1969ref. 50211Amsterdam: Stedelijk Museum 1969. First edition. Near fine. Scarce catalogue of the 1969 exhibition of Arte Povera and Conceptual Art less known but as innovative and groundbreaking as the same year's more-mythologized "When Attitudes Become Form" and similarly an expression of its own curator's personality and vision. "Op Losse Schroeven" and "When Attitudes Become Form" were conceived planned and exhibited more or less concurrently but independently: Stedelijk Museum director de Wilde though supervising one curator and friendly with the other apparently shared no information in either direction despite considerable overlap in vision. If the curators were not well informed on their peer's progress those artists invited to participate in both exhibitions were: one of those artists Ger van Elk "made the curious suggestion that the physical similarity of the two men - each was solidly built bearded and bohemian in style - made it interesting for an artist to work with them both as their quickly staggered studio visits turned into a kind of performance; that of a curator chased by his doppelgänger" Rattemeyer. With work by Carl Andre Giovanni Anselmo Joseph Beuys Bill Bollinger Gerrit Dekker Barry Flanagan Bruce Nauman Richard Serra Robert Smithson Lawrence Weiner and others. 10.75'' x 8''. Original wrappers housing two bound portfolios designed by Wim Crouwel and Jolijn van de Wouw of Total Design Amsterdam. Text in Dutch and English. Illustrated in black and white. Printed on multi-colored paper. Light edgewear and soil to wrappers minor creasing to page edges. Stedelijk Museum unknown

ref. 51-2530Mount Horeb Wisconsin: Perishable Press Walter Hamady 1985. Original handmade paper covers. 26 x 19 cm. Full page illustrations. Unpaginated. Edition of 200 copies. Fine.Mailing label from Perishable Press included. John Wilde an American surrealist associated with the Magic Realist school of painting whose fantastic darkly humorous images brought him fame far beyond his native Wisconsin died on March 9 2006 at his home in Cooksville. He was 86.The cause was cancer said his dealer Tory Folliard of the Tory Folliard Gallery in Milwaukee.Mr. Wilde pronounced WILL-dee dedicated his six-decade career to painting with an exacting touch narratives involving grotesque doll-like people in otherworldly situations. He was inspired partly by Salvador Dalí and partly by Northern Renaissance masters like Bosch and Grünewald.Mr. Wilde often painted himself into his pictures giving himself a weirdly oversized and misshapen head. He also created intensely detailed colorful and mysteriously glowing still lifes.Although he lived his whole life in Wisconsin -- except for a wartime stint in the Army -- Mr. Wilde rejected the regionalism of artists like Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry. Instead he became part of a loose community of like-minded Midwesterners -- including Marshall Glasier his teacher at the University of Wisconsin and the Chicago-based fantasy painter Gertrude Abercrombie -- who advocated idiosyncratic and freely imaginative forms of expression. His paintings also relate to those of New York-based Magic Realists like Paul Cadmus and George Tooker. For Mr. Wilde's solo exhibition in New York at the Edwin Hewitt Gallery in 1950 the ballet impresario Lincoln Kirstein a friend of Cadmus and the New York Magic Realists wrote the brochure text.Paintings by Mr. Wilde were included in "Surrealism USA" a major exhibition at the National Academy Museum in New York last year. Currently two shows of Mr. Wilde's works are on view: at Spanierman Gallery in New York and at Tory Folliard Gallery in Milwaukee Mount Horeb, Wisconsin: Perishable Press (Walter Hamady), 1985 unknown
1903ref. 006235Paris London: Leonard Smithers 1903. Wilde's satire of upper-class life premiered in 1893. This particular publication is a rather deceptive edition LIMITED to 250 copies. No publisher is given but per COPAC it is Wilde's friend Leonard Smithers who published many of the "decadent" writers of his day including Captain Sir Richard Burton. The city of publication is named as Paris but even this is in doubt and is most likely London; citing Paris may have allowed a hint of scandal to attach. Tan cloth binding with titling and the date "1903" in gilt on the spine. Clean text;154 pages. Very Good condition with minor rubbing to the margins and some red stains on the rear cover. There is a signature on the limitation page and a different one on the Title Page. The only real defect to be noted is the presence of many more signatures - as if practicing - on the endpapers and half-title page. One would be tempted to call this "juvenalia" but these appear to be adult handwriting. Some of these are pencil and others ink. Limited. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. [Leonard Smithers] Hardcover
