19319281Paris: Black Sun 1931. First edition. Hardcover. Fine. 8vo. Translated from the French by Kay Boyle. Illustrated by Max Ernst. One of 200 copies on Bristol paper this being copy number 52. Although not called for this copy is signed by Max Ernst on the frontispiece illustration. Furthermore it is in the deluxe 50-copy black binding with black endpapers. Finally the book is housed in the publisher's slipcase which was intended only for the deluxe edition. Such discrepancies were not uncommon for this aristocratic press whose attention to bibliographical accuracy can generously be described as casual. The 19 photograms that illustrate the book constituted a pioneering artist's technique by Ernst who was assisted in the endeavor by fellow Surrealist Man Ray. Carefully pencil-rubbed what the French call "frottage" translucent papers were employed as negatives to create the photograms. In essence then a photogram is a photograph made without the use of a camera. The three principals of this _Livre de Artiste were unlikely collaborators. Crevel whose 1927 novel "Babylone" was the source for "Mr Knife Miss Fork" which is the novel's first chapter committed suicide at the age of 35 after an unhappy existence as a radical political activist and closeted homosexual; Boyle an American author at the epicenter of the expatriate colony in Paris was gamely trying to deal with her financial short-fallings; while Ernst an acknowledged pioneer of the burgeoning Dada and Surrealist movements in art was likewise motivated by the opportunity to earn a few francs. All in all an anomalously desirable volume. <br /><br /> Black Sun hardcover

1967158550New York: Slugs' in the Far East 1967. Vintage flyer for several nights of performances held at the historic East Village jazz club. Flyer advertises performances held between February 7 through March 5 1967 with performers including Jackie McLean George Benson Kenny Dorham Stanley Turrentine and Sun Ra and His Astro-Infinity Music.<br /> <br /> Robert Schoenholt and Jerry Schultz opened Slugs' Saloon named after G.I. Gurdjieff's "terrestrial three-brained beings" from his "All and Everything" trilogy in Manhattan's East Village in 1964. New York regulations forbade the use of "saloon" and the venue name was soon changed to Slugs' in the Far East due to its East Village location. By the mid-1960s the bar was hosting regular jazz performances and soon became closely associated with Sun Ra whose Arkestra would play regular gigs every Monday as noted on the flyer on offer as "Sun Ra and His Astro-Infinity Music." By the late 1960s Slugs' hosted a number of prominent jazz musicians. including Sonny Rollins Albert Ayler and Ornette Coleman among many others. The club shut down in late 1972 several months after regular performer Lee Morgan was shot to death at the bar by his common-law wife Helen Moore.<br /> <br /> 5.5 x 8.5 inches framed to 8.5 x 11 inches.
