Connelly Michael art direction/design
Book of Rock - Vol. I and Vol. II
n.p.: Warner Bros. Publications Inc. Very Good. c.1976. First Edition. Softcover. both volumes modestly edge-worn with light age-toning to edge of text block cheap paper; Volume I had small check-marks next to nine titles in the contents list; Volume II has a couple of small scrape marks on the front cover and a short diagonal crease at the top right corner of the front cover. An incredible compilation of music lyrics and guitar chords for about 200 songs selected to highlight "the major trends in the Rock movement from its beginnings in the mid fifties to the current progressive sound. Volume I traces early Rock 'n' Roll from the songs of Elvis Presley and Little Richard through the Folk Rock movement of Bob Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot up to the emergence of the Beatles in the late sixties as the dominant force in Rock music. Volume II spans the period from the Beatles trend-setting 'Sgt. Pepper' album into the Hard Rock of the Led Zeppelin heavy metal sound and through the rapid evolution of Soft Folk Jazz and Country Rock of the seventies to the current Disco beat." Although there's a copyright disclaimer about the "many songs we could not use" it definitely includes a lot of milestones including no fewer than 32 Beatles tunes. The selections in Volume I are divided into three sections: Early Rock n' Roll Elvis Little Richard Sam Cooke Bill Haley etc.; Folk Rock - the 60's Bob Dyan Peter Paul & Mary Joni Mitchell etc.; and Rock n' Roll 1960's dominated by The Beatles and The Bee Gees. Volume II contains: Rock - 60's/70's more Beatles & Bee Gees also The Who The Rolling Stone Elton John and others; Soft & Folk Rock - 1970's Neil Young Jackson Browne Linda Ronstadt Cat Stevens etc.; Hard Rock Deep Purple Led Zeppelin Alice Cooper; Country Rock the Allman Brothers the Eagles; Progressive & Jazz Rock Joni Mitchell Yes; and last AND least Disco Rock the Staples Singers the Average White Band and the return of the Bee Gees!. I've cited the big names of course but there are plenty of lesser lights here too and even a few mysteries does "Tom Cat" by Tom Scott & the L.A. Express ring a bell with anybody. NOTE that an additional shipping fee will be requested for international shipping of this heavy two-volume set or for Priority Mail service to U.S. destinations.

Design: Knoll
Production Archive of Knoll Designs from Olga Gueft
New York and East Greenville PA ca. 1967. Very good . Production archive for a 1967 article on the Knoll company by Olga Gueft. Collection includes 65 original photographs of the Knoll workshop and designs with contact prints dated 7/66 and negatives; several production sheets with layout and markup; notes and ephemera; a 1966 Knoll catalog with color and black-and-white photography and price list; and one complete 17-page typescript article draft by Olga Gueft dated 3/27/67. About a quarter of the photographs have numbers or notes on the back identifying the subject or photographer either Gueft herself or as "Not Gueft Photo." Most are approx. 10'' by 7'' with a few others in smaller sizes. A few photographs thumbed at corners; otherwise very good or better. All housed in large archival box. <br/><br/>Production archive of contact prints original photographs page mock-ups ephemera typescript and other primary materials from INTERIORS MAGAZINE editor Olga Gueft 1915-2015. Gueft a highly influential figure in the history of 20th century design joined INTERIORS as managing editor in 1945 and ascended to editor in 1953 remaining in that position through 1974. Her eye for promising designers led her to commission early cover artwork from Andy Warhol and under her guidance the magazine showcased the work of Florence Knoll Vladimir Kagan and Edward Wormley among many others. Tucked inside a 1966 Knoll Leisure Collection catalog is a 17-page typescript article on the history and contemporary design direction of the Knoll company titled NEW HANDS FOR THE TORCH and most likely intended for publication i INTERIORS. Gueft always an editor with strong opinions begins by reviewing the unspeakable ugliness of the early 1940s — "Most disgusting of all were the chairs" — as a reminder to the reader of what horrors preceded the midcentury modern aesthetic and what a great and gracious service Hans and Florence Knoll did for America and for the world. The article then details the several periods of Knoll through Hans's death and Florence Knoll's departure in 1965 concluding with an overview of the then-current design and development team. The remainder of the archive consists of 65 photographs with contact sheets negatives and other notes and ephemera all associated with Knoll. A memo from Gueft to "Christine" specifies that none of her photos may be used without credit or without payment outside of "a Knoll or Knoll International in-company house organ or newsletter." A few of the photographs thus have "Not Gueft Photo / Can Be Used" scrawled on the back. The East Greenville Pennsylvania workshop described in the article is the setting and subject of the majority of the photographs many of which include identified or identifiable designers and other figures at Knoll — Warren Platner Don Albinson Richard Schultz Don Pettitt William Stephens — and their work both in progress and in finished form. The remarkable series of photographs shows Knoll workers assembling furniture some in extreme close-up or documenting technical details. Another group focuses specifically on the Platner chair both in the process of assembly and finished. Gueft cites Platner's wire furniture Richard Schultz's "elegant aluminum frames" Albinson's "remarkably strong remarkably elegant" stacking chair all pictured in photographs as exemplars of "the continuity of the Knoll ideal . maintained without a break." A detailed portrait of midcentury design from the height of perhaps its greatest practitioner: Knoll. unknown books

