Stuart Davis by: Sweeney, James Johnson

Stuart Davis
by: Sweeney, James Johnson

Hardcover. NY, Museum of Modern Art, 1st, 1945, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a lightly worn dust jacket with tanning to edges, 40 pages. 3 color, 28 b&w plates. Considers the life and work of American modernist Stuart Davis. (1892-1964) "Offers an informal account of Davis' career from its precocious beginning in the school of Robert Henri as a follower of The Eight through the impact of the Armory Show and the subsequent evolution of his work. The text is unique in that the artist, as far as possible, speaks for himself. James Johnson Sweeney has skillfully interwoven Davis' own terse and lively talk of pictures, places, people and esthetic theory with a running narrative and critical commentary."

Painting Culture: The Making of an Aboriginal High Art (SIGNED COPY)by: Myers, Fred R.

Painting Culture: The Making of an Aboriginal High Art (SIGNED COPY)
by: Myers, Fred R.

Softcover. Durham NC, Duke University Press, 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 410 pages, b&w, color illustrations. INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on the half-title page. Painting Culture tells the complex story of how, over the past three decades, the acrylic "dot" paintings of central Australia were transformed into objects of international high art, eagerly sought by upscale galleries and collectors. Since the early 1970s, Fred R. Myers has studied--often as a participant-observer--the Pintupi, one of several Aboriginal groups who paint the famous acrylic works. Describing their paintings and the complicated cultural issues they raise, Myers looks at how the paintings represent Aboriginal people and their culture and how their heritage is translated into exchangeable values. He tracks the way these paintings become high art as they move outward from indigenous communities through and among other social institutions--the world of dealers, museums, and critics.

Resnick has been amassing a superb collection of 2,000 vintage movie posters and 1,500 stills, which has never before been published. Starstruck: Vintage Movie Posters from Classic Hollywood features the best of Resnick's collection, with vivid reproductions of 250 posters and forty stills from the golden age of Hollywood, 1912 to 1962. In a moving introduction, Resnick relates how his love of vintage movie art translated into a career as a collector and the founder of the Motion Picture Arts Gallery, the first gallery devoted exclusively to the art of the movies. Resnick's firsthand account offers entertaining anecdotes about how he managed to acquire such stellar film artwork, as well as historical information about the stars and films shown on the pieces he collected. Guiding the reader through the best posters and stills of his collection, Resnick provides a tour of cinematic history, starting in the silent film era and continuing up to Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). By showcasing several posters for each performer--such as Lillian Gish, the Marx Brothers, Marilyn Monroe, John Barrymore, and Audrey Hepburn--Resnick offers a unique method of charting the evolution of each movie star's career.

Interaction of Color: New Complete Editionby: Josef Albers, Nicholas Fox Weber (Foreword)

Interaction of Color: New Complete Edition
by: Josef Albers, Nicholas Fox Weber (Foreword)

Hardcover. New Haven CT, Yale University Press, reprint, 2009, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Two hardcovers in a black cloth slipcase. Josef Albers's masterwork, Interaction of Color, is one of the most influential books on color ever published. Originally issued in 1963 as a limited-edition set of commentary and 150 silkscreened color plates, the book introduced generations of students, artists, designers, and collectors to Albers's unique approach to complex principles. This beautiful edition brings Interaction back into classrooms and studios and onto bookshelves, where it will find an eager new audience. It replicates Albers's revolutionary exercises, explaining concepts such as color relativity and vibrating and vanishing boundaries through the use of color, shape, die-cut forms, and movable flaps that illustrate his astonishing demonstrations of the changing and relative nature of color. Also included for the first time are studies from the Albers archive, produced by the artist's students in the early 1960s. Clean set.

Barnett Newman: The Stations of the Cross: Lema Sabachthani by: Alloway, Lawrence

Barnett Newman: The Stations of the Cross: Lema Sabachthani
by: Alloway, Lawrence

Softcover. NY, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1st, 1966, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, purple paper wrappers with black lettering, 42 pages, b&w illustrations. According to the art critic Harold Rosenberg there is nothing religious about Barnett Newman's series of fourteen roughly human-sized, black and white paintings, The Stations of the Cross: Lema Sabachtani. Rosenberg, countering Thomas Hess's kabalistic reading of Newman's work, argued that Newman's The Stations should be understood in the context of Newman's idiosyncratic, secular world view. This in some respect is correct--Newman was not religious in any traditional sense and railed against dogma of any kind--but Rosenberg surprisingly failed to understand fully that Newman's recourse to a powerful religious symbol allowed him to point to the political import of his subject when other aesthetic and political vocabularies failed him.

Katy Grannan: The Ninety Nine and The Nine
by: Grannan, Katy (Photographer)

Hardcover. San Francisco, Fraenkel Gallery, 1st, 2014, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 160 pages. Two volumes in slipcase. Very clean, like new in publishers shrink-wrap. The result of three years of work in California's Central Valley, Katy Grannan's new series The 99 features large-scale color portraits and black-and-white photographs. Grannan's recent photographs are set in the parched landscape and forgotten towns along Highway 99, including Modesto, Fresno and Bakersfield. In her intensely vivid color portraits, the artist works at midday when the sun is direct and the heat is unrelenting, presenting each individual, often simultaneously heroic and vulnerable, against stark, white backgrounds. In the black-and-white photographs, many of her subjects re-appear on Modesto's South 9th Street and along the banks of the Tuolumne River. Everyday rituals, small interactions and moments of beauty on the fringes of society are depicted in detail, conferring significance to what is often overlooked. This large-format, two-volume, slipcased monograph gathers this series for the first time.

Burn the Diariesby: Davey, Moyra/Alison Strayer

Burn the Diaries
by: Davey, Moyra/Alison Strayer

Softcover. Wien, mumok/ICA/Dancing Foxes Press, 1st, 2014, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 60 pages. Softcover. Previous owners name and date on title page. Illustrated with full color photography. Light wear. Clean, unmarked text. In the oeuvre of New York artist Moyra Davey (born 1958), literature and writing are as significant as photography, film and video. In her latest text, Burn the Diaries, Davey considers the work of French playwright and political activist Jean Genet, while examining fugitive moments from her own life. An essay by her childhood friend and reading companion Alison Strayer, written in response, reflects on Davey's themes. The publication is part of a group of new works--also including photographs, a film and an installation of her signature mailers, which Davey sends to family, friends and acquaintances--that illuminate the relationship between image and language. This volume can be read both as an artist's book and a catalogue to accompany the exhibition at Mumok, Vienna, and the ICA, Philadelphia, in 2014.

Oxford Project, Theby: Feldstein, Peter(Photographer)

Oxford Project, The
by: Feldstein, Peter (Photographer)

Paperback. New York, Welcome Books, 1st, 2008, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 287 pages. Hardcover with no dust jacket. A very clean, unmarked copy with only minor edgewear. Holographic photograph on front cover. In 1984, photographer Peter Feldstein set out to photograph every single resident of his town, Oxford, Iowa (pop. 676). He converted an abandoned storefront on Main Street into a makeshift studio and posted fliers inviting people to stop by. At first they trickled in slowly, but in the end, nearly all of Oxford stood before Feldstein's lens. Twenty years later, Feldstein decided to do it again. Only this time he invited writer Stephen G. Bloom to join him, and together they went in search of the same Oxford residents Feldstein had originally shot two decades earlier. Some had moved. Most had stayed. Others had passed away. All were marked by the passage of time.
