Copenhagen: Nikolaj 2010. Tall 8vo in original wraps as issued. 160 pp. Richly illustrated. Light wear to cover. 1. ed. "This book presents a series of original queer theoretical and artistic contributions relating the archive and writing of history to gender and sexuality. What gets forgotten in history writing, what has been forgotten in archives, and what is excluded from cultural canons? The book investigates how experiences and histories not shared and lived by the majority are remembered and told in an alternative language. The book contains 4 essays and the works of 13 contemporary artists. In the article "Lost and Found: Queerying the Archive" the curators Jane Rowley and Louise Wolthers discuss the challenge posed to traditional archives and history writing by analysing the works of 13 contemporary artists represented in the book and eponymous exhibition. Analysing the strategies of speculation, flirtation and confrontation, art historian Mathias Danbolt then maps the role of the archive in the text "Touching History: Archival Relations in Queer Art and Theory". In her text "Photographing Objects: Art as Queer Archival Practice", the American cultural theorist Ann Cvetkovich discusses the role of art as an 'archive of feelings' based on the artists Tammy Rae Carland and Zoe Leonard. And in "The Art of Losing" the American literary theorist Heather Love emphasises the importance of the inclusion of loss, pain, isolation and loneliness in queer history writing -- experiences so often excluded from mainstream narratives of homosexual liberation. Beautifully bound in two sections, the book also presents works by the artists Elmgreen & Dragset (DK/NO), Tejal SHah (IN), Conny Karlsson (SE), Cecilia Barriga (CHI), Flemming Rolighed (DK), Aleesa Cohene (CA), Mary Coble (US), Kimberley Austin (US), Al Masson (DK/FR), Heidi LUnabba (FI) and Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay (CA). The publication is interspersed with excerpts from I Remember (1970) by the American poet Joe Brainard. Published to accompany the exhibition of the same name curated by Jane Rowley and Louise Wolthers at Nikolaj Copenhagen Center of Contemporary Art in Copenhagen and Bildmuseet in Umeaa, Sweden."

The book includes a CD with diverse samples from EMS productions.

Los Angeles: J. Paul Getty Museum, 2015. 8vo. Publishers hardcover, with protected dustjacket. 320 pages, with 198 color and 28 b/w illustrations. Fine clean attractive copy. 1st edition. "Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was one of the most influential artists of his day, producing work derived from “the most acute sensibility at grips with the most searching rationality” according to his friend, the writer Joachim Gasquet. Honoring tradition while also challenging it, his example made possible the advances of numerous younger artists such as Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Georges Braque, thereby paving the way for the emergence of modern art. Cézanne’s novel approach was evident as much in his drawings and watercolors as in his oil paintings. While the hundreds of drawings that the artist left behind in his sketchbooks confirm the centrality of this medium to his artistic practice, his watercolors from the 1890s were undertaken as works of art in their own right. These latter efforts—most of them landscapes and still lifes executed in Provence in the South of France—rank among the finest achievements in this difficult medium from any period. This beautifully illustrated volume traces the development of Cézanne’s style through his works on paper. Diverse in subject matter and execution, his drawings and watercolors include copies of other masters’ works, studies of his immediate family and their domestic surroundings, and preliminary ideas for finished compositions. They reveal Cézanne as someone deeply committed to devising a process for comprehending and recording the world as he saw it. The result is some of the most absorbing art ever created.

Iceland: Mumbling Eye, 2021. Small 8vo hardcover. (40) pages. Text in P-language, Icelandic and English. New copy. First edition, one of only 200 numbered and signed copies. Magnús Pálsson is one of Iceland’s premier artists; a national treasure. In 1978 he was instrumental in founding The Living Art Museum (Nýló). Sculptor, sound poet, performer and inspirational teacher, Magnús comes from a strong Fluxus background, where he and his clan forged the beginnings of conceptualism and concrete poetry. As a sculptor, Magnús dealt with enigma and touch by making casts of negative spaces and trapping ephemeral moments in solidifying plaster. His signature piece from that time is a cast of the space between the three wheels of a Sikorsky helicopter and its landing field, seconds before it actually touches down. Made in 1976, this work was exhibited in Venice in 1980 when Magnús represented Iceland at the 37th Biennale. Gradually he moved away from solid material into the more fluid realm of sound and action where recently he has made works for choirs, JCB earth diggers, ghosts and children.

First edition - SIGNED IN HAND WITH PENCIL TO INNERCOVER by the artist. -"A central work in the artist’s conception of the two exhibitions, “Les Maquettes en blanc (1995-2009)” presents all of Starling’s publications to date in one vitrine and their corresponding blank dummies in a second vitrine next to it. As Starling writes, this piece “mimics a series of other physical and intellectual journeys to be travelled in the exhibitions.” It seemed the logical starting point for the design of the catalog. THEREHERETHENTHERE is made of two volumes, one of which is the blank version of the other one, constituting its “dummy.” The other volume, however, simulates through offset printing the beige color and weave texture of the dummy’s cover and the white sticker on it presenting the paper stock information. These two volumes are held together with a red paper band showing the artist’s name, the title, the publishers’ logos, the bar code, and price. The size of this pair of books is an average calculated from all the books shown in “Les Maquettes en blanc.” Taking the artist’s idea of duality and transition further, the left-hand pages, set in Helvetica, constitute the French version of the book while the right-hand pages, set in Times, constitute the English version. The works in the two exhibitions are represented by onsite installation views, while all other works referred to in the essay are shown through their reproduction in previous publications. Copies of those publications were opened to the appropriate pages and scanned and reproduced in the present catalog on a one-to-one scale. The corresponding blank pages of those books’ dummies are reproduced in the same order with the exact same framing in the second half of the book. The different designers who worked on Simon Starling’s various publications are credited in the captions and bibliography. Text: David Julie, Patron Sandra et al.

London: Tate Publishing, 2014. Large tall 4to in wraps, as issued. 196 pages, richly color illustrated. Text in English. Light shelfwear else clean and well preserved near fine copy. First edition. Text by Leontine Coelewij, Colm Toibin. Interview by Theodora Vischer. "Marlene Dumas is one of the most prominent and influential painters working today. In an era dominated by the mass media and a proliferation of images, her work is a testament to the meaning and potency of painting. Dumas draws on her expansive visual archive and the nuances of language to create intense, psychologically charged works which explore themes such as sexuality, love, death, and guilt, often referencing art history and current affairs. Her paintings and drawings are characterized by their extraordinary expressiveness and sometimes controversial subject matter. This fully illustrated exhibition catalogue accompanies a major exhibition at the Tate Modern, the Stedelijk Museum, and the Fondation Beyeler. Surveying the artist’s oeuvre from the mid-70s to the present, it features over 100 of her most important paintings and drawings alongside lesser-known works from the early period of her career. The Image as Burden also includes a new interview with the artist; extracts from previously published but lesser-known texts (some available in English for the first time); and a new short story from prize-winning author Colm Tóibín written in response to the paintings. Essays and texts from a wide range of contributors examine the key themes and motifs in her work and reflect on Dumas’s entire career."
