Copenhagen: SMK - 2013. 8vo in stapled wraps as issued. 30 pages. Text in English and Danish. Illustrated. Fine copy. 1. ed. "What are quirky salt and pepper shakers doing next to some of the main masterpieces of art history? Haim Steinbach is deeply interested in objects and how they are displayed. In this exhibition he challenged our perception of the art museum as an institution by showing important works of art side by side with small everyday objects. In his works Haim Steinbach arranges objects from all sorts of contexts on shelves and walls and in display units. In fact we all collect things and place them next to each other – on a windowsill, the kitchen worktop, or a bathroom shelf. On a previous occasion Steinbach has explained that he regards the act of collecting and displaying things as a fundamental human practice: With my work, the bottom line is that any time you set an object next to another object you´re involved in a communicative, social activity. Haim Steinbach includes works of art from different eras and genres in his exhibition, presenting them in a way that is completely different from the usual approach taken by museums, which typically display art in accordance with chronological, thematic, or monographic principles. By making a break with those principles Steinbach creates a whole new contex".

Suhrkamp Verlag, 1994. Gebunden, mit OU. 501 Seiten. Gut erhalten. Zeitungsartikel beigefügt. First edition. Adorno schreibt "Alle Verdinglichung ist ein Vergessen: Objekte werden dinghaft im Augenblick, wo sie festgehalten sind, ohne in allen ihren Stücken aktuell gegenwärtig zu sein: wo etwas von ihnen vergessen ist.« Kaum eine bessere Charakterisierung als dieser Satz aus Adornos Brief vom 29. Februar 1940 an Walter Benjamin ließe sich denken, um darzutun, worin die entscheidende Differenz zwischen den Diskussionen, die in der Kritischen Theorie der dreißiger Jahre geführt wurden, und der Darstellung liegt, die die Ergebnisse jener Diskussionen heutzutage in der Sekundärliteratur zusammenfaßt. Es liegen Welten zwischen der Kritik, die Adorno und Benjamin wechselseitig an ihren Arbeiten während der Emigration übten, und der geronnenen Gestalt, in der diese zentralen Arbeiten von den Nachgeborenen, zerstückelt und ungeschickt wieder zusammengeklebt, rezipiert und ›tradiert‹ werden. - Galt ein beträchtlicher Teil der Korrespondenz Benjamins Fragment gebliebenem »Passagen-Werk«, welches das 19. Jahrhundert geschichtsphilosophisch zu entschlüsseln sich vorgenommen hatte, und der ›Abschlagszahlung‹ darauf, dem Baudelaire-Aufsatz für die »Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung«, so kreisen die Briefe insgesamt, die Benjamin und Adorno vor allem in der Emigration, ab 1934, wechselten, um die verbindliche theoretische Darstellung jener grundlegenden Erfahrungen der bürgerlichen Kultur, die mit dem Faschismus unwiederbringlich verlorengingen und deren Vergessen gerade nicht das glückliche Ballastabwerfen des Wanderers war, der das Ziel in erreichbarer Ferne vor sich liegen sieht. Der Briefwechsel läßt ermessen, welche Bedeutung die praktische und geistige Solidarität hatte, die Adorno und Benjamin voneinander erfuhren, als sie in intellektueller Isolierung lebten. Die in der akademischen Welt abhanden gekommene Gelehrtenrepublik lebte fort in denen, die aller akademischen Sekurität entbehren mußten und die darum aller der Sache äußerlichen Konvention sich entschlagen durften. Den empirischen Niederschlag des Vorrangs der Sache in der Person beschrieb Adorno 1965: »In sich und seinem Verhältnis zu anderen setzte er rückhaltlos den Primat des Geistes durch, der anstelle von Unmittelbarkeit sein Unmittelbares wurde.«

Thames & Hudson / D. A. P. 2014. Heavy hardcover. 256 pages. Illustrated. Fine copy. " the first book to explore the radical shifts that have taken place in the practice of curating contemporary art over the last twenty years. Tracing a history of the field through its most innovative shows, renowned curator Jens Hoffmann selects the fifty exhibitions that have most significantly shaped the practice of both artists and exhibition curators. The book's nine thematic sections focus on a huge variety of exhibitions, including those that have explored public space; reflected on globalization; engaged audiences in revolutionary ways; and brought into the gallery other disciplines such as theatre and architecture. Short texts introduce and place each exhibition in context, accompanied by installation photographs and factual data about the participating artists, venues, dates, curators and publications, and many feature quotations from the originating curators exploring the premise of the show. The book concludes with a roundtable discussion by some of today's leading curators".

Yale University Press, 1997. Square 8vo in publishers hardcover, with jacket. 180 pages, richly illustrated. Dustjacket spine is sunned else a clean and very well preserved fine copy. First edition. "Le Corbusier, the most influential architect of the twentieth century, died in 1965 only weeks after completing Mise au point, his last opus in the form of antobiographical reflections. Published posthumously, Mise au point is a curious and cryptic text, yet it sheds an important light on the great artist’s mind and temperament. This book is the first English translation of Mise au point, the first illustrated critical bilingual edition, and the first attempt to integrate this document into Le Corbusier’s life as a whole, especially its final embittered years. In an insightful introduction and in annotations, Ivan Zaknic shows how the themes of the text echo the contradictions of Le Corbusier’s personality: determined to rebuke society and yet constantly courting its approval; devoted to serving the public and yet returning again and again to a solitary monastic ideal; distrusting professional institutions, the academy, and the government and yet stung by their willingness to pass him by. Zaknic links the themes of this text with Le Corbusier’s passion for certain literary works, especially Don Quixote, and emphasizes the architect’s many philosophical formulas for coming to terms with death—first that of his beloved wife and then his own. Illustrated with photos and drawings, many of which appear here for the first time, and also including a revealing interview granted by Le Corbusier in the final months of his life, the volume will be welcomed by all students of Le Corbusier’s art, architecture, and urban planning, as well as by those interested in modernism and twentieth-century culture."
