Curated by Sellman and Freedman and including work by Young British Artists Dan Bonsall, Dominic Denis, Steve di Benedtto, Angus Fairhurst, Tim Head, and Michael Scott, GAMBLER hosted the first exhibition of Hirst's infamous "A Thousand Years": a cow's head enclosed in a glass vitrine with maggots and suspended fly-electrocuting light, so compelling a model of life and death it reportedly captured Francis Bacon's attention for a full hour. ARTSPACE magazine selected it as the most pivotal artwork of 1990, quoting and accepting Hirst's own explanations about the fear of death. Julian Stallabrass, however, located its inspirations more specifically in mass culture's horror-movie representations of death: "It's all so Peter Cushing.

(New York): Avon, 1980. First printing. Very good plus.. First edition of the first conscientiously gay gothic romance: meditative, otherworldly, intimate, and allusive. Gay novels with gothic and horror elements began to appear in the American market primarily in the 1970s, with Don Holliday's THREE ON A BROOMSTICK (1967) considered the earliest. But Virga departed from these publications in seeking to write squarely within the established conventions of romance. GAYWYCK looked to recreate the style and atmosphere of time-stamped classics like JANE EYRE, WUTHERING HEIGHTS, and REBECCA. The conscious imitation of, and allusions to, canonical gothics was part of a larger goal Virga hoped to accomplish in GAYWYCK: making space for gay romance by using, and essentially subverting, the same structures and conventions of heteronormative romance. As described by Virga, "It was my intention to write a novel in a genre I loved with gay characters in order to show that genres know no gender. Gaywyck is a… Leer más

New York: Boni & Liveright, 1925. First edition. Very good in very good jacket.. Inscribed first issue of the famous bestseller of the Jazz Age, chronicling the high life of a Hollywood flapper's trip to Europe. One of the great comic novels of the early 20th century, this work follows in the tradition of humorists like Mark Twain with the conceit of the American innocent abroad. Wildly popular, all copies of the first edition sold out in a single day; it serves as a useful contrast to the melancholy symbolism of THE GREAT GATSBY published the same year. Its tongue-in-cheek satire is nevertheless a perceptive commentary on the roles power and money can play in expanding or limiting women's freedoms, a theme which made Edith Wharton a vocal admirer. The 1949 musical introduced the song "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, " memorably performed by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 film. A rollicking adventure of the Roaring Twenties, scarce in the first issue and dust jacket, especially signed. 7.5'' x… Leer más
