19502527Warsaw 1950. In original cloth. In fine condition. In original cloth. <p><br /> Signatures by Pablo Neruda Ilya Ehrenburg Arnold Zweig Wiktor Woroszylski Helene Weigel George Ashmore Fitch Xiao San and others.<br /> <p><p> <br /> In 1950 the World Congress of the Supporters of Peace adopted a permanent constitution for the World Peace Council which replaced the Committee of Partisans for Peace. The opening congress of the WPC condemned the atom-bomb and the American invasion of Korea. It followed the Cominform line recommending the creation of national peace committees in every country and rejected pacifism and the non-aligned peace movement. It was originally scheduled for Sheffield but the British authorities who wished to undermine the WPC refused visas to many delegates and the Congress was forced to move to Warsaw. British Prime Minister Clement Attlee denounced the Congress as a "bogus forum of peace with the real aim of sabotaging national defence" and said there would be a "reasonable limit" on foreign delegates.<br /> <p>. unknown

Eight photocollage plates numbered and signed in pencil on verso by Rubenstein all with tissue guards. With pencilled signature and inscription: "For Arnold Horwitch with admiration and gratitude 7/15/95." The tiniest bit of soiling to label on portfolio otherwise in mint condition.<br/> <br/> This is a very rare portfolio based on Rubenstein's photo/text/video installation "Critical Mass" created between 1989 and 1993 in collaboration with Ellen Zweig with technical assistance from Steina and Woody Vasulka. According to the Exhibition description at the MIT List Visual Arts Center "The 50th anniversary of the atomic bomb developed at the Los Alamos Laboratory and first detonated in the southern New Mexico desert on July 16 1943 inspired artists Meridel Rubenstein Woody and Steina Vasulka and Ellen Zweig to probe the ironic juxtaposition of two very different elements of American society. 'Critical Mass' a multimedia installation examines the unusual meeting of J. Robert Oppenheimer and other Manhattan Project scientists with the American Indians of San Ildefonso Pueblo whose land adjoins Los Alamos New Mexico. Their worlds fused at 'the house at Otowi Bridge' Edith Warner’s Rio Grande riverside home where both groups patronized a small restaurant she operated during the 1940s." Born in Detroit Michigan in 1948 Rubenstein received her bachelor's degree in social science with a film-making emphasis from Sarah Lawrence College and a Master's and M.F.A. degree from the University of New Mexico. She is the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation the National Endowment for the Arts and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and has taught photography at San Francisco State University and the Institute of American Indian Arts. The New Mexico Museum of Art the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Smithsonian American Art Museum are among the institutions with her works in their collections. She currently lives and works in Santa Fe. Rubenstein inscribed our copy to its original owner Arizona collector Arnold Horwitch.

193770612Londres London 1937. Fine. Londres London 26 décembre 1937 17.90 x 22.90 cm une feuille Signed autograph letter to Alfred Cortot and his wife about Richard Wagner's manuscript collection: ""I was lucky enough to be able to acquire the entire lot one day before Bayreuth sent a trusted buyer"". London 26 December 1937 17.9x22.9cm one leaf. Autograph letter signed by Stefan Zweig to Alfred Cortot two pages on one sheet written in violet ink. An outstanding autograph letter in which the avid collector informs his friend Alfred Cortot of his acquisition of unpublished manuscripts of Wagner. Alfred Cortot himself owes his career as a conductor to his early discovery of the German composer. Cortot shared with Zweig his ""almost tyrannical bewitchment suffered with as much intoxication as fervor"" for the composer. Zweig who spoke of his collection as ""more worthy of surviving me than my own works"" The World of Yesterday: Memories of a European 1942 recounts for his friend the details of this incredible discovery of hundreds of forgotten leaflets including Wagner's intimate correspondence handwritten scores and excerpts from opera librettos including The Flying Dutchman The Sublime Fiancée or Bianca and Giuseppe Die Feen Das Liebesverbot The Ban on Love and a lost orchestral version of Rule Britannia. In December 1937 as he fled the Nazi regime and settled in London Zweig became fascinated by the archives of a time when intellectual Europe was living in perfect syncretism. The writer takes a nostalgic look at the manuscripts of Wagner who like him spent his youth travelling through the capitals of Europe: ""I was extraordinarily fortunate to be able to get my hands on a whole lot of Richard Wagner's musical and literary manuscripts from his early period Leipzig Magdeburg Riga and Paris during a short stay in Vienna"". Among these precious manuscripts is the extremely rare orchestral arrangement of the patriotic song Rule Britannia which had been missing for more than sixty years. Sharing his passion for Wagner with his friend the pianist Cortot Zweig announced his discovery with the wonder so familiar to collectors when faced with an exceptional find: "". the manuscript is the only one of its kind in the world that has been preserved. It contains things that will be of special interest to you for example the complete translation 60 pages of the French version unpublished I believe of the text of the ""Liebesverbot"" entirely in Wagner's hand as well as the manuscripts of a vaudeville song ""Descendons la Courtille"" which he performed in his darkest moments . almost thirty pieces of the highest interest and precisely from the rarest period. All this was hidden for 50 years in a private collection and I was lucky enough to be able to acquire the entire lot one day before Bayreuth sent a buyer"". The letter is a fascinating account of Zweig's parallel life which had earned him a reputation as an accomplished collector. His collection also inspired one of his most beautiful short stories The Invisible Collection die Unsichtbare Sammlung and a pioneering essay in the Deutscher Bibliophilen Kalender The Autograph Collection as an Art. His hundreds of historical musical and literary autographs from the Middle Ages to the 20th century were carefully catalogued and collected in the library-museum of his house in Kapuzinerberg: ""In this library a 'place of worship' he also exercises a real activity as an expert in autographs . . The library will attract a number of distinguished scholars sometimes accompanied by their assistants who will not hesitate to return to work there quietly for days or even weeks at a time"" Stefan Zweig le voyageur des mondes Serge Niemetz. With this acquisition Zweig sees the dream of every collector come true. After two years of exile in England Zweig returned to Vienna in time to purchase these exceptional documents from Bayreuth's emissaries who had already built up unknown

Il travaillait au manuscrit depuis dix ans. Il voulait y inclure la somme de son expérience d'écrivain et de sa connaissance de la vie Balzac lui semblait le plus grand sujet accessible et à proprement parler prédestiné à son talent particulier. » Richard Friedenthal editors notes in Balzac.
