8079Coated paper with black & white illus. Assen Netherlands: 1982.<br/> <br/> The rare promotional poster for one of Ulises Carrión’s experimental public installations; the present copy is in particularly fine condition and has not been folded or creased. Entitled The Robbery of the Year this exhibition was designed by the artist as a test of visitors’ self-restraint. A large diamond was placed on a cushion without any enclosure but with a single spotlight trained on it in an otherwise dark room. Visitors were invited to enter the room while a photographer took pictures of the space and the visitors. An expected theft failed to transpire and near the end of the exhibition the photographer was withdrawn. Soon thereafter the diamond disappeared.<br/> <br/> “De Diefstal van het Jaar was an exhibition of a diamond in which visitors are surreptitiously invited to steal the stone raising interesting questions about viewing and stealing a precious object worthy of public exhibition and evoking images associated with museum heists with subsequent analysis on issues such as the value and ownership of objects on display.â€â€“Guy Schraenen ed.

The final result is only partially determined in advance and the process that leads to that point is influenced by all the factors mentioned above.

8080Single A4 sheet printed on both sides illus. on recto. Amsterdam: 1982.<br/> <br/> 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.â€<br/> <br/> “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 was previously limited to literature…In his only film the record of a performance The Death of the Art Dealer 1982 Carrión transfers into performance and film the type of processes he had applied to the literary text. Holding a small television set showing a 1940s film by Max Ophuls Carrión moves to the right or left to the rhythm of the movements of the characters in the film. The soundtrack is that of the original film but the narrative itself is ignored. Instead what one observes is a fairly unnoticed and typically forgettable structural aspect. In a way Carrión’s movements are like the parentheses and punctuation marks that he had previously used to strikethrough text in his pieces on certain literary works.â€â€“Joao Fernandes “Art as Subversion: Make and Remake to Make Anew†in Dear reader.

This catalogue’s text written by Alex A. M. de Vries is in parallel Dutch and English. <br/> <br/> De Vries pointedly notes “Two book-artists curated and arranged this exhibition in such a way that you will not see much of the usual mania for conservation which is being practised in most of the musea. This means that you will be able to take the books in your hands…This exhibition proves that artists’ books deserve to be shown more often and on large scale. And in an adequate way. The actual treatment like that of conservators in musea who like to take care of books as if they were dealing with radio-active material does not satisfy. A book ought to be in the hand of the reader.â€<br/> <br/> Fine and fresh copy.<br/> <br/> ⧠U. Carrión Quant aux Livres 2008 p. 210. unknown
9558Illus. throughout. 4 printed sheets orig. craft paper wrappers staple-bound. Hou Denmark: Egmont Højskolen Feb. 1979.<br /> <br> <br> A scarce exhibition catalogue dedicated to books with rubber-stamped illustrations curated by Ulises Carrión 1941-89. His introduction is printed in Danish and English: “Time pressures didn’t allow for a wide research but I believe that the show includes most if not all the significant artists in this field. Some available catalogues and anthologies have been included because they possess a reasonable coherence in character theme or intentions. These criteria rather than dictionary definitions were also applied when deciding what was to be considered as being ‘a book.’ The show includes quite a number of unbound works; in all cases however they consist of a series of loose works that have been put between the same covers and under a common name. Many of the included items were lent by Aart van Barneveld from the Stempelpaats in Amsterdam.â€<br /> <br> <br> The exhibition featured the works of Anna Banana Luciano Bartolini Peter van Beveren Cozette de Charmoy Robert Jacks Ray di Palma Pawel Petasz Dieter Roth Ruedi Schill Gabor Toth Dick Walraven etc. A few of the pieces are illustrated.<br /> <br> <br> In fine condition.

4510ULYSSES S. GRANT 1822-1885. Grant was the Eighteenth President and the head of the Union Army during the Civil War. Manuscript. 3pg. 8 x 12 . No date circa 1888. No place likely New York. A lengthy manuscript entitled Grants Last Review of Veterans done by an unknown soldier. He wrote The final farewell which the representatives of the Army took other old chief for the scene so memorable and so touching that it will never be if faced from the memories of those who participated in it or of those who viewed it. It occurred on decoration day three years ago. On that day the old veterans rose earlier than was there want spent more time than usual in unfurling their old battle flags in burnishing their metals of honor which decorated their breasts. They seem for time to forget ever the pain of their old wounds for they had resolved on that day to March by the house of their dying commander give a final marching salute the knew that one year from that day there would be a new made grave to decorate one which their children's children down through all the years would keep decked with the choicest of flowers. Outside that house the street was filled with the sound of marching men and martial music. Inside that house the chief lay upon a bed of anguish the power of approaching death already beginning to His features for his disease with doing the work which even the enemies bullets had shrunk from. The hand which it sees the surrender sounds of countless thousands was scarcely able to return the pressure of a friendly grasp. The voice which had cheered on to triumph and victory the legions of American manhood was no longer able to call for the cooling draft which lacked the thirst of a fever tongue and prostrate upon that bed of suffering lay the form which is the New World had written at the head of concrete columns in the old world had marched through the palaces of crown heads with the descendants of a line of kings rising and standing uncovered before him. His ears caught the sound of the movement of marching men. The bands were playing the grand strains which had mingled with the echo of his guns at Vicksburg playing the same quick steps to which his men had stepped in hot haste in pressuring Lee through Virginia and there came the measured tread swinging past of trained men which seem to shake the earth. He understood it all then it was the approaching tread of the old veterans. He seized his crutch with his little remaining strength and dragged himself painfully and slowly to the window. And as he gazed upon those banners bullet ridden battle stained those kindled in his eyes the flame which had lit them at Chattanooga at the Wilderness and amid the glories of Appomattox. And as he gazed upon those banners dipping to him in the salute he once more drew himself into the position of a soldier. And as they saw him standing cheeks which had been bronzed by Southern suns and begrimed with powder were now bathed in the tears of a manly grief. And then they saw a rising hand which had so often pointed out to them the path of victory he raises slowly and feebly to his head in acknowledgment of their salutations. The last the column had passed. The hand fellto his side. It was his last military salute. In late May 1885 the Union veterans knowing that Grant was dying had a military parade outside his 66th Street home. The document has light staining and chipping; the two pages have some separation and the lower right corner of the third page is missing but it affects no text. A fine firsthand account of the love the troops had for their general. unknown
