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.

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.

Hier die erste Ausgabe des Theaterstücks mit der gedruckten Widmung an Erwin Piscator und Walter Mehring. - Zustand: Umschlag vorhanden, mit Läsuren und Randabrissen / First edition, 1st printing. Toller in the 1920's was Germany’s most popular playwright, a´Jewish writer who also lived the radical ideals he expressed in his plays and was imprisoned. In the spring of 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Bohemia and Moravia, the Spanish Republicans lost to Franco and, on May 22nd, in his room at the Mayflower Hotel in New York, the German Jewish writer and antifascist Ernst Toller, who was living in exile, took his life. Given to prescience, it’s possible he sensed what was coming. Toller was unique even in the highly political Weimar art scene, for living out his ideals, and their consequences, before his rise to fame as an artist. In 1919, the same year his first play debuted, he served six days as the president of the Bavarian Soviet Republic, an unrecognized socialist state in Munich. He was arrested and stood trial for high treason soon after. “He was very lucky to not be murdered by the paramilitary right wing as some of his comrades were,” said Drew Lichtenberg, a dramaturg who translated Toller’s 1927 play, Hoppla, We’re Alive! - Toller spent 1920 to 1925 imprisoned at a fortress in Niederschönenfeld. From there, he wrote expressionistic plays and poetry and became perhaps the most famous dramatist in Germany. Toller didn’t see his prison-penned work onstage until his release, but by then he’d been produced in other countries, too, emerging as the most internationally produced German playwright. Hoppla follows a group of revolutionaries jailed in the 1919 (the year of Toller’s arrest) and their lives eight years later (which was the present day at the time of the play’s premiere). Focusing on a protagonist, Karl Thomas, who was put away for years in a mental institution, the play drew from Toller’s experience with confinement and reflected his disillusionment with party doctrine after freedom. Thomas is a flawed hero, hewing to outdated ideals in the face of a modernizing Germany. - In 1927’s Hoppla, he depicted strains of antisemitism, and even has a character discussing a master race and forced euthanasia. “You feel this window cracks open where you can catch a kind of a whiff of history as it was,” said Lichtenberg.“He’s interested in the radicalization of young German people by the Nazis and he’s interested in how this cancerous ideology that goes back to the end of World War I among the right is festering and is becoming something warped and demonic.” But Toller was also skeptical of Communism. His refusal to fall into a party line led to a rift between him and the Marxist Piscator. Creative differences led each to staged different premieres of Hoppla, two days apart, with alternate endings. In a first, both endings are presented in Lichtenberg’s translation.Piscator’s Hoopla was a massive production that introduced many of the trademarks he’d go on to refine later in his career. The show made use of newsreel interludes, catching the attention of a young Bertolt Brecht, who would become Piscator’s dramaturg and major creative partner in developing a theory of Epic Theatre. With the Nazi rise to power, Toller escaped to London and then New York. He became a well-known antifascist lecturer, speaking on behalf of Spanish Republicans and raising money for their cause. In the spring of 1939, Piscator visited Toller in his Manhattan hotel. He was starting the Dramatic Workshop at the New School and wanted Toller to be on faculty. But Toller had sunk into a depression over the news of Franco’s victory and that his brother and sister were shipped to concentration camps. He hanged himself four months before the start of World War II.

MacGibbon and Kee, London, 1966. Publishers hardcover with very good caramel colored dustwrapper, not price-clipped and protected. 234 pages. Clean, very well preserved copy. First UK edition. " William Carlos Williams’ loving and groundbreaking book about American history - (...) a modern classic that went generally unnoticed during the years after its publication in 1925. Yet it is “a fundamental book, essential if one proposes to come to terms with American literature” (Times Literary Supplement). William Carlos Williams was not a historian, but he was fascinated by the texture of American history. Beginning with Columbus’s discovery of the Indies and moving on through Sir Walter Raleigh, Cotton Mather, Daniel Boone, George Washington, Ben Franklin, Aaron Burr, Edgar Allan Poe, and Abraham Lincoln, Williams found in the fabric of familiar episodes new shades of meaning and configurations of character. He brought a poetic imagination to the task of reconstructing a live tradition for Americans, and what results is one of the finest works of prose to have been penned by any writer of the twentieth century."

Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2008. Large quarto [9" x 11.75"] in stiff wraps. 252 pages, richly illustrated in color, text in English, DVD in pocket at rear. Front corners dented (see photos) else very good and clean copy. 1. ed. "James Castle (1899-1977) was an American artist born in Garden Valley, Idaho. James Castle was a self-taught artist who created drawings, assemblage and books throughout his lifetime. Castle was born profoundly deaf and for at least some time attended the Gooding School for the Deaf and the Blind in Gooding, Idaho, but it is not known to what extent he could read, write, or use sign language. Castle's artworks were created almost exclusively with found materials such as papers salvaged from common packaging and mail, in addition to food containers of all types. Castle mixed ink using soot from the woodstove with saliva and applied it with tools of his own making, including sharpened sticks, and other found objects. His drawings sensitively depict interiors, buildings, animals, landscapes and people based on his family's rural Garden Valley homestead as well as the architecture and landscapes of the places he lived and visited. His former home in Boise, Idaho is now a cultural center devoted to his work and includes an artist-in-residence venue."

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".

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."

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."

Allthough La Monte Young is one of the most important composers of the late twentieth century, he is also one of the most elusive. Generally recognized as the patriarch of the minimalist movement-Brian Eno once called him "the daddy of us all"-he nonetheless remains an enigma within the music world. Early in his career Young eschewed almost completely the conventional musical institutions of publishers, record labels, and venues, in order to create compositionscompletely unfettered by commercial concerns. At the same time, however, he exercised profound influence on such varied figures as Terry Riley, Cornelius Cardew, Andy Warhol, Yoko Ono, David Lang, Velvet Underground, and entire branches of electronica and drone music. For half a century he and hispartner and collaborator, Marian Zazeela, have worked in near-seclusion in their Tribeca loft, creating works that explore the furthest extremes of conceptual audacity, technical sophistication, acoustical complexity, and overt spirituality. Because Young gives interviews only rarely, and almost never grants access to his extensive archives, his importance as a composer has heretofore not been matched by a commensurate amount of scholarly scrutiny. Draw A Straight Line and Follow It: TheMusic and Mysticism of La Monte Young stands as the first monograph to examine Young's life and work in detail. The book is a culmination of a decade of research, during which the author gained rare access to the composer and his archives. Though loosely structured upon the chronology of the composer'scareer, the book takes a multi-disciplinary approach that combines biography, musicology, ethnomusicology, and music analysis, and illuminates such seemingly disparate aspects of Young's work as integral serialism and indeterminacy, Mormon esoterica and Vedic mysticism, and psychedelia and psychoacoustics.

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’)"
