse, Michael Heizer, Ger van Elk, Lawrence Weiner, Luciano Fabro, Bruce Nauman, Joseph Kosuth, Jan Dibbets, Giovanni Anselmo, Robert Barry, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Dennis Oppenheim, Barry Flanagan, Robert Smithson, Giulio Paolini, Reiner Ruthenbeck, Alighiero Boetti, Giuseppe Penone, Franz Erhard Walther, Hans Haacke, Gilberto Zorio, Robert Morris, Marinus Boezem, Carl Andre, Emilio Prini, Richard Serra.

"This book does not aim at being an objective and general analysis of the phenomenon of art or life, but is rather an attempt to flank (both art and life) as accomplices of the changes and attitudes in the development of their daily becoming. This book does not attempt to be objective since the awareness of objectivity is false consciousness. The book, made up of photographs and written documents, bases its critical and editorial assumptions on the knowledge that criticism and iconographic documents give limited vision and partial perception of artistic work. The book, when it reproduces the documents of artistic work, refutes the linguistic mediation of photography. The book, even though it wants to avoid the logic of consumption, is a consumer's item. ... This book produces a collection of already old material. ... In this book there is no need to reflect in order to seek a unitary and reassuring value, immediately refuted by the the authors themselves, rather there is the necessity to look into it for the changes, limits, precariousness and instability of artistic work." — text from Celant's introduction "Stating That."

A must.
