"Aase Texmon Rygh introduced modern abstract sculpture into the Norwegian art scene as early as 1952. Since then she has uncompromisingly pursued the idea of abstraction and reduction, and has shown an unflagging commitment to the essence of sculpture and purity of form, as well as a firm belief in the integrity of the three-dimensional object. The catalogue presents, as did the exhibition, the broad range of the artist's production from the 1950s to the present. In addition to two articles the catalogue includes a large number of pictures and a wealth of documentation material."

Duke University Press, 1999. XII, 414 pages. With bw illustraions. Fine clean copy.  First edition. - In "The Seventies Now" Stephen Paul Miller (is) examining a wide range of political and cultural phenomena—from the long shadow cast by Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal to Andy Warhol and the disco scene—identifying in these phenomena a pivotal yet previously unidentified social trend, the movement from institutionalized external surveillance to the widespread internalization of such practices. The concept of surveillance and its attendant social ramifications have been powerful agents in U.S. culture for many decades, but in describing how during the 1970s Americans learned to “survey” themselves, Miller shines surprising new light on such subjects as the women's movement, voting rights enforcement, the Ford presidency, and environmental legislation. He illuminates the significance of what he terms “microperiods” and analyzes relevant themes in many of the decade's major films—such as The Deer Hunter, Network, Jaws, Star Wars, and Apocalypse Now—and in the literature of writers including John Ashbery, Toni Morrison, Adrienne Rich, and Sam Shepard. In discussing the reverberations of the 1969 Stonewall riots, technological innovations, the philosophy of Michel Foucault (...).

New York: Grove Press / Bookthrift reprint (1963). Heavy hardcover, with worn jacket. XVIII, 983 pp. Foxing to endpapers and some wavyness to first pages else overall a solid and clean copy. Charming 1960's copy with jacket design by Roy Kuhlman. Komplet udgave af Frank Harris' erindringsværk 'My Life and Loves'. Værket var længe forbudt og skandaleombrust pga. de 'pornografiske' passager, hvor Harris beskriver sine elskerinder's og ikke mindst sine egne færdigheder som elsker. Reelt blev værket nok mest tilbageholdt pga. de skånselsløse beskrivelser af navngivne personer i den engelske overklasse, deres hor, stupiditet og uvidenhed. I dag står værket som et vigtigt og velskrevet erindringsværk fra det tidlige 20. århundrede.

Forlaget Palomar, 2020. 337 pp. Hft. 1. oplag. Pænt eksemplar. "Gennem min barndom var jeg den eneste der vidste at hun skrev på et eller andet, og jeg gættede på at det var erindringer. Men det fortsatte år efter år, til tider kunne der gå flere måneder hvor jeg ikke så hende sætte sig ved bordet og åbne hæftet; og jeg havde allerede vænnet mig til at hendes skriveri var uendeligt, antog at det var en slags indre samtale der ikke var beregnet for en udenforstående læser. I slutningen af firserne blev bedstemor så syg, den ene lidelse afløste den anden, og i nogle år forsvandt hæftet med hendes manuskript et eller andet sted. Og det forsvandt tilsvarende fra mine tanker, jeg glemte det med den forhastede lethed hos teenageren der sluger dagene, den ene efter den anden; at tænke på manuskriptet var som trække et illusorisk, helt ubegrundet håb i langdrag.” Rusland august 1991: Et kup får landet til at vakle, Gorbatjov bliver afsat, Jeltsin overtager magten, og på afstand aner man allerede omridset af Putin. Landet falder fra hinanden. Den ene halvdel sælger råstoffer og kampvogne og bliver mangemillionærer, den anden halvdel synker ned i bitter armod. I dette klima af total omkalfatring finder jegfortælleren sin bedstemors dagbog og erkender at tavsheden om fortiden må brydes hvis Rusland skal have en fremtid. En højaktuel og spændende roman om det land der indtil for få år siden var en verdensmagt. ”Arvtager efter Solsjenitsyn forvandler nutidig russisk depression til en nærmest magisk læseoplevelse".

