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."

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."

Sweden: OEI Editör, 2018. Tall large and heavy lex 8vo in wraps as issued. 640 pages, richly illustrated. Text in English. Light shelfwear to cover, else clean and fine, unread copy. First edition, 1st printing. - Special issue of OEI magazine taking its starting point in Ernesto de Sousa’s explosive activities as filmmaker, photographer, curator, critic, writer, folk art researcher, multimedia artist etc. in the Portuguese 1960s onwards. Ernesto de Sousa (Lisbon, 1921–1988) was one of the most complex and active figures of his time, a prolific multidisciplinary artist and an avid producer of synergies between generations of artists from both the first and the second half of the 20th century. Defending an experimental and free artistic expression, he dedicated himself to the study, promotion and practice of the arts, as well as to curatorship, critique and essay writing, photography, cinema and theater. During the 1960s he got in touch with the Fluxus movement and with the European neo-avant-garde, becoming friends with Robert Filliou and Wolf Vostell. This contact was significant to his recast of art as an experimental and participatory "open work", of which are examples the theatrical exercise Nós Não Estamos Algures (1969), the expanded film Almada, Um Nome de Guerra (1969-1972) and the mixed media Luíz Vaz 73, all collaborative pieces authored by him. During this decade and up until the 1980s, he organized courses, conferences and exhibitions on experimental film, video art, performance and happening, while promoting connections between the international neo-avant-garde and the Portuguese context. Ernesto de Sousa anticipated the Carnation Revolution (April 25th, 1974) and countered Portugal's peripheral position in Europe when he proposed to celebrate Robert Filliou's Anniversary of Art (Círculo de Artes Plásticas de Coimbra, 1974). The exhibition "Alternativa Zero" (Galeria Nacional de Arte Moderna, Lisbon, 1977) synthesized his project of creating a Portuguese avant-garde in aesthetic and ideologic dialogue with its international counterparts. Being active in almost every­thing that belongs to the domain of the arts in the broadest sense of the word, Ernesto de Sousa (1921-1988) adopted the term “aesthetic operator” to be used instead of the word “artist” – “for the simple reason that ‘artist’ designates a kind of sociolo­gical position and not a philosophical attitude towards the world” (José Miranda Justo). As a “source of enthusiasm, dynamism and motivation” (Isabel Alves), Ernesto de Sousa created new connections between all sorts of disciplines, forms, materials and social contexts. In its 640 page long textual and visual montage, including a series of new essays and translations of key essays, as well as a lot of archival material, OEI #80-81 also looks at the practices of a number of De Sousa’s fellow “aesthetic operators” (Alberto Carneiro, Túlia Saldanha, Álvaro Lapa, Fernando Calhau, Lourdes Castro, Ana Vieira, Ana Hatherly, E.M. de Melo e Castro, António Barros…). At the same time, OEI #80-81 encompasses texts on magazines such as Poesia Experimental, Operação, Nova, A Urtiga, and Alternativa; and works by artists from younger generations such as Isabel Carvalho, Paulo Mendes and Mariana Silva.

Hatje Cantz, 2010. 4to hardcover, no jacket as issued. 112 pages, richly illustrated. Text (s) in both German and Emglish by Nikola Dietrich, Rebekka Ladewig, Andrea Kroksnes. Fine copy. 1st edition. Inscribed by the artist to free front endpaper to Danish gallery owner Peter Amby. "The artistic method of Danish artist Kirstine Roepstorff is based primarily on the principle of collage. Her works—which range from small, intimate works on paper to large-scale, theatrical installations—draw on a wide spectrum of source material and systems of reference. Roepstorff uses media such asArtists books, ART felt, fabric, sequins, and glass beads, and her motifs stem from historical and contemporary image material from the areas of politics and advertising. She describes her technique as a process of “appropriarranging”: “I use the method of collage to appropriate and rearrange the world.” Besides a series of collages, the publication contains a kind of personal Wunderkammer created by the artist to showcase an eclectic variety of artifacts, objets d’art, and curiosities selected from various collections."

"In the 1950s, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers introduced "hard bop," a blend of bebop, blues, gospel, and Latin music that has defined jazz mainstream ever since. Although Blakey?s influence as a drummer and bandleader was enormous, his greatest contribution may have been as a mentor to younger musicians such as Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Jackie McLean, and Wynton Marsalis. Leslie Gourse chronicles Blakey?s colorful life and career, from his hardscrabble childhood in Pittsburg to his final years as an international jazz icon."

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".
