1. ACCONCI, Vito

Notes on the Development of a Show (Sonnabend, New York: January 15 - 29, 1972 / Notes Toward Performing a Gallery Space (Signed with Announcement Card)

New York: Sonnabend / Hamburg: Edition Leeber Hossmann, 1972-1973. Limited Edition. Oblong octavo. No. 35 of 250 copies; SIGNED by Acconci. While Seedbed has arguably become known as Vito Acconci's signature work, its context is often overlooked, being but one of a suite of performances designed as interventions into Ileana Sonnabend's recently-opened SoHo gallery space (Jan. 15 - 29, 1972). The following year, Acconci published the present artist's book—24 leaves of his diagrammatic notes (in-facsimile), typescript research excerpts (e.g. Goffman, Wittgenstein), and 78 mounted photographs—revealing the theoretical underpinnings and urban/spatial research that animated these performances. Acconci's reference to Seedbed is rather coy here, with a simple illustration of the ramp, and a set of ambiguous statements; "When I am not inside the ramp, the ramp can still contain the product I grow, the product of my growth." Minor edge-wear to illustrated wrappers; near fine. With 6 OCLC records located in North America. Accompanied by original 1972 Sonnabend announcement card (5 x 9 in.), illustrated after a selection of the research photographs that appear in the book.

New York: Thea Westreich, 1991. First Edition. Quarto. SIGNED by Calle to colophon and hand-numbered as 197 of 230 copies.

Suite of 15 offset lithographs printed on Rives BFK paper (10.75 x 7.75 inches, sheet); each SIGNED, titled, and hand-numbered by Conner as 1/90. Just as with his Mandala series of drawings—which were translated into book form as Book (1966)—Bruce Conner here transformed the felt-tip “endless line” drawings of his Book Pages series into Book One. Originally planned to be bound, with the prints paired together on facing pages, Conner ultimately opted for this flexible presentation, with the prints housed loose along with tissue guards, printed title page, and colophon. Printed at Kaiser Graphics; typography by Grabhorn-Hoyem. A fine copy, save for small stain to colophon, in handmade portfolio by Schuberth Bindery, with gilt titles to front panel and cloth tie. With only a single OCLC record discovered; complete suites are uncommon in the trade.

9. HARING, Keith

Luna Luna: A Poetic Extravaganza!

[Hamburg]: Luna Luna Freizeitanlagen, 1986. First Edition. Quarto (bifolium).

Haring's colorful carousel ride—populated with his distinctive characters—was in good company on the fairgrounds, alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat's Ferris wheel, a shadow room from Georg Baselitz, a labyrinth designed by Roy Lichtenstein with accompanying Philip Glass score, and an enchanted tree from David Hockney. The pop-up version of the carousel was here executed by Van Der Meer Paper Design Limited, of Langley, England; printed, hand-assembled, and bound by Carvajal S.A. in Cali, Colombia. A remarkably fine copy in bright illustrated covers. Uncommon, with 5 OCLC records located in North America.

10. (HELICOPTERS)

Archive of Helicopter Photographs

Circa 1950s - 1980s. Extensive photographic collection of over 1000 helicopter photographs, mostly gelatin silver prints, collated into six 2.5-inch thick Leitz binders, and organized by manufacturer and model. Three binders are dedicated to the American company Bell Helicopters and are titled Bell, Bell UH-1, and UH1D; with two focused on the “Huey” model, widely used by the US Army during the Vietnam War. Two binders are titled SUD AVN ALII75-77 and SUD AVN ALII (F/BGS/Bw), both concentrated on the French helicopter maker Sud Aviation, and their then primary model, the Alouette. The fifth binder is titled Bölkow and is centered on the West German company of the same name; an additional clasp bound manila folder is laid in and contains more Bölkow images. The majority of the photographs were collected from a variety of military related sources such as press packets, presentation packets, tear sheets, and other such official disseminations; indeed some of the images, especially from Bell and Sud Aviation are stamped to verso with company name. However, there are also numerous snapshots more personal in origin. The organization of the folders documents the production and variations of the helicopters, often with fetishistic attention to small details, like markings and graphics. While civilian deployment is documented, the overall tone and content is distinctly martial; the West German helicopter parks and French training exercises especially suggest the tense staging of European Cold War militarization. Although the exact purpose of this archive is unknown, certain clues (such as pages from a West German plastic modeling company) suggest an amateur enthusiast engaged in obsessive typological collation. Throughout, the high quality of the photographs are chillingly anonymous and professional. Taken as a whole, a phenomenal photographic archive and accidentally curated art object. An extensive catalogue about the archive entitled From the Bunker has been published by The Everyday Press. Light wear from handling throughout, overall near fine in cardboard binders.

