New Haven & London: Yale University Press with Castelli Gallery New York, 2013. Heavy 4to hardcover. 320 pages, richly illustrated. Fine copy. First edition. - "Robert Morris was one of the central figures of Minimalism. Through both his own sculptures of the 1960s and theoretical writings, Morris set forth a vision of art pared down to simple geometric shapes stripped of metaphorical associations, and focused on the artwork's interaction with the viewer. However, in contrast to fellow Minimalists Donald Judd and Carl Andre, Morris had a strikingly diverse range that extended well beyond the Minimalist ethos and was at the forefront of other contemporary American art movements as well, most notably, Process art and Land art. Through both his artwork and his critical writings, Morris explored new notions of chance, temporality, and ephemerality."

Vienna & Leipzig: Braumüller, 1918. Original hardcover. XXIII, 599 pp. Binding slightly rubbed only. Name to front pastedown else clean and overall a very good copy. First edition, 17th printing in the original publishers hardcover, with frontispiece photo. Otto Weininger was a homosexual Jewish philosopher who hated women, Jews and his own homosexuality. In Vienna in 1903, shortly after converting to Christianity, he killed himself at the age of 23 in the room where Beethoven died. "The strange and troubled works by Otto Weininger’s had a considerable impact on the work of others in the day, most notably on the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein. Born in 1880, Weininger was more celebrated in his death than in his work. On 4 October 1903 he committed suicide. His death prompted a romantic attitude to suicide in the young Viennese men of his generation. His work Sex and Character had been published that year, and, unlike his death, it had not been well-received. Claiming that contemporary society was in a state of decay, his argument revolved around the polarization of masculine and feminine qualities. All positive achievements were associated with the masculine, all destructive ideas with the feminine. The Aryan race were equated with the masculine, and thus with the positive aspects of contemporary society; the Jewish race was characterized by the feminine, and thus associated with the negative. His death came to be seen as the logical outcome of these ideas, for he was both a Jew and a homosexual (the latter being equatable in Weininger’s terms with a ‘feminized man’)"

Paris: Galerie Maria Wettergren, 2022. 8vo in wraps as issued. 184 pages. Richly illustrated. New, unopened copy. "Creating pieces with an equal focus on sculptural and functional qualities, Rasmus Fenhann works almost exclusively with wood, which he carefully selects for each project. His process combines traditional and sometimes near-forgotten craft techniques with advanced technology and tooling – including CAD sketching, visualisation and processing. Fenhann’s main source of inspiration is traditional Japanese woodwork and Danish cabinetmaking, with his works often incorporating personal interpretations of select aspects of these craft traditions. His work is also stimulated by nature and the mathematical properties of natural forms – universal forms unaffected by human control. Today he is considered one of the most important Scandinavian designers within the field of hand-crafted collectible design."

DOM Publishers, 2015. 8vo in wraps as issued. 584 pages. As new copy, unopened. "The ideas of architects are usually conveyed by their buildings. Vladimir Belogolovsky takes a different approach in his new work. The New York-based author gives a detailed picture of contemporary architects – through words. The publication consisting of almost six hundred pages presents interviews with thirty architects, which Belogolovsky conducted in the framework of his long-term, international activities as a curator and author. The names of the interviewees read like a “Who-is-Who” of modern architecture. The fame surrounding these avant-garde masters has eclipsed merely professional circles and reached the conscience of the wide general public. Their iconic work has attracted so much attention in recent years in the mass media that it is often referred to as “Starchitecture." Interviews with: David Adjaye, Will Alsop, Alejandro Aravena, Shigeru Ban, Elizabeth Diller, Winka Dubbeldam, Peter Eisenman, Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, Steven Holl, Bjarke Ingels, Kengo Kuma, Daniel Libeskind, Jürgen Mayer H., Giancarlo Mazzanti, Richard Meier, Paulo Mendes da Rocha, Glenn Murcutt, Gregg Pasquarelli, Joshua Prince-Ramus, Wolf Prix, Kevin Roche, Robert Stern, Sergei Tchoban and Sergey Kuznetsov, Bernard Tschumi, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, Rafael Viñoly, Alexandro Zaera-Polo.

Riehen & Basel, Fondation Baeyeler. 2022. Heavy thick 4to in wraps as issued. 263 pages, illustrated. English text. Fine and unused copy. First edition. "Piet Mondrian had a decisive influence on the development of painting from figuration to abstraction. On the occasion of his 150th birthday, Mondrian Evolution is dedicated to his multifaceted work and artistic development. Initially working in the tradition of late-nineteenth century Dutch landscape painting, Symbolism and Cubism subsequently took on great significance for him. It was not until the early 1920s that the artist focused on a wholly non-representational pictorial vocabulary, concentrated on the rectangular arrangement of black lines with surfaces in white and the primary colors blue, red, and yellow. In separate chapters, this path is traced through motifs such as windmills, dunes, the sea, farms reflected in the water, and plants in various forms of abstraction".

