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. 280 pages; 170 illustrations. -- with a bonus offer--; Like his fellow Pop painters Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein Mel Ramos born 1935 derives the motifs for his work from mass media and advertising. In bold and immediately recognizable canvases he unites consumer goods with idealized pin-up girls modeled after magazine images dating from the 1950s and 1960s. Ramos immortalizes these models' lascivious poses by entwining them with the featured products in what he calls "commercial pin-ups." This monograph illustrates and discusses many of these works but also provides insight into the artist's multifaceted oeuvre by presenting more than 100 works from his first portraits of people comic heroes and heroines and his prominent pin-up girls to his latest works from the Galatea series. Celebrating the artist's 75th birthday this catalogue accompanies a major European retrospective the first to unite Ramos' drawings paintings and sculptures. . 2010. 3775725318 .

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 280 pp. ; 182 ills. -- with a bonus offer--; Art & Language is the name of a group of English artists who have spent their careers some 40 years working collectively and are best known as forerunners to the current revival of collective work. Art & Language is also the title of their eponymous magazine founded in 1968. Both the group and the publication center on critical analysis of the relationships between art society and politics. In varied media from painting to rock these cofounders of conceptual art remain even today attentive observers of the after-effects of what they themselves call the "depressing collapse of modernism." Homes from Homes II is built around the major installation of the same title 2000-2001. Each element is described annotated and put in the context of aesthetic theoretical and political problematics through extended captions and essays by the artists who question the notions of conservation of institutional politics and the relation between art and its institutions. . 2006. 3905701561 .

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 340 pp. ; 35 illus. -- with a bonus offer--; Wesleyan Film; Paul Mazursky's nearly twenty films as writer/director represent Hollywood's most sustained comic expression of the 1970s and 1980s. But they have not been given their due perhaps because Mazursky's films--both sincere and ridiculous realistic and romantic--are pure emotion. This makes films like Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice An Unmarried Woman and Enemies A Love Story difficult to classify but that's what makes a human comedy human. In the first ever book-length examination of one of America's most important and least appreciated filmmakers Sam Wasson sits down with Mazursky himself to talk about his movies and how he makes them. Going over Mazursky's oeuvre one film at a time interviewer and interviewee delve into the director's life in and out of Hollywood laughing talking and above all else feeling--like Mazursky's people always do. The book includes a filmography and never-before-seen photos. . 2011. 0819571431 . Wesleyan hardcover

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 80 pp. ; 57 illus. -- with a bonus offer--; Mel Bochner born 1940 coined some of Postminimalist and Conceptual art's most characteristic strategies--the gallery as subject language as material the photo documentation of works as the work itself the appropriation of ephemeral materials by other artists--and directed those strategies towards a radical excavation of all that had been rendered peripheral to art's content. In the mid- to late 1960s Bochner became deeply involved with photography producing a groundbreaking group of photographs that hover tantalizingly between painting and photography. Mel Bochner: Photographs and Not Photographs presents reproductions of these early works as well as the artist's classic 1970 essay "Misunderstandings A Theory of Photography" and a selection of wall drawings and paintiings. Bochner has collaborated closely on the design of this beautifully produced volume the cover of which is made of sturdy plexiglas. . 2010. 1881337286 . Gallery hardcover

1962ref. 002863Grosset & Dunlap Publishers 1962 64 p. sm. 4to. Publisher's black paper hardcover white stamped title on spine and front board black/white photo illustrated endpapers with text interspersed with black/white plates matte black/white dust jacket. Blue ink gift inscription on the dedication page reads "Mel - Meet me in Las Vegas - your job of a lifetime awaits you dear. Frankie Baby." Measures: .31 W x 7.5 D x 10 H inches. Provenance: Northern California Estate. In 1943 Mel Tormé 1925-1999 made his movie debut in Frank Sinatra's 1915-1998 first film the musical Higher and Higher. Both their stars were on the rise. But once the 1960s hit Tormé's career at least on records started to quickly decline as Sinatra became an uber celebrity. Part of how Sinatra used his celebrity power was by promoting other artists notably Black performers in the 1960s in Las Vegas such as Sammy Davis Jr. 1925-1990 one of his Rat Pack. After Frank Sinatra left his 1950s residency at the Desert Inn he began performing at the Copa Room Sands Hotel in the 1960s. The book's gift inscription suggests a probable reference to Las Vegas residency opportunities such as Mel Tormé's opening act for Rich Little's 1938- residency at the Sands Hotel among others. For instance Sammy Davis Jr. once allowed Mel Tormé to open for his Las Vegas act but he soon discovered that Mel's show was too hard to follow. The audience was totally spent by the time Sammy got on stage. Anyway that was the story told by a Vegas gambler. Wiki Mel Tormé: Best Male Jazz Vocalist Content: An intimate portrait of Sinatra the entertainer Sinatra the millionaire entrepreneur Sinatra the pal - every facet of an enigmatic personality is explored. About the author: Robin Douglas-Home 1932-1968 was a British aristocrat jazz pianist journalist and leading society figure during the 1950s and 1960s. Douglas-Home met Sinatra in London and was struck by how far the public image missed the mark. He and Sinatra hit it off. Sinatra invited him back to the US where he tagged along for two whole months. The outcome is this provocative study an analysis of a latterday phenomenon - the one the only Frank Sinatra.

Catalogue Raisonné Catalogue Raisonne Catalog Raisonnee Complete Works -- with a bonus offer-- - May be EITHER: out of print OOP and extremely rare in this pristine condition; signed by author or contributor; or a first or special edition; inquire for details; In 1961 Mel Ramos emerged on the international art scene along with Warhol Liechtenstein Oldenburg Wesselmann and Rosenquist as part of the second post-war American art movement to gain historical importance: pop art. More than 470 of Ramos' greatest paintings and drawings are reproduced in this comprehensive survey. Ramos is among the most vigorously American and most strikingly "pop" of all the pop art artists. Ramos' indentification with pop art began with his portraits of the great costumed heroes of pre-Code comics books. From Batman and others Ramos went on to explore the world of the pinup and nudes derived from men's magazines such as Playboy Penthouse and "girlie" calendars. His well-known series of nudes comment ironically on the picture of women projected by the mass media and consumer advertising and at the same time wittily suggest its antecedents in the tradition of the nude in Western art. . 2004. 0823040933 .
