1926ref. CNJL743Munich: Bremer Presse 1926-1928 1926. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Simons Anna. One of 365 copies folio size 5 volumes complete in German. An extraordinary publication by the Bremer Press of the "Martin Luther Bible". Translated by Luther directly from the Greek during his enforced sequestration in Wartburg Castle 1521-22 it was first published in 1545 and he continued to edit and refine his translation up to his death the following year. Translating directly from the Greek was a marked departure for the academics of the day who relied on the Latin Vulgate translation and used Latin for their studies with Greek seldom used or even taught. Luther chose to translate from the Greek into the vernacular German language of the day making the scriptures accessible to everyday people and at the same time providing a vehicle for a more unified German language. The Bremer Press known for its interrelation of scholarship type design and book design has provided a version of the Luther Bible edited by Professor Carl von Kraus 1868-1952 Professor of German Philology at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. n. b. above info from Wiki and Ransom. ___DESCRIPTION: Set of five volumes complete; Volume I: Die Bucher Mose; Volume II: Das Ander Teil des Alten Testaments; Volume III: Das Dritte Teil des Alten Testaments; Volume IV: Die Propheten; and Volume V: Das Neue Testament.

Arranging the flowers and leaves of a wide variety of tulip species on a specialized high-resolution scanner she produces scanograms of intensely brilliant colors and tremendous acuity. As in digital photography the data produced by the scanner are then output onto often very large physical media and mounted behind plexiglass. Simons also stages the tulips as a sort of homage to Baroque Dutch or Flemish still lifes with flowers sometimes suggesting the "tulipomania" in seventeenth-century Holland the ultimately ruinous trade with tulips and their bulbs.

1961ref. 3900281961. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Four photo albums of events in India that contain more than 100 professionally taken images owned by Thomas W. Simons American Counsul General in Madras. Three oblong octavos; one oblong quarto. All appear to be presentations to Simons who appears to be the featured guest or speaker. These were presented by Caltex Oil Company at the Inauguration of the Caltex Oil Refinery at Visakhapatnam 1957; the Lions Club of Kottayam; at Simons' Inaugural Address of the General Council at Anmnamalai University 1961; and the fourth unidentified. Most seem to be professional photos and are artistically mounted. 107 pictures total including seven loose perhaps five or six lacking whether these are the loose ones or not is unclear. Some are captioned. Images include Simons speaking at banquets with local dignitaries many sari-clad dancing girls pictures of Simons in the streets etc. Curiously we could find relatively little about Simons although his son Thomas W. Simons Jr. seems to have made a name for himself as ambassador to Pakistan. hardcover
2001ref. 26417Antwerp: Detlef BVBA 2001. Faint impression mark to the front cover and a hint of smudging to the printed white boards else fine. First Edition. Oblong quarto. 2001 Spring / Summer lookbook of arguably the most important men's collection of the 2000s. In a sparse and minimalist selection of twelve color images Simons anticipates by less than a year the post-9/11 era of anxiety and surveillance. Using stills captured from a video by frequent Simons collaborator and fellow Academy alumnus Willy Vanderperre; grainy uneasy images of young men on a concrete basketball court wearing balaclavas and hoods. Simons had long been fascinated by presenting his clothing via video; his first collection F/W 95 was a video recording of street models instead of live runway. The anxious threatening mood of this lookbook and artists' book is one of the final and best instances of pre-millennial anxiety in art and fashion. Antwerp: Detlef BVBA unknown books
2005ref. 11482Fondazione Pitti Discovery / Edizioni Charta 2005. First Edition First Printing. Hardcover. Fine. Fondazione Pitti Discovery / Edizioni Charts in 2005. Hardcover with tipped in plate to front cover title blind stamped below tipped in image with the opaque acetate dust jacket. Unpaginated with 224 pages filled with black and white and color images throughout by photographer Collier Schorr. BOOK CONDITION: Fine; a solid tight clean copy in a Near Fine dust jacket showing light toning to panel margins and spine light soiling wrinkling to panels and diiscoloration along spine and rear joint now protected by a clear mylar cover. Overall a nice solid copy of a rare and highly collectible book with the original fragile dust jacket often found in lesser condition. Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons' clothes are both inspired by and designed for confident male outsiders. His references to youth movements like punk goth and mod are not meant to be retro; instead Simons tries to translate their energy and determination into modern statements about mental independence. Yet although they are impeccably cut and created with love and care clothes are not at the core of Simons' universe. More important to this cult stylist are attitudes moods and statements. Music art performance images and words have each been a starting point for his designs and in an attempt to examine today's male psyche Simons takes his inspiration from the rebellion of past and present youth cultures blending these notions with tradition and roots. This book--published on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of Simons's work--presents both a wide range of the intellectual and creative aspects of the designer's work that have sealed his position at the top of fashion's roster.
