2008237102008. Near fine. Collection of 85 photographs: 14 11'' x 14'' and 2 5'' x 14'' prints in white envelope; 19 4'' x 5'' prints in small folio with protective plastic sleeves; and 38 11'' x 14'' prints in plastic sleeves housed in ring-bound portfolio with handle and zipper closure. Brief identifying notes to verso of all prints. Production mark-up notes in silver ink to rectos of a small number of photos. With loose sheet briefly cataloging the contents handwritten and signed by Cobb. Some duplication. Near fine. <br/><br/>Portraits of Sol LeWitt wall drawing installers with images of the wall drawings themselves photographed over course of the 6-month installation of the Sol LeWitt Wall Drawing Retrospective at MASS MoCA. By artist and writer Chris Cobb himself one of the installers for the exhibition. From his included description: "These were made as tests for the final portfolios made for the museum & for Sol's widow Carol LeWitt. The portraits haven't been published only shown at Mass MoCA." Portrait subjects are identified on versos by first name and position title; of the several Wall Drawings visible most are shown in progress with a few shots of drawings #343 and #146 in a completed or nearly completed state. <br /> <br />As LeWitt wrote in his 1967 essay Paragraphs on Conceptual art "When an artist uses a conceptual form of art it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair." Accordingly his Wall Drawings were recreated each time they were exhibited as Cobb detailed in a 2008 BELIEVER article: "Early in LeWitt's career he made the drawings himself but as demand for them grew it became necessary for him to rely on a small group of draftsmen who could faithfully carry out his instructions developing techniques specific to each wall drawing.I am working alongside my apprentice Julia on Wall Drawing #343. By 'working on' I mean that I am attempting to recreate from a brief page of written instructions a work of conceptual art." <br /> <br />A remarkable collection documenting the process of recreating a body of artwork itself impermanent by design. And according to the photographer the first time a Lewitt work has been allowed to be documented in process. unknown books

1868WRCAM1491New York 1868. 2755pp. printed in double-column format. Original pictorial wrappers. Spine split and mostly perished cover slightly soiled else good. A most interesting contribution to American theatre history relating the author's experiences on the boards in Mobile Selma New Orleans St. Louis etc. Either the theatre crowd was a tougher bunch then or Smith had a facility for evoking violence and low behavior from his colleagues and audiences because his narrative is studded with all sorts of encounters of the meanest sort. Evidently travelling actors were not particularly welcome in some areas and Smith resorted on one occasion to impersonating Amos Kendall so he would receive civil treatment during an overnight stay. The author also makes room for bits and snatches of text extracted from trade papers newspapers and overheard conversations as well as utterances by others. Fascinating. HOWES S672.
