Illus. color and b/w plates. Signed by the author. <br/><br/>Extraordinarily strong exploration of immigrant life. "This one was my first artist book Caxixis-New York: a parallel between street fairs in New York City and a remote small town in northeast Brazil. The photographs taken as soon as I came to New York reflect the psyche of my first moment arriving abroad and having learned to look at the world that way I assigned myself the task of incorporating this quality of otherness to my own origins. Shown side by side these two essays form a parallel between street fairs in New York City and a remote small town in northeast Brazil. <br />The resulting body of work resulted in a solo show in my native city; this book was a companion piece. Having no bindery at home it was made in my mother’s kitchen using whatever materials I could find around. The hand of the maker sure shows: the original 35mm images were acrylic-medium-transfered to the pages. It is a low-tech process that involves vast amounts of rubbing. In addition a few of the images were silk-screened. <br />A book dealer asked me to get together some ephemera related to the show – that was when I realized: I have been doing this for so long now there is even history to it…" Artist Statement hardcover books

Quarterbound tan leather spine in blind lettering at spine printed paper boards colored paper endpages; matching slipcase. Small 8vo. np. Illus. color and b/w plates. Numbered limited edition this being 3 of 3. Signed by artist and poet. <br/><br/>"Random Reports is a series of poems by Barbara Henry derived from vocabulary lists chosen by chance and choice from the first section of The New York Times. They reflect the spirit of the day and are specifically dated and the subject of the poem is strictly a result of the wordlist. <br />They are often titled from the headlines. Many many years ago I asked Barbara to allow me a binding gathering the volumes 1 2 and 3. Time being a theme on all I try my hand at this sat unfinished for about 7 years. After an involved first attempt with low-relief carvings of scaffolding layers on wood covers that were deep enough for the gauging but too thick for the binding its potential baffled the binder: thanks to Barbara’s kaleidoscopic talent with words the number of design venues to explore was vast. Not to mention the weight of my own deflation. Little did I realize how ambitious that first attempt had been. It might photograph well but oh it functions poorly. Under deadline-pressure I even went ahead and submitted it out to be handled. Oh the shame. <br />Trusting the process kernel originally glimpsed however I embraced as propelling force a writing technique known as “hasta pronto adelante“: forward forging ahead from wherever the work is at – a mindset that shares an essence with the poetic constraints of the work. Binding-wise I was in for a trial-and-error loop but at least this time I kind of knew it. Such kindness to myself totally shared a vibe with Barbara’s forbearance: she never once asked me what was going on. <br />Forever forward moving the initial scaffolding dimensional backdrop made its way to the foreground with the recourse of graffiti rubbings: reminiscences of the tactile response one gets from handling inky newspapers the original substratum for the poems. <br />The back covers offer a contrast with this rough reality through the sensuality of leatherwork – alum goat hand-dyed to match Barbara’s color motif – bringing the harsh graffiti input to an immediate association with skins: layered experience in tandem with the poems essence." artist statement hardcover books

En nuestro país las fiestas populares de corte religioso nacidas en los años de la Colonia tienen una gran importancia en especial por poner de manifiesto la pervivencia de culturas originarias anteriores a la irrupción española y la interrelación conocida como sincretismo de aquellos mundos el originario y el occidental. Una de las fiestas prevalecientes es la del Niñopa xochimilca Cristo que continúa congregando año tras año a miles de fieles en una tradicional festividad decembrina. En estas páginas se estudia este hecho desde una doble perspectiva; la sociocultural y la histórica. La visión de aquella fiesta comprende en el trabajo de Cordero López el registro de su celebración inclusive en los días que corren. El volumen cuanta con fotografías de la imagen venerada.

1901003093London: Cassell & Company 1901. First Edition. Hardcover illustrated paper pastedown. Near Fine/Very Good. 4to. 29.5 by 22 cm. 40 1 pp. Leaves are folded in the Japanese manner giving the leaves a substantiality. In this one of Walter Crane's most famous works he freely draws upon the styles of dress from the Jacobean Georgian Regency periods as well as those from a vague Medieval past -- court jesters wizards etc. -- such as one finds in fairy tales some ball gowns more contemporary to him. The illustrations are a pageantry of color inspired by the work's fanciful progression of the calendar. This is a near exemplary copy of the work that was a part of the Forbes Magazine Collection which was a privately owned museum gallery. A discrete impressed stamp identifies it as such and it may thus be technically considered ex-lib although the provenance in this instance combined with its lovely condition would seem to enhance the copy. The dust jacket is an uncommon survival. Externally there is one minor corner chip and light wear besides. If one lifts the jacket off the book one will see an old edge tape repair that is best to leave as is. <br/><br/> Cassell & Company hardcover books
