Best.-Nr. 8078Many black & white illus. Two large folded sheets 299 x 212 mm. folded unbound. Purmerend: Museum Waterland 1981. An uncommon exhibition flyer for a display of bookworks at the Museum Waterland co-curated by Ulises Carrión and Juan J. Agius. Both featured their own works along with those of François Bouillon Axel Heibel Diderick van Kleef Federico Sanguinetti Ben Sleeuwenhoek Ad Gerritsen J. H. Kocman Tom Ockerse Gèza Perneczky and Pawel Petasz. Several examples of each artist’s work are pictured. All the works displayed were drawn from Agius’s and Carrión’s personal collections. This catalogue’s text written by Alex A. M. de Vries is in parallel Dutch and English. De Vries pointedly notes “Two book-artists curated and arranged this exhibition in such a way that you will not see much of the usual mania for conservation which is being practised in most of the musea. This means that you will be able to take the books in your hands…This exhibition proves that artists’ books deserve to be shown more often and on large scale. And in an adequate way. The actual treatment like that of conservators in musea who like to take care of books as if they were dealing with radio-active material does not satisfy. A book ought to be in the hand of the reader.” Fine and fresh copy. ⧠U. Carrión Quant aux Livres 2008 p. 210. unknown

A scarce exhibition catalogue dedicated to books with rubber-stamped illustrations curated by Ulises Carrión 1941-89. His introduction is printed in Danish and English: “Time pressures didn’t allow for a wide research but I believe that the show includes most if not all the significant artists in this field. Some available catalogues and anthologies have been included because they possess a reasonable coherence in character theme or intentions. These criteria rather than dictionary definitions were also applied when deciding what was to be considered as being ‘a book.’ The show includes quite a number of unbound works; in all cases however they consist of a series of loose works that have been put between the same covers and under a common name. Many of the included items were lent by Aart van Barneveld from the Stempelpaats in Amsterdam.” The exhibition featured the works of Anna Banana Luciano Bartolini Peter van Beveren Cozette de Charmoy Robert Jacks Ray di Palma Pawel Petasz Dieter Roth Ruedi Schill Gabor Toth Dick Walraven etc. A few of the pieces are illustrated. In fine condition. With the stamps of Niels Lomholt’s Lomholt Formular Press and the Other Books and So Archive on the verso of the first leaf. unknown

Best.-Nr. 8079Coated paper with black & white illus. Assen Netherlands: 1982. The rare promotional poster for one of Ulises Carrión’s experimental public installations; the present copy is in particularly fine condition and has not been folded or creased. Entitled The Robbery of the Year this exhibition was designed by the artist as a test of visitors’ self-restraint. A large diamond was placed on a cushion without any enclosure but with a single spotlight trained on it in an otherwise dark room. Visitors were invited to enter the room while a photographer took pictures of the space and the visitors. An expected theft failed to transpire and near the end of the exhibition the photographer was withdrawn. Soon thereafter the diamond disappeared. “De Diefstal van het Jaar was an exhibition of a diamond in which visitors are surreptitiously invited to steal the stone raising interesting questions about viewing and stealing a precious object worthy of public exhibition and evoking images associated with museum heists with subsequent analysis on issues such as the value and ownership of objects on display.”–Guy Schraenen ed. Dear reader. Don’t read. 2016 pp. 44 & 164 pictured. On his series of public experiments Carrión is quoted as saying: “In my work I use all kinds of materials objects processes and people as formal elements. The final result is only partially determined in advance and the process that leads to that point is influenced by all the factors mentioned above. It is a game without fixed rules and with no winners or losers.”–Guy Schraenen ed. “We have won! Haven’t we” 1992 p. 69. In excellent condition. unknown
