1971réf. 396811East Hampton New York 1971. Unbound. Very Good. Broadside. Illustrated by Isadore Seltzer. Measuring 13" x 19.75". A bit rubbing and smudged along the top edge very good. Poster for a performance at the Old Post Office Theatre in on Newtown Lane in East Hampton New York co-owned by photographer Ken Robbins who used the upstairs as his first dark room. The theatre specialized in avant-garde plays by the likes of Harold Pinter Terrance McNally Sam Shepard Eugene Ionesco Joe Orton Rochelle Owens Boris Vian Leonard Melfi and others.

1996réf. 30442Zurich: Edition Stemmle. Fine in Fine dj. c.1996. 1st English-language edition. Hardcover. lovely as-new copy with no discernible wear to either book or jacket. B&W photographs From the Romanian-born photographer's introduction: "To me photography is essentially a poetic medium. I think of it as a theatrical mode of writing somewhere to set down all my obsessively and tirelessly unfolding fantasies. Every session staged and conceived as a dramatic sequence integrates Woman into a world of dreams. Mythical and multiple Woman invented who by turns assumes the different facets of the hundreds of mirrors I ponder. I can only imagine eroticism in its metaphysical dimension. I adore all that is excessive dreamlike curious. So I have adopted as my own these words by Baudelaire: 'In art only the bizarre is beautiful.'"