Wild Mook (Complete Set of 60 Issues)

Tokyo: World Photo Press / World Mook, 1978–1984. First Editions. Quarto. 60 issues. A complete set of this cult-favorite mook; an encyclopedic treatment of American consumer culture, reflecting the postwar Japanese fetishization of Western identity. More cosplay bible than anthropological study, each issue is dedicated to inventorying a niche cultural theme—e.g. trucks, guns, war films, fighter jets, survival gear, mortorcycles, Star Wars merchandise, military uniforms, college campuses, police—with impressively maximalist graphic design. An issue on commercial airliners includes a survey of airport protocols, a taxonomy of flight attendant uniforms, and detailed cockpit schematics. Contents ranging from 160 to 176 pages; fully illustrated, mostly in color, many with sticker sheets. This set uniformly near-fine in photo-illustrated wrappers. Scarce, with scattered OCLC records for individual issues; no records located for complete sets. A remarkable mirror world of twentieth century Americana.

Black and white images of late-sixties Hiroshima, mostly dispassionate street scenes and snippets of daily life, with a few medical zingers interspersed throughout. Sometimes photobooks with ostensibly banal shots can appear painfully artistic (the Dusseldorf photographers come to mind), but in this book the spare image of a rainy Hiroshima street, or a solitary man at a ramen counter, has a perverse, almost hypnotic power. Boards and top page edges lightly foxed, else close to near fine in a near fine jacket with the instantly recognizable photograph of a plane's landing gear with a gray Hiroshima spread out in the distance.

20. OHARA, Ken

One (Signed)

Tokyo: Tsukiji Shokan Publishing Co., 1970. First Edition. Thick quarto. SIGNED by Ohara to first page, with his trademark signature-line extending over the textblock edge, and across the final two pages of portraits. A fully-illustrated collection of 500 black-and-white portraits captured on the streets of New York, where the Japanese-born photographer was an apprentice to Richard Avedon and Hiro. Printing the portraits with the same tonal quality, and thus blurring differences in skin color, "Ohara has taken the utopian step of using the camera to turn humankind into one big melting pot, his serial photographs making almost ritual atonement for the sin of racism" (Parr / Badger, v1, 291). Just about fine in photo-illustrated wrappers in an equally fine price-clipped jacket.

$3000.00  $1800.00

21. OORTHUYS, Cas, Emmy Andriese, Various Others

Amsterdam tijdens den Hongerwinter / Amsterdam during the "Hungerwinter"

Amsterdam: Contact / De Bezige Bij, 1947. First Edition. Quarto. Pictures taken during the winter of 1944-1945 by leading members of the Underground Camera group, including Dutch greats Cas Oorthuys and Emmy Andriese. What emerges from this book—beyond the harrowing wartime shots of starvation and destruction—are the beginnings in photo literature of a new way of seeing the world. Forced by necessity to shoot under the most extreme conditions, the photographers are formulating a new aesthetic forged from the immediacy of circumstance. (Parr / Badger, v1, 196). Faint sticker residue to front pastedown and a few spots of foxing and light general wear; a very good copy in a very good jacket, complete, lightly foxed at the back panel, with several small tears, some of which have been repaired by tape. Quite a presentable copy of a book rarely found in jacket.

$450.00  $270.00

Children of Europe

Paris: UNESCO, 1949. First Edition. Small spiral-bound quarto. The first book from David "Chim" Seymour (born David Szymin), who was here commissioned by UNICEF to document the plight of millions of children in post-War Europe. The striking gravure-printed images—which Seymour captured across six months of travel through Austria, Greece, Germany, Hungary, Italy, and Poland—are preceded by an 8 pp. introduction, written by Seymour in the voice of one such child: "Believe me, all of us war handicapped children can still forget what we have witnessed, what you made us witness. You can help us a lot... We ourselves shall be 'grown-ups' in a few years and, if we then see that millions of us have been abandoned a second time, we certainly shall lose faith in that ideal for which you fought." Despite what must have been a large printing, this photobook by one of the founding members of Magnum remains an elusive title. Moderate creasing to spiral-bound wrappers, with some chipping to corners. Interior bright and clean. Close to near fine.

A rhythmic, fully-illustrated montage of street photography, newspaper clippings, nudes, TV stills, ephemera, and textual fragments; a moody cartography of Tillmans' pre-digital world. Small abrasion to front hinge of illustrated boards, otherwise a near fine copy. This important work most often encountered as a 2008 reprint by JRP|Ringier; first edition copies uncommon, especially signed.
