FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- Text in English. 174 pp. ; 282 ills. -- with a bonus offer--; When Sarah Winchesterís husband died she inherited a fortune in profits from the Winchester Repeating Rifle. She spent the second half of her life building a 160-room Victorian mansion a construction project designed never to end as she believed that continuing to build would stave off the ghosts of those killed by Winchester guns. Jeremy Blakeís Winchester Trilogy uses the huge tangled structure that resulted the definitive haunted house to examine the haunting of American culture by violence. Spirit Hunter documents and analyzes his groundbreaking and critically acclaimed work--some say Blake has invented a new genre between video and painting and interest in his progress intersects a number of fields including art film and fashion. Spirit Hunter also explores such disparate topics as frontier myth American foreign policy technology early film history psychoanalytic theory and philosophy--all in an accessible narrative style that interweaves art analysis with the story of a mythic haunting that still reverberates today. . 2006. 092197244X .

He has met with success--in 2006 his work appeared in New Photography at The Museum of Modern Art New York and at the Tate Triennial. Interviewed here he tells the respected artist David Shrigley "it is sometimes difficult to understand where it art all begins and ends the unanswerable question keeps us all going." His work is just as quotable including signs that read "Meeting point" and "This painting should ideally be hung to the left of an Ed Ruscha."

"During his eight years as a professional photographer he died prematurely at the age of thirty-four Livernois characteristically maintained two and sometimes three studios in Quebec Upper Town and the more popular faubourg Saint-Roch.Within his profession he was remarkable as his contemporary Henri-Raymond Casgrain makes clear: "Photography would have been no more than a trade for him as for many others if he had not had the intelligence to enhance its practice by unselfish research.".His son Jules Ernest Livernois and his grandson Jules followed in his footsteps. The photographic firm he founded is one of the rare examples of a business enterprise that reached its centenary." Louis Hamel-Minh in DCB IX pp. 47-48. Dionne III 1103. Sabin 40005.

1854réf. M7535Baltimore: Jacob Monk 1854. Some minor discolourations and some marginal chipping and staining not affecting the map altogether a very good copy laid down on original canvas as a scroll on two wooden rods. . Notes: Inset map of the world sits beneath the title in the lower left corner. It is centred on the Americas and charts the course of Wilkes' circumnavigation of the globe in the 1840s. To its right sits an index of counties and towns. Above the title on the left side are a legend and scale. On the right by the mid margin is a table of distances. The oceans are decorated with tall ships and the whole map sits within a decorative floral border. This map marks the dawn of the Manifest Destiny era of American history. Soon after the American victory of Mexico large new states and territories were carved out from the newly acquired land. Here we see the newly formed California and Texas along with the Oregon and Washington territories securing the country's claim to the Pacific coast. With California's gold rush getting into full swing the map accentuates many details of that state's gold region. North-South tensions are revealed in the ambiguity of the central states and territories: Northern interests sought to create a massive Nebraska territory which would have included present-day Kansas; however Southern lawmakers pressed Congress to make two separate territories.

1963réf. 123055Los Angeles: Columbia Records 1963. Inscribed by Monk to "the lady who ran the store and dance hall" Boldly signed in full on the upper part of the front cover "Good Luck always Mrs Tiejen sic Thelonious Monk." Monk's signature on an album cover is uncommon and this is a particularly fine example with a fittingly left-field provenance. We believe the recipient was Marian Tietjen 1920-2013 who "during her teenage years. worked as a waitress in La Grange Texas and in her spare time played piano in her father's jazz band. Many people who visited Swiss Alp Texas throughout the decades knew and loved Marian as 'Mrs. Tietjen' - she was the lady who ran the store and dance hall" The Schulenburg Sticker weekly newspaper online. This would have almost certainly been inscribed by Monk when he headlined at the Longhorn Jazz Festival in Austin Texas in late April 1967 alongside the Dizzy Gillespie Quartet and Nina Simone. This is the original Columbia Records release of Monk's second album for Columbia following Monk's Dream also 1963. The quartet included Charlie Rouse tenor John Ore bass and Frankie Dunlop drums and "features some of the finest work that Monk ever did in the studio with his '60s trio and quartet. This is prime Monk" AllMusic website. 12-inch LP Monaural-CL 2038. With album liner and pictorial sleeve. Sleeve with a few slight marks to front panel some surface loss along right edge.

1953réf. 819991953-54. From the collection of Jazz Hall-of-Famer Junior Mance from his time as house pianist at the Bee Hive in Chicago. None of the leaves are personalized apart from that of Coltrane who has inscribed "Best to Junior John Coltrane."
