The very rare original 1. printing. Important AARHUSRAPPORT - rare documentations from the fluxus art scene in Denmark, documenting a number of happenings, exhibitions and concerts taking place in and around Aarhus during the years 1961-1969: "In June 1969, Danish composer and Fluxus artist Eric Andersen presented an interactive artwork called By som værk (City as work) that connected different places in Aarhus in a complex composition through posters mounted on billboard triangles on the city’s squares and in bus stops, communication over walkie talkies and analogue cameras to document which places had been visited. The posters on billboard triangles simultaneously gave the audience instructions for their tour through the city and served as a log of which instructions had been carried out. This conceptual framework for a mapping of Aarhus resulted in an on-going and choreographed, but not planned or scheduled, performance as well as a series of photographs and inscriptions on the posters made by people following the instructions of the work as it guided them through the city. The composition was a way to connect people in different places, sharing information over the walkie-talkie with others on the same channel, but also a way to connect places with places, transferring a mark from one location to another. Eric Andersen writes about the piece, ‘A city is an instrument that doesn’t always have to play the same phrases. City as Work involved the entire city as an interactive artwork, through which visitors and local population could enjoy quite different urban routes and activities than the common and worn out ones. Printed on the inside covers of the original Århus Rapport are a number of photographs from Andersen’s project, contrasted by a black/white topographic map of the city of Aarhus on its outside. In other words, the map and images of specific sites of Aarhus are what holds together the different artistic practices documented inside the Rapport. It is an example of the avantgarde ‘politics of the ultra-local,’" (Lars Bang Larsen).

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.

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".
