Maisel, David, with essays by Geoff Manaugh, Terry Toedtemeier and Michael S Roth
Library of Dust; The West Shore January 1889
San Francisco California: Chonicle Books 2008. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. David Maisel. This is a lot of two 2 items the second being a Very Good condition copy housed in a Mylar sleeve of The West Shore magazine for January of 1889 and that features duotone illustrations of both "Salem Oregon - Asylum of the Insane" and "Oregon - State Penitentiary Salem" and suffuse with articles and news about Oregon and especially the Willamette Valley and the Oregon Coast. Simple brown printed wraps chipping at spine bottom stapled prior dealer's For Salem card inside front flap. News about the genealogy of the State of Oregon and of Oakland Newberg Baker Salem McMinnville and other Oregon towns and villages. Library of Dust is one of "those" books that will dent your psyche in a good way. "Dust is a peculiar substance. Less a material in its own right with its own characteristics or color dust is a condition . . . Dust is a potpourri of ingredients varied to the point of indefinability. Dust includes 'dead insect parts flakes of human skin shreds of fabric and other unpleasing materials'" Geoff Manaugh quoting Joseph Amato. Library of Dust is a somber sobering fascinating photographic right-thinking rumination in humane terms on a non-human perhaps even inhumane collection: the decomposing copper canisters that carried the cremated remains of the former Oregon State Hospital inmates that had gone unclaimed. Library of Dust is comprised of four stellar essays and arresting full color full page photographs of the copper-coated tins oceanic of appearance encrusted in unique patinas of color and texture that somehow invoke perhaps the former human beings captured inside them. Bound handsomely in illustrated black pictorial boards in folio hardcover format measuring 17 1/2" x 13 1/4" in height and width respectively. Note: what appear to be scuffings of and rubbings to tips and extremities are in fact not so but rather a faithful mimesis of the burnishings of the canisters themselves according to a publisher rep. Miniscule faint title font at front cover slightly larger at spine and at endpapers is just as meaningful--barely there but necessary. The heavy black card stock endpapers however feature a sort of typographic constellation: each tiny number from a single number to four numbers appears in dark space so as to denote a former human being. Assembled jointly by David Maisel and three interlocutors and with apparent editorial freedom from the publisher. Essays by Geoff Manaugh "Mineral Kinship" Terry Toedtemeier "The Soul Remains: a mineralogical account of the remarkable transformation of the cremation canisters at the Oregon State Hospital" and Michael S. Roth "Graves of the Insane Decorated" then Maisel's "The Library and its Self-Contained Double." Most of them being being larger at their bases than at their heads the copper canisters are not unlovely but have instead a worker-like handmade quality to them. Some are burnished brightly; others are depressingly dull. From some of them bloom colorful corrosion and some of the seams are well-nigh unto splitting. Some have numbers stamped into them like shotgun shell casings and yet others have abraded paper labels still affixed to them. The lowest number registered is 01 and the highest is 5121. Uncommon in this fine state.Member I.O.B.A. C.B.A. and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes and for sets.

The Photomontages of Hannah Höch
Minneapolis: Walker Art Center 1996. First edition. Hardcover. Very good to fine condition. Large Quarto. 224 2pp. Original blue half-cloth over color-illustrated light blue boards with black lettering on cover white on spine. Dark blue endpapers. Catalog for the traveling exhibition of Hannah Höch's photomontages at the Walker Art Center the MOMA New York and the LACMA in Los Angeles organized by the Walker Art Center. Profusely illustrated with full page color and in-text b/w reproductions of Höch's extraordinary work throughout. <br /> <br /> "The complex interplay between public and private that typifies Höch's work in photomontage stands in utter defiance of our historically conditioned expectations. Given her roots in the most socially active wing of the international Dada movement and her near-exclusive use of illustrated periodicals for the source imagery of her pieces there is an expectation that Höch's photomontages be "public"–that is deal with public issues and public perceptions. Höch's work tells us–by omission as much as inclusion–what it was like to be a woman and an artist during the time in which she lived." Boswell. Contains chronology exhibition history bibliography and index at rear. Binding with light wear along edges interior in fine condition. Walker Art Center hardcover
