São Paulo, 1994. 4to in wraps as issued. 57 pages, plus adds. Fine clean copy. Goran Petercol, born in Pula in 1949. "Petercol attended the Maritime School and, after graduation, served on ocean-going merchant navy ships. He graduated in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, in 1975, after which he spent two years in Ljubo Ivancic's Master Workshop. For years he has worked as an art editor of encyclopaedic and lexicographic publications and, until retirement, as a professor at the Academy of Applied Arts in Rijeka. During the 70s and the beginning of the 80s, Goran Petercol was closely associated with a group of conceptual artists who adopted analytical methods in structuring their works. His exploration of processuality, reach, stylization and various conceptual strategies has been continuous. From early on in his career, he has been treating light as a material. In addition, he uses light and shadow to lay claim to and reactivate a certain territory. He thereby directs the gaze of the viewer to what usually gets eluded – spatial relations, the combination of elements tied to a certain place, as well as memory as an idea of a past event which, according to the artist, is a part of life and art to a greater extent than we might be aware of."

Oxford University Press, 2000. Publishers hardcover, w jacket. XII, 227 pages. Very good clean copy. First edition. - "Attitudes in Britain to forests and trees are changing. Plantation forests - the product of the 'strategic reserve of timber' vision that held sway in the early twentieth century, and was turned into a physical reality by the Forestry Commission - are no longer fashionable. Today's forests are required to be sustainable, multi-purpose, and biologically diverse. They are expected to possess a 'spirit of place', be aesthetically pleasing, and help alleviate poverty and social exclusion in cities and remote rural areas. This book traces the changing fortune of forests and trees in Britain and people's changing relations with them. It investigates traditional woodland management practices, and considers how they came to be supplanted by scientific forestry knowledge and methods. It examines the development of the Forestry Commission and its body of foresters, looks at the symbolic function of forests and trees, and assesses the claim that present day forestry has become a postmodern phenomenon. A Critical Geography of Britain's State Forests will prove useful not only to foresters and nature conservationists, but to all those who are interested in how human beings socially and biophysically construct the environment, driven by a constant urge to find their place and meaning within it."

Spector Books, 2011. Tall 4to in original boards. 145 pages, illustrated with text in both German and English. Fine copy. 1. ed. With texts by Jan Wenzel, Denise van de Beek, Stephanie Tasch. By the end of 1979, Sir Anthony Frederick Blunt was no longer Sir. The reason can be traced back to Cambridge where he was a student – and a member of a secret circle of men who were young and ardent advocates of Communism. Later they became known as the Cambridge Five. The first of them was exposed in 1951, the second one a year later. By this time, Blunt was professor of Art History and Adviser for the Queen’s Pictures and Drawings. He was in charge of managing the Royal Family‘s collection of paintings. His focus was on French and Italian art, especially Poussin. In 1963, the third member of the Cambridge Five was uncovered. Like the others, he had sought refuge in Moscow. Blunt’s secret identity became known the year after, but it was not publicly revealed to avoid damage to the Queen. It took another 15 years for Margaret Thatcher to publicise it. Book designed by Joachim Bartsch.

London & New York: Thames & Hudson, 2001, Hardcover w jacket protected. 304 pages. Illustrated, 280 b/w illustrations. Fine copy. First edition, very attractive copy. "By the end of the 1960s a revolution had taken place in the perception and practice of art in Europe and North America. The cultural, social, and political context of this change reflected the desire for social transformation expressed in clashes with authority, such as the protests against the Vietnam War, that signaled a counterculture's defiance of established values. This book, the first detailed account of developments centered around the conceptual art movement, highlights the main issues underlying visually disparate works dating from the second half of the 1960s through the end of the 1970s. These works questioned the accepted categories of painting and sculpture by embracing a wealth of alternative media and procedures. Traditional two- and three-dimensional representations were supplanted by a variety of linguistic and photographic means, including installations that brought into play the importance of presentation and site. Through close examination of individual works and artists, Anne Rorimer demonstrates the pervading desire to redefine the characteristics of what was once accepted as truly visual in order to dispel earlier assumptions and offer other criteria for seeing. She surveys the most prominent names and movements in the art of the late 1960s and 1970s to form a coherent picture of an era of pioneering art that prefigured many of the themes and concerns of today. Artists whose works are discussed in depth include Robert Ryman, Gerhard Richter, Joseph Kosuth, Lawrence Weiner, Eleanor Antin, John Baldessari, Gilbert and George, Sol LeWitt, Adrian Piper, Bruce Nauman, Vito Acconci, Marcel Broodthaers, Robert Smithson, Daniel Buren, and Michael Asher. Forerunners of the period such as Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Piero Manzoni, Joseph Beuys, Allan Kaprow, and Fluxus are also included. "

University of Minnesota Press, 1998. 8vo. Paperback. XIII, 349 pp. With bw illustrations. Pencil notes in first part of book. Overall a very good copy. First edition, softcover: "An examination of the social and cultural significance of body art (...) The past few years have seen an explosion of interest in body art, in which the artist's body is integral to the work of art. With the revoking of NEA funding for such artists as Karen Finley, Tim Miller, and others, public awareness and media coverage of body-oriented performances have increased. Yet the roots of body art extend to the 1960s and before. In this definitive book, Amelia Jones explores body art projects from the 1960s and 1970s and relates their impact to the work of body artists active today, providing a new conceptual framework for defining postmodernism in the visual arts. Jones begins with a discussion of the shifting intellectual terrain of the 1950s and 1960s, focusing on the work of Ana Mendieta. Moving to an examination of the reception of Jackson Pollock's "performative" acts of painting, she argues that Pollock is a pivotal figure between modernism and postmodernism. The book continues with explorations of Vito Acconci and Hannah Wilke, whose practices exemplify a new kind of performance that arose in the late 1960s, one that represents a dramatic shift in the conception of the artistic subject. Jones then surveys the work of a younger generation of artists -- including Laurie Anderson, Orlan, Maureen Connor, Lyle Ashton Harris, Laura Aguilar, and Bob Flanagan -- whose recent work integrates technology and issues of identity to continue to expand the critique begun in earlier body art projects. Embracing an exhilarating mix of methodologies and perspectives (including feminism, queer theory, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and literary theory), this rigorous and elegantexamination of body art provides rich historical insight and essential context that rethinks the parameters of postmodern culture.ect continues to confirm the opinion of many that Jones is the most perceptive and original voice in contemporary art history, theory, and criticism to have emerged in a generation".