FANZINI '75
Brooklyn/Toronto: John Dowd/Art Metropole 1975. First Edition. Wraps. Fine. 4to. Saddle-stapled wraps. Fine condition. Very sharp and clean. 90pp. <br/><br/>Fourth issue of five. Baylin's magazine was conceived as "fanzine" to John Dowd a "handsome New York leatherman with a physique reminiscent of a 'Tom of Finland' character" who participated in the mag's production and publication QUEER ZINES p. 76. In this issue the zine moved toward an almost entirely image-based style comprised of cartoons ad iconography and photos of male pornstars and celebrities including Cher Divine and Thelonious Monk. The title page states: "In these pages we have attempted to crystallize all the most dynamic details of our day to day experience. To further refine this cosmos we have creased five sections into which are channelled the best of our interests." A more illuminating sentence follows at the bottom of the page: "In the thick of the all to familiar yet loveable KITSCH which affects a maudlin world it is the nature of our own affliction to expose the fantasies which move us and in doing so somehow touch YOUR lifestyle in the most literal way we know." OCLC locates just five copies. John Dowd/Art Metropole paperback books

N.p.: N.p. 1950. Two vintage black and white photographs advertising the legendary Ohrbach's department store in the Wilshire Prudential Insurance Company building today home of the Screen Actors Guild. An strong example the apex of its mid-century design in Los Angeles. Stamped on the verso by Woro Studio the agency who shot and struck the photographs for the store's use at<br/><br/>Ohrbach's was a moderately-priced department store with a merchandising focus primarily on clothing and accessories. From its modest start in 1923 Ohrbach's expanded dramatically after World War II and opened numerous branch locations in the metro areas of New York New Jersey and Los Angeles. The growth of the fashion industry in California encouraged the company's expansion to the state and the firm employed the services of a buying office in Los Angeles as early as 1939 and opened its own office in 1945<br/><br/>In 1948 Ohrbach's leased three floors and the mezzanine in a wing of the Prudential Insurance Company building designed by Welton Becket and William Wurdeman on Wilshire Boulevard's Miracle Mile. The success of the Miracle Mile store led the firm to open another branch in Downtown Los Angeles in 1953 when it acquired the twelve-story Milliron's building at 5th and Broadway. <br/><br/>8 x 10 inches.

Collection of Original Artwork for Furniture and Interior Design -- Muebles Rodriguez
Alfafar Valencia c. 1930s. Near Fine. Album containing unmounted watercolor and gouache pencil and color printed studies of individual pieces of furniture and interior design ensembles probably created as maquettes for advertising purposes. Includes 17 in pencil ranging in size from 5.5-by-9 inches to 11-by-17 inches; and 32 in color most about 11-by-15 inches with 3 large pieces 18-by-24 inches folded once down the middle. Total of 48 pieces some a little rubbed or chipped along the edges; a few of the pencil sketches foxed; but the whole is overall nice and bright suitable for display. Remarkably detailed the polished wood shines! and accomplished artwork shows lavish nigh on palatial bedrooms and dining rooms -- with ornate beds bookcases chairs tables bureaus dressers and more prominently on display. 13 images in pencil or in color focus on specific pieces of furniture sometimes many per page taking them out of their context rooms and allowing a detailed look at the piece itself. The designs seem primarily focused on classical and neoclassical styles but Muebles Rodriguez is known for carrying modern colonial Provencal and avant garde pieces as well -- some of that influence is apparent here. A lovely and rich presentation. <br/><br/> unknown books

Nichols Beverly et al contributor. Biro dustjacket design
THE SATURDAY BOOK 23rd year
London: Hutchinson 1963. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good . Presentation copy from author and British swell Beverly Nichols 1898 - 1983 to art-collector artist inventor author designer and American swell Nancy Hays Hammond 1904-1985 on the ffe: "For N.H.H. With Christmas greetings from B. N.one of the many contributors of this little book. who.as she will learn inside is not. So distinguished as he how briefly how briefly imagines." Nichols contribution is a witty piece called "On Discovering that Jane Austen was One's Great-Great-Great-Aunt". Hammond does not appear; it seems that Nichol's inscription to Hammond is his typically arch way to perhaps ridicule the editorship of the book for not including an article that Hammond may have submitted. Book near fine dustjacket price-clipped. Nichols inscriptions aren't that common particulalrly considering how much he got published. Hutchinson hardcover books
