"As the first extensive exhibition in Turkey to showcase the works of leading 20th-century sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti, (1901-1966) in a retrospective approach, reveals his artistic career, most of which was spent at his studio in Paris, Montparnasse, through a range of works that extend from his earlier to latest oeuvre, including an unfinished piece. In the course of his career, which he began at a very young age, Giacometti turned from Neo-Impressionist influences to post-Cubist and Surrealist creations. Compelled to search for an exploration of the reality of a human form, he was expelled from the Surrealist movement of which he was a part for some time and, until his death, embarked upon a solitary adventure with the human figure in his repeatedly produced sculptures and paintings. The heads and slender, elongated figures he worked on at his small studio culminated in countless works in his quest to depict reality not as it is but as he was seeing it. Exhibition catalogue presents works by the artist, centered on the two most defining periods, namely pre- and post-World War II, in Giacometti's artistic career, and also sheds light upon the artist's infinite quest through his own writings, interview and essays.".

réf. 26504Without date or place but between 1988 when the events described occurred in South Africa and the publication of the book in 1990. 113pp. 8vo. On 57 leaves stapled together with white card backing. No title-page. Worn and aged with first leaf detached but in fair condition overall. In 1988 in Maputo Mozambique where Sachs was exiled as an ANC activist he lost an arm and his sight in one eye when a bomb was placed in his car by agents acting for the South African Regime. Sach's memoir is an important document in the history of the South African freedom struggle. Widely praised on its publication it received the Alan Paton Award in 1991. In the book's introduction Bishop Desmond Tutu praises it as 'a deeply moving account - so utterly frank revealing his vulnerable self warts and all. It is so beautiful almost poetic in describing the sense of his body his sheer physicality the role women have played in helping him come in touch with his body helping him to become whole.' In an introduction to the 2011 edition Njabulo S. Ndebele describes it as a 'South African gift to the world'. The present item exhibits minor differences throughout from the published version with small changes to the text and some rearrangement for example a passage in Chapter 22 regarding the trade unionist John Nkadimeng and is probably the version that was first offered to a publisher. The published version reworks and expands certain parts for example a paragraph in Chapter 5 on a flashback Sachs didn't have at the time of the explosion and a passage in Chapter 7 regarding his friend 'Gita'. For example in the very first paragraph 'instantly' in the typescript is replaced by 'abruptly' in the published version; 'something terrible' by 'a terrible thing'; 'tremendous sharp' by 'shuddering'; and 'suddenly' is deleted. From a South African emigre's archive. Without date or place, but between 1988, when the events described occurred in South Africa, and the publication of the book in unknown

Binding slightly worn with mild damp stains on the right margin of the front board one page detached several photos age-toned and with mild silvering but overall a very good album with strong interesting photos. Historically significant album of rare original gelatin silver photographs taken and collected during the Nordvik-Khatanga Soviet Oil Exploration Expedition in 1939-1940. The compiler took part in the expedition together with his wife “Sonkes” who according to the photographs was head of a tailor's workshop at the expedition base camp in Nordvik. Neither reports nor official photographs from the expedition were found through our research of digital archives and libraries. The expedition organized by the USSR’s Main Directorate of the Northern Sea Route at the onset of WWII aimed to study the oil potential of Nordvik Bay. A team of polar explorers set sail from Arkhangelsk on a steamship accompanied by a cargo convoy and powerful icebreakers. Navigating through the Yugorsky Shar Strait the expedition made several stops at Dixon Melyuskin and Vstrechny Islands before establishing its base in Nordvik Bay. Despite extensive operations drilling at Nordvik over the next seasons proved largely unsuccessful revealing only small oil pockets with little commercial value. The album contains 130 lively vernacular photographs from the 1939-1940 expedition including eight well-executed photos of the expedition base camp and its premises the general view of the settlement main street local bathhouse and canteen. About ten photographs portray construction works as the team members attempted to build rotor No. 2. The images depict the site of the rotor “the beginning of the work” workers pulling out a tankette from snow digging and using special equipment. There are also about a dozen photographs showing the general view of rotor No. 1 - “the first in the world in Arctic conditions” “a boiler room for rotor No. 1” “a rotor drilling rig No. 1 with machinery room” “steam winch 250 hp for rotor No. 1” “oil drilling rigs” “general view of a coal mine” etc. At least forty lively candid photographs show the expedition members mostly the compiler and his wife sewing at a tailor’s workshop resting after work feeding dogs and posing by a tankette on sleds in tents at a meteorological station by the storage room near the assembly crane etc. Especially interesting are five photos of a fire at a local hospital documenting the funeral of deceased polar explorers and the compiler standing solemnly beside the victims’ camp. There are also about ten candid individual and group portraits of local Yakuts showing “Sonkes with a young Yakut woman” “Yakut Family and Sonkes” “Yakut Man with a Purchase” young Yakut women in a school reading books and Yakut fishermen posing by their camp. The other interesting photos portray the expedition members at the October and May rallies with “Sonkes” clearly visible in the crowd four and two-engine seaplanes at Cape Kosisty “bird market on Vstrechny Island” steamships “Stalingrad” “Dixon” etc. and icebreakers “Ermak” “Litke” etc. from the expedition etc. The album closes with the general views of the bank of the Khatanga River the town Igarka and the Krasnoyarsk pillars.
