Chicago: The University of Chicago Library 1986.<br/> <br/> An important exhibition catalogue as well as reference work on artists’ books. This catalogue was designed by the book artist Buzz Spector b. 1948 and his pencil notes for the mock-up have been reproduced in this final version. Jeffrey Abt the organizer of the exhibition writes in an insightful essay: “The contemporary artist’s book…represents an evolution of the book’s use from a vehicle for text and its illustration to an artistically integrated sometimes sculptural object. Though superficially the artist’s book may bear little resemblance to the common codex it nonetheless continues many of the earlier uses and forms of the book.â€<br/> <br/> This exhibition featured several dozen artists’ books by practitioners such as Roberta Allen Douglas Beube Meryl Brater Timothy C. Ely Jane Freeman Kay Hines Jana Kluge Richard Long Andrew Masullo Scott McCarney Brenda Miller Kevin Osborn Bruce Schnabel Berty Skuber Keith A. Smith Buzz Spector Yoko Terauchi Erica van Horn Cornelia Vogel Paul Zelevansky etc. <br/> <br/> Fine copy. The page numbers and headings are not written in pencil.<br/> <br/> â§ A.

8620Illus. throughout and first & last leaves stamped. Unpaginated. 8vo printed wrappers staple-bound. Williamstown MA: Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute Library May 1984.<br /> <br> <br> An uncommon exhibition catalogue conceived and designed by Craig Dennis and the books were selected by Kira Obolensky. “Paginations demonstrates the wide diversity of theme and format one finds in bookworks. In addition the selections represent existing categories for contemporary bookworks e.g. concrete poetry political and feminist expression the flip book the found object book…. All these works challenge the monetary preciousness usually associated with art objects. Produced in large numbers they are relatively inexpensive to purchase. Theoretically these books are meant to be more accessible than the art traditionally found in galleries and museums. However due to distribution problems public unawareness and the uncertainty of librarians in accessioning them bookworks are not as available as they should be. Perhaps this exhibition will encourage greater public interest in this contemporary art form.â€<br /> <br> <br> Books by the following artists were included: Bruce McLean Conrad Gleber Nan Becker Jenny Holzer Ida Applebroog Dieter Roth Suzanne Lacy Sol LeWitt Lynda Barry Joseph Kosuth Emmett Williams Ray DiPalma Bruce Nauman Edward Ruscha Roman Opalka Douglas Huebler Athena Tacha Kevin Osborn etc.<br /> <br> <br> In fine condition with the laid-in errata slip. unknown

Softcover reddish orange wrappers printed in black & white with a full page caricature by Yvette Guilbert on the back cover. The soiled and heavily chipped covers are detached. There are several tears and small pieces out from the edges of the covers. Several tears to the bottom edge of the front cover have been reinforced with archival linen tape from the verso. 20 pages including the covers with textual and full-page illustrations by the French caricaturists of the period including contributions by Antoni Deupe Gosse Andres Jimmy Oawks Enri Schmied Antek Pogolotti Sagette Yvette Guilbert. The text includes a poem by Jacques Moulin "Dedie a Henri Willemin" the satirical "Petit cours de Medecine pratique" by Le Bon Docteur "Petites explications pour ceux qui n'auraient par compris les evenements" by Jimmy Oawks and numerous biting captions serving as titles to the illustrations. The pages are darkened with short tears and chips to the edges. A complete but fragile issue well worth restoring due to its rarity. <p>Biting political satire about the Stavisky Affair distributed by the left wing Association des Ecrivains et des Artistes Revolutionaires.<p>Founded in March 1932 the Association was a section of the International Union of Revolutionary Writers which the Comintern had founded a couple of years earlier. The AEAR was a French association founded by communist and communist sympathizing writers in opposition to war and fascism. Henri Cartier Bresson Luis Bunuel Max Ernst Andre Gide and Man Ray were for a time among the notable members of the association.<p>A 1934 financial scandal The Stavisky Affair was generated by the actions and dealings of the embezzler Alexandre Stavisky 1888-1934. Politicians and investors were swept up in Stavisky's schemes. He sold hundreds of millions of francs worth of false bonds on the city of Bayonne's municipal pawnshops. First charged with fraud in 1927 his trial was postponed over and over again as Stavinsky known as "Le Beau Sasha" was granted bail 19 times. In the interim one judge was found decapitated and the affair culminated with Stavisky's "suicide" though speculation persisted that the police killed him. As suggested by "Le Canard enchaine" if it was indeed suicide Stavisky must have had "a long arm". Right wing accusations that the police had killed Stavisky to protect influential people led to the resignation of French premier Camille Chautemps. His successor Daladier from the Radical-Socialist Party immediately fired the right-wing Paris Police prefect Jean Chiappe as well as the director of the Comedie Francaise. The new Interior minister Eugene Frot announced that demonstrators would be shot. The events led to an attempted right-wing putsch fomented by Action Francaise the Croix-de-Feu the Mouvement Franciste and a collection of anti-Semitic monarchist and fascist groups. The riots resulted in 14 deaths at the hands of the police. Daladier was himself forced to resign and his successor the conservative Gaston Doumergue formed a coalition cabinet. The affair inspired the 1937 Hollywood movie "Stolen Holiday" starring Claude Rains and the later 1974 Alain Resnais film "Stavisky" starring Jean-Paul Belmondo.<p>RARE.

Sharp. See scans. Exceptional condition for this thin-but-large fragile weekly. Glossy covers; first and last few internal pages are on newsprint else all glossy. Rather spectacular full-page color illustrations in every issue in fact by the coterie of guys who knew how to do what you see here. In the case of this issue Georges Leonnec René Vincent Vald'Es Valvérane & D'Espagnat Fabien Fabiano and Henri Guydo are credited with some other very credit-worthy art being uncredited. See scans. Cute humor from the same mood as mutoscope cards or perhaps a bit only a bit more refined. Gentle titillation. Even the occasional partial nudity is rather tasteful and soft though humorously flirtatious. All of the full page efforts are eminently frame-able and at this time of a sensibility midway-evolved between nouveau and deco as is much of the uncredited b&w illustration. An original - and of course first and only edition - of the 8/18/1917 issue of this memorable and long-lived French weekly offering of very soft very artful light erotica. The captioned illustrations by the eminent "dessins" luminaries named above and others in their clan are what really "make" this issue as was generally the case through the era but cartoons serial fiction and around-town pieces nicely compliment those. Gorgeous oversized large color illustrations are what you collect these for. l-LNG2 <br/> <br/> La Vie Parisienne paperback
