196849201New York: John Wilcock 1968. First Edition. Tabloid 43cm; photo-illustrated newsprint wrappers; 24pp; illus. Light wear and toning to extremities faint horizontal fold at center with a long neat split to same; Good to Very Good without postal markings. Though never as popular or widely-circulated as its brethren like The East Village Other and The Berkeley Barb nor as political as such radical-left undergrounds as The Black Panther and New Left Notes John Wilcock's Other Scenes probably deserves pride of place as the most daring creative and experimental of the alternative press papers of the late Sixties. It was also - probably a function of Wilcock's comparative maturity he was already in his late thirties in 1967 - far less reliant on the sort of psychedelic mish-mosh that defined the aesthetic of most other underground papers of the period. Described in the masthead as "a revolutionary newsletter concerned with art politics sociology sex and the creation of a more equitable society" Other Scenes was heavily influenced by both the Fluxus and mail-art movements as well as Andy Warhol's avant-pop aesthetic Wilcock was a regular Factory denizen. The paper operated as much as a virtual underground club for its subscribers as it did a vehicle for news distribution; according to the masthead of an early issue Wilcock distributed the paper "twenty times a year from wherever its editor happens to be" and his mailings often included "surprises" including "newsletters newspapers letters brochures and discoveries that I make in all parts of the world." Contents include contributions by John Bryan Clem Gorman Lee Harris Israel Young Tuli Kupferberg Alex Apostolides Gary Snyder LeRoi Jones and others. John Wilcock unknown books

1972181204Millerton New York: Aperture 1972. Softcover. VG/Fair covers show heavy wear and scuff marks corners bumped. Pages are clean and tight. Pictorial glossy covers. 8 unnumbered pages 15 pages 161 unnumbered pages : illustrations 80 portraits. "Published just after her untimely death in 1971 this book--whether or not aided by the artist's notoriety--has achieved massive sales for a volume of such uncompromising photographs. Edited by Doon Arbus and Marvin Israel its titled implies a mere trawl through her best-known images. It is that but it also a brilliant exposé of American life. . While it is true that she often photographed those outside society's norms a more pertinent observation is that if she made 'normals' look like 'freaks' she also made 'freaks' look like 'normals'. Furthermore her exploration of normalcy was complicated by gender issues. In her aggressive full frontal 'exploitation' of her subjects Arbus appropriated an essentially male convention: that of staring. Indeed it may well be her assumption of this prerogative of masculine domination that has attracted much of the negative comment compounded by her undercutting of gender stereotypes. She was a great feminist photographer. Her women and girls are invariably strong--like the confident twins on the cover of the book--and her men are frequently damaged or uncomfortable in their surroundings."--The Photobook : A History Volume I / Martin Parr and Gerry Badger.
