First edition. Elke Krystufek, Dorit Margreiter and Franziska & Lois Weinberger. All have developed new works for the Austrian pavilion. Each of these artistic positions deals with a specific theme, and while their art differs greatly, they all share a structural approach, which critically questions the orders determining social aspects of our lives, our culture and politics. Elke Krystufek condenses several themes in her painting installation TABOU TABOO (2009): Polynesia, the mythical place as it was conceived and conveyed in Modern European art, and the issue of a specifically “female gaze”. The title TABOU TABOO is a reference to the film “Tabu” by F. W. Murnau and further to Sigmund Freud’s “Totem und Tabu”. Krystufek replaces the word “Austria” on the outside of the pavilion with the word “Tabu”, and thus attacks the identity of the building. Dorit Margreiter‘s work Pavilion (2009) is a film dealing with the place of its production and its mis-en-scène: the pavilion constructed by Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann, opened 1934 in the Giardini of Venice. Margreiter explores the pavilion as an utopian space of art, forming an architectural sculpture in itself. Pavilion is a grainy black-and-white film with a surreal quality. Its staged rendition at the actual site mirrors the pavilion in its space and in time, it is a projection of itself onto itself. Laubreise (2008/09) by Franziska & Lois Weinberger is an outside piece, an accessible architectural sctructure located between pavilion and canal which houses an object inside. Laubreise as well as other works by F. & L. Weinberger deal with the relationship between “nature” and “culture”; their work is about the subtle „peripheries of perception” of an “invisible nature / spiritual nature” (L. Weinberger). Inside the pavilion an installation gives insight into Weinberger’s work from 1976 until today.

Moderna Museet, 1969 (1968). 4to. Original wrappers as issued. (638 pp.). Illustrated throughout with photos by Billy Name and Stephen Eric Shore among others. Very worn copy but complete. First edition, second printing, acceptable reference copy of the famous Warhol Stockholm-catalog - this most iconic of artists books. The catalogue for Warhol's first major European retrospective. Illustrated card covers, with a design after Warhol's 'Flowers' silk-screen. 614 black-and-white reproductions, divided into three sections: black-and-white reproductions of Warhol's work, followed by two sections of photographs of Warhol and his associates by Billy Name and Stephen Shore. "“As soon as the Factory opened, it became a hyperactive place. People began flocking there in droves for parties, to interview Andy, to take pictures, to make films, to become a part of it... Billy [Name] ran it like a theatre, vacuuming up after each performance and continually repainting the tinfoiling. He also became the Factory’s official recorder when Andy gave him his 35-mm camera and Billy began taking great photographs of the action, which he developed in an impromptu darkroom converted from one of the toilets. These photographs, as collected in the 1968 Moderna Muséet catalogue of Warhol’s first European retrospective in Stockholm, constitute the best visual documentary of the Silver Factory.” -Voctor Bockris, Warhol: The Biography. Warhol’s Moderna Muséet catalog “is a fine example of the catalogue-as-artist's-book, a form that ostensibly began with the Dadaists and Surrealists, and is produced with some of the roughest reproductions ever seen, which are entirely appropriate, and supplemented by a long section of Factory snapshots by Billy Name. The genre was revitalized by the Pop movement, and Warhol in particular, which demonstrates his position as a latter-day Dadaist. The Moderna Museet publication especially had a great influence upon Japanese photography in the late 1960s and 1970s, particularly the photobooks of the Provoke era” (Parr and Badger, Vol II). Published first by Moderna Muséet, Sweden, in 1968 as an exhibition catalogue for the show "Andy Warhol" at the Moderna Muséet in Stockholm, February - March, 1968, this the second printing, identical to the first.
