Rome: Galleria Appia Antica 1959.<br /> <br> <br> Rare catalogue for one of the earliest ZERO group exhibitions organized by gallerist Hans Sonnenberg 1928-2017.

Pieters Joop Sanders Jan Schoonhoven Emil Schumacher Shinkichi Tajiri and Jaap Wagemaker.

196521901New York: Horizon Press 1965. Near Fine/No Dust Jacket As Issued. <br /> <br /> A TOWERING ASSOCIATION COPY OF ZERO MOSTEL'S VISUAL AND VERBAL SELF-PORTRAIT INSCRIBED TO THE MAN WHO PUBLISHED IT. <br /> This copy number 2 of only 250 captures the raw kinetic energy of Mostel through Max Waldman's photography and Mostel's own idiosyncratic drawings. The deeply personal inscription to Ben Raeburn-the 'oldest flame' in Mostel's life-transforms this from a standard limited edition into a primary archival artifact of the Horizon Press legacy.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Visuals: Lavishly illustrated with high-contrast photographs by Max Waldman and original drawings by Zero Mostel. <br /> Binding: Full cloth with gilt-stamped spine; housed in the original coordinate slipcase. <br /> Imprint: Horizon Press New York 1965. <br /> Specs: 11.5 inches tall 4to; unpaginated. <br /> Provenance: From the estate of Horizon Press publisher Ben Raeburn. <br /> <br /> LIMITATION & SIGNATURES<br /> Number 2 of 250 numbered copies signed by Zero Mostel on the limitation page.<br /> Association Inscription: Inscribed in a different ink by Mostel to his publisher: 'To Ben Raeburn / The oldest flame in my life - with / my love and esteem - whatever that / means. - Regards to Pearl & Ricky too. / Zero Mostel'. Note: 'Pearl' refers to Ben's wife Pearl Raeburn and 'Ricky' likely refers to their son.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Near Fine.<br /> The Book: The bindings are tight and square. The internal text is clean and free of markings displaying only light even age-toning. The spine shows light uniform sun-darkening common to this cloth.<br /> The Slipcase: The original slipcase is present and structurally sound showing only minor shelf handling wear.<br /> <br /> SCHOLARLY FEATURES<br /> Artistic Merit: Max Waldman's photography captures Mostel not just as a performer but as a physical sculpture of emotion documenting the 'Theater of the Body' that made Mostel a mid-century icon.<br /> Design: Reflects Ben Raeburn's commitment to 'Total Book Design' prioritizing the tactile relationship between the unvarnished cloth and the heavy art-grade paper stock.<br /> Scholarship: Serves as a primary document of Mostel's polymathic nature proving that his artistic output was as vital as his stage presence in 'Fiddler on the Roof' or 'Ulysses in Nighttown'. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -<br /> Zero Mostel was more than a comedic force; he was a blacklisted artist who resurrected his career to become a pillar of the American stage. His relationship with Ben Raeburn and Horizon Press was foundational as Raeburn provided a sophisticated literary platform for Mostel's graphic and prose experiments.<br /> <br /> This volume is a landmark of 1960s independent publishing. Horizon Press under Raeburn was a sanctuary for high-level modernism and this collaboration between Mostel and Waldman represents the press at its most avant-garde.<br /> <br /> ASSOCIATION COPY<br /> This is a definitive Association Copy. As copy #2-likely the first copy Mostel presented to his publisher-it documents the intimate bond between artist and editor. The mention of 'Pearl & Ricky' Raeburn's family in the inscription underscores a decades-long personal friendship that transcended the professional contract.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Zero Mostel Max Waldman Horizon Press Photography Performing Arts Jewish-American Artists Association Copy Signed Limited Edition Art Monograph Horizon Press unknown
