‎ATWOOD, Margaret (b. 1939) and Charles PACHTER (b. 1942)‎

‎The Circle Game‎

‎Bloomfield Hills Michigan: Charles Pachter at Cranbrook Academy of Art 1964. 8 folded sheets of handmade paper 18 x 14 1/2 inches. Each with a poem printed on the left hand side and a full-page black and white lithographic illustration on the right hand side. Original tissue guards. Signed and numbered by Charles Pachter on the colophon page. Unbound. Within blue printed paper wrappers handmade by Pachter and an original blind-stamped protective cloth chemise 19 x 15 inches<br/> <br/> Limited edition Number 4 of 15 of The Circle Game Margaret Atwood’s early poetry collection with evocative illustrations by Charles Pachter.<br/> <br/> The present work is a collaborative project between renowned Canadian author Margaret Atwood and Canadian artist Charles Pachter. The Circle Game explores themes of childhood loss and the passage of time. The series of poems presents an image of children playing a repetitive game symbolizing cycles of life innocence and inevitable change. While the children appear carefree the speaker hints at a deeper awareness of how time alters experience; what was once a simple game will eventually become something different marked by growing awareness and loss. The series of poems also oscillates to the voice of another speaker a lover in bed observing and being observed. In describing the speaker Atwood writes of a "taut curiosity" where a playful quality of childhood is rediscovered in "word-plays calculated ploys of the body the witticisms of touch." In a similar way that Atwood describes the children's repetitive "tranced moving" as lacking joy she inserts distance and anxiety within the intimate space of lovers unsettling the idea of a once idyllic passion. Pachter contributes a series of illustrations which combine literal interpretation and expressive abstraction to depict the haunting anxious qualities that lurk behind Atwood's deceptively simple verse. Accompanying for instance the stanzas in which the speaker describes being stuck under the scrupulous gaze of her lover is an illustration of a round nude female body next to a dark large intrusive face with scrutinizing eyes whose presence dominates the page. Elsewhere the group of children with their faces abstracted are depicted in an ouroboros-like circle surrounding a large black mass performing their joyless play. Atwood's verse and Pachter's illustrations reinforce each other's tensions revealing the unease beneath repetition the scrutiny within closeness and the inevitability of transformation. Together they create a work that is both visually and lyrically haunting inviting readers to reconsider the cycles they inhabit and the ways in which they too are observed and changed.<br/> <br/> Lecker and David A2.

‎EGGLESTON, William (b. 1939) and John SZARKOWSKI (1925-2007)‎

‎William Eggleston's Guide‎

‎New York: MIT Press for the Museum of Modern Art 1976. 4to. 110 pp. 48 color photographs and one black-and-white portrait of Eggleston. Original black bonded leather with gilt-stamped spine and cover onlay. A fine copy. FIRST EDITION no date on the title-page; copyright page dated only 1976. Issued as the companion to Eggleston’s seminal 1976 exhibition at MoMA a landmark in the history of photography. <br /> <br /> “I once heard William Eggleston say that the nominal subjects of his pictures were no more than a pretext for the making of color photographs–the Degas position. I did not believe him although I can believe that it might be an advantage to think so or to pretend to think so. To me it seems that the pictures reproduced here are about the photographer’s home about his place in both important meanings of that word. One might say about his identity†John Szarkowski pp. 5-6. <br /> <br /> “As pictures . these seem to me perfect: irreducible surrogates for the experience they pretend to record visual analogues for the quality of one life collectively a paradigm of a private view a view one would have thought ineffable described here with clarity fulness and elegance†ibid. p. 14. Auer 598; Open Book 308-309; Parr and Badger I:265; Roth 238-239. . MIT Press for the Museum of Modern Art unknown‎

From The Los Angeles MetropOlitan Transit Authority Website. May Sun Was The Artist For The Extensive Work On The Hollywood/Western Station In Hollywood. "The Artist/Architect Team Design For The Hollywood/Western Station Attempts To Reclaim The Past For The Future. The Design Pays Homage To The Native Mestizo Heritage And Original European Settlement As Well As To The Panethnic Backgrounds Of More Recent Immigrants Who Constitute A Large Portion Of Metro Rail Users. Artist May Sun Created Copper Granite And Porcelain Enamel Panels With Text And Photographs Set In A Field Of Randomly-Colored Wall Tiles. The Panels Depict Bones Of Early Camel Horse And Bison From Excavations At The Site Statements About Gabrielino Life In The Area Images Of Workers Building The Station And Their Counterparts On The Old Red Car System And Images Of The Adjacent Neighborhood. As A Tribute To The Red Car System That Ended Its Service To Hollywood In The Early 1940S Two Replicas Of The Old Pacific Electric Red Cars Protrude From The Mezzanine Wall Allowing Passengers To Reminisce About The Past While Contemplating What The Future May Hold. Passengers Will Also Find A Station Floor Enhanced With Bright Granite Pavers Some With Small Mayan Chinese And Armenian Symbols And Others Formed Into Pictograms Of The Four Natural Elements Fire Earth Air And Water. "We Hope This Station Will Become A Generating Impetus For The Establishment Of A Greater Sense Of Place And Appreciation For The Unique Identity Of The Surrounding Community And Provide The City With A Revitalized Eastern Gateway For Hollywood."

SIGNED COPY signed and dated only by the author on the title page. "Set in Jackson Wyo. where the Old West merges with upscale art galleries and white-water rafting concessions this lightening-fast adventure has enough false trails to stock a national park. Introduced in The Bluejay Shaman the self-mocking narrator Alix Thorssen "semiprosperous art dealer so-so kayaker single girl thirty-something" faces upheaval and betrayal on all sides. Her gallery and her partnership with the wildly appealing Paolo Segundo seem to be at a crossroads. When a neighboring gallery goes up in a spectacular blaze and the body of a local artist "He was big in the seventies" is found inside Alix is drawn into the case as an appraiser and finds herself wondering why the police were so quick to label the crime arson/suicide. Of course she's right. But not as right as she thinks; what she doesn't know nearly kills her and does kill someone close to her. As Alix pursues an investigation that ultimately pits her professional self-interest against her ethics." -- Publishers Weekly. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/As New. Book.
