1996rif. 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.'"

1971rif. 396807East Hampton New York 1971. Unbound. Near Fine. Broadside. Illustrated by Isadore Seltzer. Measuring 11" x 17". Near fine with some toning. Poster for two performances 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

Fine and tight. Internally exceptionally well-preserved clean and bright. First edition presentation-copy of one of Ionesco's most celebrated plays significant work in the Theatre of the Absurd. The copy is inscribed by Ionesco to front endpaper: "Pour Kjeld Abell - / Eugène Ionesco / avec sa reconnaissance / et son amitié. / E.I. / 9-25". With works like the present Eugène Ionesco helped found the important movement known as Theatre of the Absurd. The play explores themes of societal pressures conformity and the loss of individuality set in a town where the inhabitants gradually turn into rhinoceroses. Through the protagonist Berenger who resists the transformation Ionesco critiques totalitarianism the allure of mass movements and the fragile nature of human identity. Ionesco a Romanian-Frrench playwright bacame known for his rejection of traditional theatrical conventions and his focus on the absurdity of human existence. Alongside writers like Samuel Beckett he shaped post-war drama exploring existential themes through humor illogical dialogue and surreal situations. Le Rhinocéros is often interpreted as a commentary on the rise of fascism and the danger of unhecked ideologies though Ionesco insisted it was a more universal reflection on human nature. Its relevance endures as it invites readers and viewers to reflect on the role of the individual within the collective and the pressures to confirm even when that means losing one's humanity. The work is one of Ionesco's most celebrated plays alongside La Cantatrice chauve The Bald Soprano and La Leçon The Lesson and it soldified his reputation as a key figure in modernist literature. Kjeld Abell was a major Danish playwright and a key voice in mid-century European theatre. His bold innovative works anticipated many of the themes later explored by the Theatre of the Absurd. Abell often employed dream logic satire and non-linear structure to critique authoritarianism and explore existential dilemmas making him a highly relevant and meaningful dedicatee for this presentation copy. unknown
