‎* Die Something Else Press war ein von 1964 bis 1974 ursprünglich in Chelsea (Manhattan), New York beheimateter Avantgarde-Verlag für Künstlerbücher, insbesondere des Fluxus. Verlagsgründer war der Künstler Dick Higgins (1938?1998). Higgins gründete, nachdem es in dieser Zeit mit dem Fluxus-Gründer George Maciunas wegen Verzögerungen einer Buchpublikation zu einem Bruch gekommen war, den Verlag 1964 und veröffentlichte als erste Publikation einen Band mit eigenen Werken (Jefferson's Birthday und Postface). Der Verlag veröffentlichte viele wichtige Texte und Werke von George Brecht (Grundlagentext zum Zufall in der Kunst von 1957), Robert Filliou, Daniel Spoerri (Topographie des Zufalls, in Übersetzung), Alison Knowles, Emmett Williams sowie Dutzende von Vorreitern und Vertretern der Avantgarde wie Richard Huelsenbeck (Dada Almanach), Gertrude Stein (mit amerikanischen Erstveröffentlichungen), John Cage oder Bern Porter. Die Something Else Press war einer der ersten Herausgeber in den Vereinigten Staaten von Konkreter Poesie und anderen Werken von Fluxus-Künstlern in den 1960er Jahren, wobei die zusammen mit der Edition Hansjörg Mayer, Stuttgart, 1967 von Emmett Williams veröffentlichte Anthology of Concrete Poetry als eine der ersten Übersichten für diese neue Kunstform auch in Deutschland nachhaltiges Interesse fand. Das Verlagsprogramm zeigte die enge Verbindung zwischen der europäischen und amerikanischen Fluxus-Bewegung in den frühen Jahren. Higgins prägte Mitte der 1960er Jahre den Begriff ?Poetry Intermedia?, der dann im Weiteren als Intermedialität Beachtung fand. Die Kombination von hoher Qualität bei vermarktbaren Formaten für eine größere Verbreitung schuf ein Gegengewicht zu den noch, z. B. von Maciunas und anderen, in Handarbeit hergestellten Künstlerbüchern und Buchobjekten als Original, Unikat oder in Kleinstauflagen. Die Strategie war, Bücher mit progressivem Inhalt jedoch mit konventionellem Aussehen zu veröffentlichen, so dass diese auch in normalen Buchhandlungen platziert werden konnten. In den späten 1960er Jahren arbeiteten für die Something Else Press Künstler wie Emmett Williams, Chefredakteur für die Jahre 1966 bis 1970, Alison Knowles, der Dichter Larry Freifeld, die irisch-amerikanische Schriftstellerin Mary Flanagan und der Maler Ronnie Landfield. Der Fluxus-Künstler Ken Friedman fungierte als General Manager für Higgins in New York und Kalifornien in den Jahren 1970 und 1971. Während Higgins Haupteigentümer und Verleger blieb, dienten andere als Herausgeber, einschließlich Emmett Williams und Jan Herman. Herman übernahm die Aufgabe im Jahr 1973 und hatte sie bis zur Aufgabe des Verlages ein Jahr später inne. Ursprünglicher Verlagssitz war Chelsea (Impressum: New York, später auch Middelton), der in den 1970er Jahren in das nördlichere Glover (Vermont) (Impressum: West Glover, später Barton) verlegt wurde. In dem zehnjährigen Bestehen des Verlages veröffentlichte dieser etwas über 60 Werke und 20 Broschüren der Reihe ?Great Bear Pamphlet?, Karten, Poster, Newsletter und Ähnliches, die heute noch in Kunstbuch- oder Fluxus-Ausstellungen gezeigt werden. Die ursprünglich als Künstlerbücher vorwiegend von Privatsammlern beachteten Werke fanden durch Schenkungen Eingang in öffentliche Sammlungen, so dass heute eine kunst-, literatur- und musikwissenschaftliche Erschließung möglich ist.

‎GOLD: PAMPHLETS‎

‎Collection of Seven Pamphlets on Gold and Six Pamphlets on Decimalisation in a contemporary binding‎

‎London: various publishers 1840- 1855. Thick octavo a contemporary collection of thirteen rare pamphlets seven on the subject of gold with in total five folding maps each with original title-pages one with drop-title only several with owner's signature and one with authorial inscription; a handsome volume in contemporary half vellum with titles written in ink on the spine fine. A handsome volume bringing together a number of mid-nineteenth-century pamphlets relating to gold privately bound as a reference for William John Prescott with his bookplate a prominent merchant banker and brother of Bank of England governor Henry James Prescott. The volume notably includes James Wyld's Gold Fields of Australia. Notes on the Distribution of Gold Throughout the World including Australia California and Russia London 1852; second edition; Ferguson 18922. Wyld an innovative cartographer and publisher and geographer to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert produced a vast amount of topical and popular geographical works. The present work on gold distribution reflects Wyld's astute sense of public demand. The text is accompanied by five maps engraved by Wyld himself three of Australia one of California and the fifth of the world. Also of note is a presentation copy of the first edition of D. Forbes Campbell's translation of Michel Chevalier's Remarks on the Production of Precious Metals and on the Depreciation of Gold London 1853; Ferguson 13329. Chevalier a noted French statesman and economist was one of the originators of the 1860 Cobden-Chevalier treaty regarding free trade between France and Britain but in the present work goes into some depth regarding the impact of the gold discoveries in Australia and elsewhere. Notably the essay was included in The History of Gold and Silver London 2000. Aside from the above mentioned articles the volume also contains the following regarding gold: William Newmarch The New Supplies of Gold London 1853; Ferguson 13329; Scheer Frederick. A letter to Thomas Baring Esq. M.P. on the Effects of the Californian and Australian Gold Discoveries London 1852; second edition not in Ferguson - but see 15469a for the first; Andrew Johnson Some Observations on the Recent Supplies of Gold with Remarks on Mr Scheer's Letter to Sir F. Baring. London 1852; Leonard Joseph Faucher Remarks on the Production of the Precious Metals Translated by Thomson Hankey Jnr. London 1852. It is interesting to note that despite having some Australian content neither of the last two pamphlets noticed here was included by Ferguson. Reflecting the interests of Prescott the volume also includes six pamphlets on the debate about possible decimalisation of currency a full listing of these is available on request. various publishers, 1840- unknown‎
