Illus. throughout and first & last leaves stamped. Unpaginated. 8vo, printed wrappers, staple-bound. Williamstown, MA: Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute Library, May 1984. An uncommon exhibition catalogue, conceived and designed by Craig Dennis, and the books were selected by Kira Obolensky. "Paginations demonstrates the wide diversity of theme and format one finds in bookworks. In addition, the selections represent existing categories for contemporary bookworks (e.g. concrete poetry, political and feminist expression, the flip book, the found object book...). All these works challenge the monetary preciousness usually associated with art objects. Produced in large numbers, they are relatively inexpensive to purchase. Theoretically, these books are meant to be more accessible than the art traditionally found in galleries and museums. However, due to distribution problems, public unawareness, and the uncertainty of librarians in accessioning them, bookworks are not as available as they should… Leer más

137 pp. 8vo, orig. linen over boards, printed label on spine. North Hills: 1982. Limited to 500 copies, printed on Frankfurt paper.

52 folding leaves. Large 8vo (298 x 190 mm.), orig. patterned semi-stiff wrappers (wrappers a little soiled), old stitching (stitching partially defective). [Korea]: Preface dated 1801, Afterword dated 1816. A very rare edition of this collection of documents relating to seven men and their actions during the Imjin War and the Manchu invasion of Korea in 1636. The invasions of Korea, first by the Japanese in the 1590s and then by the Manchus in the 1620s and 1630s, were important moments in the course of events that led to the rise of the Manchu Qing empire in continental East Asia. The large-scale fighting and movement of troops from Japan and China into the Korean peninsula in the late 16th century mark a watershed in Korean history. The cost of the wars also severely weakened the Chinese Ming dynasty, which eventually collapsed in 1644, ushering in an entirely new balance of power in the region. The "seven worthies" of the title include Pak Kwang-jŏn 朴光前 (1526-97, style name Chuk-ch'ŏn… Leer más

Trans. into Chinese by Xuanzang. Orihon (accordion) format (258 x 12,550 mm.), 28 joined sheets, 23 columns per sheet, mostly 17 characters per column, blockprint height: 201 mm.). Printed on grayish recycled paper. [Nara: published by the monk Kōei at the Kōfukuji Temple, 1213]. An extremely rare example of a Kamakura-era sutra printed in Japan on recycled grayish paper; this is the first specimen we have encountered. For an excellent discussion on the subject of recycled paper used in early Japanese printing, we have turned to the most interesting contribution of SOAS Prof. Lucia Dolce ("A Sutra as a Notebook? Printing and Repurposing Scriptures in Medieval Japan," Ars Orientalis, Vol. 52, No. 3, 2023): The term sukigaeshigami 漉返紙 (reclaimed paper) appears often in literary works of the time, indicating paper made by soaking scrap paper and other fibers and then spreading them thinly. This method erased the previous text almost completely. Small traces of ink and even traces of… Leer más

Black & white illus. 77 pp. & colophon. 8vo, red printed wrappers, title on spine. Brussels: Jan Mot, 2019. Scarce book published for Jan Mot's exhibition Paul Thek: I AM, AM I? (6 September-29 October 2019), edition of 750 copies. Texts by the dealer Ted Bonin and reproductions of the artist's etchings. "In 1989, a year after his death, a multitude of works were discovered in Paul Thek's New York storage unit. Among hundreds of sculptures, paintings, drawings, and notebooks were three sheets of paper with etched images. Each was printed from small metal plates, a traditional form of printmaking that has almost disappeared in our digital age. These three sheets were the first indication of a significant body of work painstakingly made but never exhibited." Fine. Unrecorded by WorldCat.

(first leaf blank except for signature mark), 63, [1] pp. Small 4to, early 20th cent. polished mottled calf by Riviere, triple gilt fillet round sides, spine richly gilt, red morocco lettering pieces on spine, dentelles gilt, a.e.g. London: H. Denham, 1576. Second edition, "nowe newly corrected and augmented," of the first English book on hops. The first edition appeared two years earlier; both editions are very rare. This is "an eminently practical treatise, illustrating the various methods of setting the roots, making the hills and ramming the poles, tying the bine, and its pulling up and preservation, with a number of curious cuts. It was the work of a practical man, written for practical men, and in this respect is far in advance of most of Scot's contemporaries, who were still much interested in the superstitions of the time, and the traditional pseudo-science of the Middle… Leer más

His considerable collection of books was left by his elder son, Louis de Valois, Comte d'Alais, to the Minims of La Guiche in Charolais. Its library was… Leer más

16 black & white illus. [32] pp. 4to, printed covers & pictorial dust-jacket. Vienna: Galerie Peter Pakesch, 1987. A fine example of this catalogue's first version. Kippenberger (1953-97) thought the printing was too dark and withdrew this version shortly after its publication (full explanation by Koch below). "[The catalogue] contains the first half of a conversation between Joachim Lottmann (questions) and Michael Krebber (answers) about Martin Kippenberger, continued in Die Reise nach Jerusalem [Going to Jerusalem]. The illustration section shows 14 sculptures from the year 1987. "There are two versions of this catalogue: Peter 2, which was withdrawn shortly after publication because Kippenberger found the printing too dark, and the adjusted reprint, Peter 2-II, which was given a new dustjacket featuring Kippenberger's handwritten corrections. However, the second edition seems rather too pale, since it was simply printed using less black instead of using new setting copies."-Koch. In fine… Leer más

16 black & white illus. [32] pp. 4to, printed covers & pictorial dust-jacket. Vienna: Galerie Peter Pakesch, 1987. The scarce second version of this exhibition catalogue.

Ferrara: F. Succius, 1629. First edition, Jesuit issue, and a very fine copy. "Perhaps the most significant discovery of the century following Gilbert was that of electrical repulsion. This effect seems first to have been noticed incidentally by Cabeus, who, in his Philosophia Magnetica (1629), describes how filings attracted by excited amber sometimes recoiled to a distance of several inches after making contact."-Wolf, A History of Science, Technology, and Philosophy, I, p. 303. Cabeo also relates his many experiments on the possibility of telegraphic communication by means of magnetized needles and gives the first picture of the sympathetic telegraph, an imaginary magnetic telegraph which sometimes appeared in early electrical literature, fancifully… Leer más

Many black & white illus. 48 pp. 8vo, softcover & pictorial dust-jacket. Berlin: Neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst, 1983. Rare exhibition catalogue, Koch states that the edition was 500 copies. For this group show, Kippenberger presented five pieces from the "Abschied vom Jugendbonus" series (1982/3).

"Straka writes about Kippenberger's works: '...there is a tendency here to use the specialist reading of the petty bourgeois, nudist leaflets of the lowest category, reproduced in print, pasted over, sprayed over, torn, etc.: the levels of found and reproduced illustrations, objective material and anarchic-subjective processing overlap.'"-Koch.

Single A4 sheet, printed on both sides, illus. on recto. Amsterdam: 1982.<br /> <P> Rare flyer for the lone film made by Ulises Carrión (1941-89). In the years after the closing of Other Books and So, the artist focused much of his efforts on video works, eventually founding Time Based Arts, a gallery dedicated to supporting video artists. On the verso, Carrión describes the film, which was "originally produced for the International Media Meeting, organized by the Agora Foundation in Maastricht from 19 to 25 April 1982."<br /> <P> "Ever since his participation in the activities of the In-Out Center, Carrión along with other Amsterdam artists shared an increasing interest in the possibility of film and video to document their numerous ephemeral activities and to work with the question of time...Carrión found in the language of film a support for his questioning of narrative, widening the possibilities beyond what… Leer más