Intellect Books 2017. 8vo in wraps as issued. 344 pp. Fine clean copy. The culture wars - intertwining art, culture and politics - have sparked prominent political debates across the globe for many years, but particularly in Europe and America since 2001. Focusing specifically on the experience of Denmark during this period, Culture War aims to analyse and understand the rise of right-wing nationalism in Europe as part of the globalisation and mediatisation of the modern nation state and the culture war and affective politics arising from it. This culture war provides an example of an affective cultural politics in which institutional structures become entwined with media representations, events and patterns of belonging. Employing a detailed and critically reflective argument covering social media, television, political campaigns, advertising and 'artivism,' Camilla Mohring Reestorff refuses the traditional distinction between the world of visual culture and the political domain, and she provides multiple tools for understanding the dynamics of contemporary affective cultural politics in a highly mediatised environment.

Well preserved copy. First limited edition, published as part of the series "Collana cinematografica", 34.i. Numbered copy (# 153). Includes the original screenplay in Italian, as well as essays Visconti, Bianchi et al. "Sandra" (Italian: Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa, lit. 'Glimmering stars of the Great Bear') is a 1965 drama film directed and co-written by Luchino Visconti, and starring Claudia Cardinale, Jean Sorel, and Michael Craig. A modern-day retelling of the Electra story, the film centers on the incestuous relationship between a young Italian woman (Cardinale) and her brother (Sorel), on her return to their ancestral home of Volterra. It premiered at the 26th Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Golden Lion. "As ever with Visconti, he is ambivalently drawn to the decadent society he is ostensibly criticising; and Armando Nannuzzi's camera lovingly caresses the creaking old mansion, set in a landscape of crumbling ruins, where the incestuous siblings determine to wreak revenge on the mother (Bell) and stepfather (Ricci) who supposedly denounced their father. The title, culled from the poem "Le ricordanze" by Giacomo Leopardi, could be translated as 'Glimmering stars of the Great Bear', and has a strong resonance with the movie's plot".

Paraguay Press, 2009. 4to in wraps as issued. 40 pages. Fine copy. 1. ed. Often "when artist/critic/educator/writer Joe Scanlan was reading a lot of seminal economic texts, he noticed that a strange thing kept happening: where the original authors were talking about absentee ownership, stagnating markets, colonialism and government subsidies, Scanlan heard them talking about artists’ neighborhoods, Chelsea galleries, tae kwon do lessons, and Jack Kerouac. Fascinated with these recurrent, uncontrollable synapses, Scanlan rewrote the texts as he heard them in his head and color-coded each alteration. Produced for his 2009 exhibition at castillo/corrales in Paris, Joe Scanlan’s Red Flags consists of four essays that the artist has refracted from original texts by Thorstein Veblen, Joseph Schumpeter, Milton Friedman, and Edward Said. Elegantly designed by Francesca Grassi, the book’s text is laid out in horizontal segments that utilize Scanlan’s color coding method to designate which portions of text have been moved, altered, rewritten, added, or left intact."

Thames & Hudson Ltd, 2021. Hardcover, w jacket. VII, 408 pages. With illustrations. Fine clean copy. First edition. "artist and feminist icon Judy Chicago reflects on her extraordinary life and career. Judy Chicago is America’s most dynamic living artist. Her works comprise a dizzying array of media from performance and installation to the glittering table laid for thirty-nine iconic women in The Dinner Party (now permanently housed at the Brooklyn Museum), the groundbreaking Birth Project, and the meticulously researched Holocaust Project. She designed the monumental installation for Dior’s 2020 Paris couture show and, in 2019, established the Judy Chicago Portal, which will help to accomplish her lifelong goal of overcoming the erasure that has eclipsed the achievements of so many women. The Flowering is her vivid and revealing autobiography, fully illustrated with photographs of her work, as well as never-before-published personal images and a foreword by Gloria Steinem. Chicago has revised and updated her earlier, classic works with previously untold stories, fresh insights, and an extensive afterword covering the last twenty years. This powerful narrative weaves together the stories behind some of Chicago’s most significant artworks and her journey as a woman artist with the chronicles of her personal relationships and her understanding, from decades of experience and extensive research, of how misogyny, racism, and other prejudices intersect to erase the legacies of artists who are not white and male while dismissing the suffering of millions of creatures who share the planet."
