1914COL25-09<p><strong><em>Silver prints 7 and glass negatives 10</em></strong> <strong><em>Each about 6 x 8 inches</em></strong><br /><strong><em>Photos with Brown Brothers credit stamp verso</em></strong>. A rare and surreal suite of photographs and glass negatives documenting the objects shown at the "Exposition of Bad Taste" a 1914 satirical display of by-gone decorative sensibilities. It was given the humorous subtitle the "Casket of Domestic Fine Arts Comprising Articles of Home Adornment Chosen for Their Elegant and Genteel Quality" and it was held at Ruby Ross Wood's short-lived Modernist Gallery in New York City.<br /><br />From the objects on display to the sentiment behind it the exhibition was replete with a Duchampian impishness. According to a lengthy New York Times review it offered viewers a chance to behold and ridicule "marble-topped furniture seaweed wax flowers and other treasures under glass; samplers homemade paintings ornate chinaware of every description and countless articles such as were considered extremely genteel in the old days." Also on display was a set of coffee cups for the whole family labeled in gilt letters "Grandpa" "Father" Wife" and" Uncle."" Everywhere hung carefully worked mottos of the type of 'God Bless Our Home' 'No Cross No Crown' etc."<br /><br />Most of the visitors were of the opinion that the exhibits were "screamingly funny" but other older patrons were apoplectic that such cherished objects of the home were the subject of abject skewering. The Exposition of Bad Taste culminated with prizes awarded to the show's "worst horrors." One of top contenders was a daguerreotype from Brooklyn but it was taken out of the competition on account of the profound family associations connected with it.<br /><br />The Times review concludes by writing that those aged-attendees "who were shocked by this mockery of the sampler that sister Letitia worked with her own hands or the horsehair sofa on which Uncle Hiram breathed his last" vented their spleen on the perpetrators of the exhibition. And like an old soothsayer in a Greek tragedy they warned the smirking youngsters that "in the days that were to come the work of the Modernists would itself be made the subject of a similar 'Casket of the Domestic Arts.''<br /><br />The Exhibition of Bad Taste was organized by Ruby Ross Wood one of the 20th-century's eminent arbiters of the opposite. Wood a New York City interior designer and journalist was once dubbed by her protege Billy Badwin as "Quite simply the finest decorator who ever lived." Under the name Ruby Ross Goodnow she wrote fiction poetry and articles about interior design for "The Delineator" a popular women's magazine. She was also the ghostwriter for Elsie de Wolfe's decorating manual "The House in Good Taste" and other publications. After a stint at Wanamakers she opened her own design firm in the 1920s and found long-term success.<br /><br />The Modernist Gallery however did not share the same fate. Its offerings of Weiner Wertkstätte and the like were simply too cutting edge for "Grandpa" or "Wife" and Wood closed its doors later that year.</p>

1981216885Beijing. Circa1981. A complete set of 50 black and white photographs of the trial of the Gang of Four during 1980-81. Images clearly show the judges the courtroom and the accused. In excellent condition each photograph is loosely inserted within an A5 polypropylene sleeve all contained in an archival-grade cardboard box. All images measure approximately 20.5 x 15cm. A fascinating series of photos from the trial of the Gang of Four and the remnants of Lin Biao's Central Cultural Revolution Group including images of the court physical evidence and the accused themselves - including though not limited to Jiang Qing Zhang Chunqiao Wang Hongwen and Yao Wenyuan. <br> <br>Included are photos of the accused - in clearly poorer physical health compared to their peak in 1976 - after having reputedly given emotive vitriolic and stubborn statements to the court. Though Jiang Qing and Zhang Chunqiao appear openly hostile or contemptuous to the court - both in their own unique way - Wang Hongwen Yao Wenyuan and the other defendants appear more subdued and mournful in their demeanour seemingly having resigned themselves to their fate. <br> <br>Of particular note is the inclusion of a single page of images of what appears to be the badly charred and broken corpse of Lin Biao as well as the wreckage of his ill-fated flight. These images were presumably supplied to the court by the KGB who had very controversially handled the investigation at the time of the crash despite it having taken place over and within the territory of the Mongolian People's Republic not the Soviet Union. Perhaps to further affirm the position that the corpse was indeed Lin's a forensic-like comparison is made between an image of the body's skull and his distinctive forehead and brow ridge. . unknown