Spector Books for HKW, 2015. Tall slim 8vo in wraps as issued. 218 pages. Text in English. Fine copy. 1st edition. "Ape Culture" traces the long cultural and scientific obsession with humanity’s closest relatives. In the Western historical representations of modernity, depictions of apes were traditionally used to show the absence of culture. Standing as a liminal figure separating humans and animals, the ape has, since ancient times, played a central role in the narrative of civilisational progress. This book, which appears in conjunction with the exhibition of the same nameseeks, however, to go beyond the mere examination of apes as signifiers of difference. The juxtaposition of artworks with documents taken from popular culture and the history of primatology gives the reader an insight into what the science historian Donna Haraway has termed the »primate order« — a hall of mirrors reflecting the scientific and cultural projections that turned the ape from an instrument of humanity’s self-definition into an integral element in testing out the possibility of reconstructing human »nature«. »Ape Culture« was shown at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt 2015.

Oxford University Press, 2007 (Atlantic Books 2005). Publishers hardcover, w jacket. VIII, 373 pp. Fine clean copy. A "biography-cum-discography that focuses in turn on fourteen major albums recorded by Miles Davis, using them as a jumping off point for an illuminating discussion of the turbulent life and work of the "Evil Genius of Jazz." Richard Cook, a veteran writer respected throughout the jazz world, looks at such landmark recordings as Birth of the Cool, Miles Ahead, Kind of Blue, The Complete Live at The Plugged Nickel, In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew, and Live at Montreux. Each of these recordings is considered in detail, illuminating their contribution to Davis's development as instrumentalist, group leader, and composer. But Cook goes well beyond these fourteen albums, evaluating all the trumpeter's recordings (official and bootleg), and relating them to events in Miles's life as well as to wider currents in contemporary music."

"In PLEASE BE HERE NOW, Dwelling #1: The Body, the main theme of exploration was the performers own, female body – as private, public and artistic material. Nana Francisca Schottländer lived for three days and nights, 72 hours, in the shop window of Nørgaard Store in central Copenhagen, where she performed everyday chores like sleeping, reading, eating, drinking, thinking – being. While being there she challenged the spectator’s gaze by looking as much at the people passing by and stopping, as they looked at her. The piece created a platform for shared reflections and encounters and was visited by people of all ethnicities, ages, social groups and background at all times of the day and night. During her stay, invited guests joined her in her dwelling to share their thoughts on the body as professional and personal point of reference." - The book incluides an interview by Michael Thouber, head of Kunsthal Charlottenborg with Nana Francisca Schottländer and Mads Nørgaard about the piece, an introduction by Torben Sangild and photos by Casper Sejersen, Alexandra Buhl, David Morrow and Georg Jagunov. Excerpts from the text generated throughout the piece are also included. Each book is numbered by hand and signed by the artist (# 364). 

Toronto: Art Gallery of York University, 2007. 8vo. Original pictorial hardcover. 232 pages, illustrated with coloured and b&w photos. Fine and clean copy. 1. ed. "Exceptionally well designed, engaging and mysterious, Disassembling the Archive is a quasi-fictional correspondence with the Amsterdam-based, Indonesia-born artist Fiona Tan. It departs from interpretations of postcolonial identity issues in Tan's work to trace the implications of the archival housing of photographs and moving images. By way of a detour through Siegfried Kracrauer's writing on photography and Jacques Derrida's writing on the Freudian impression, we witness (...) the disintegrative and destructive effect of photography on the archive. This volume is printed on several papers and features full bleed video stills, mesmerizing archival portraits of young Asian girls in identical uniforms and a long text in the form of philosophical letters from Philip Monk--who curated the 2006 exhibition at Toronto's Art Gallery of York University on which this volume is based."
