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.'"

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. Drama apparently did not pay the bills so the theatre put the kibosh on live performance after just two seasons in favor of art house films. It was likely that few of these posters were made for each performance and even less that have survived. unknown books
