1965rif. 48531Lewiston Maine: Inter-Continental Inc 1965. First edition. Very good. Rare program for Muhammad Ali's legendary rematch against Sonny Liston signed as "Muhammad Ali" shortly before the bout only a year after he took the name - and additionally signed by three other heavyweight champs present at Ali's training camp: Joe Louis Jim Braddock and Jersey Joe Walcott. Ali's swift and crushing defeat of Sonny Liston in the first round of their second title fight in May of 1965 remains not only one of the most iconic moments of Ali's storied career and of boxing history - but also in all of sports. An almost 2-1 underdog Ali's knockout after less than two minutes was famously captured in photographer Neil Leifer's legendary image of Ali towering over the fallen Liston. It remains one of the greatest sports photographs ever taken. The fight's status today however is belied in many ways by the humble circumstances of its original context. Postponed due to Ali's hernia surgery it was then rescheduled in the small industrial Maine town of Lewiston - partially because it was the one of the few arenas procurable on short notice but also because major venues were reluctant to be associated with Ali who was increasingly seen as a draft dodger. The fight was sparsely attended: by most accounts only about 2500 of the roughly 4500 seats in the Lewiston high school hockey rink were filled that night. Thus surviving examples of this program are scarce. Prior to the bout Ali had holed up at the Schine Inn in Chicopee MA to train talk to the media and receive well-wishers. On May 20 1965 five days before the fight he hosted three fellow champions: the "Brown Bomber" Joe Louis Jim Braddock and Jersey Joe Walcott who would also be the referee for the match where all four of these signatures were gathered the original owner noting as much above the signatures of Louis Braddock and Walcott. The program also reflects the confusion controversy and outright resistance surrounding Ali's recent name change. At the start of the fight itself the boxer was booed by the Lewiston crown when the ring announcer introduced him as "Muhammad Ali." Ali is referred to throughout the program as both Cassius Clay and Muhammad Ali and sometimes both at once. Ali had taken the name only the previous years after an address by Elijah Muhammad conferred him with the honorific meaning "most high one worthy of praise". This signature therefore represents one of the verifiably earliest "Muhammad Ali" autographs - and on the program and at the training camp for one of his most famous matches. A rare document linking Ali not only to the great Black boxers who immediately preceded him but capturing him at the very cusp of his popular transformation from heavyweight champion to civil rights leader anti-war activist and ultimately legendary humanitarian. A totemic object from the career of one of the 20th century's most famous important and influential figures. 11'' x 8.5''. Original black-and-white pictorial wrappers with red and blue elements saddle-stapled. Illustrated in black and white. 8 leaves. Signed by Ali in blue ink to verso of first leaf over his image. Additionally signed by Joe Louis James Braddock and Jersey Joe Walcott to blank verso of third leaf below the holograph caption likely original owner's: "The Schine Inn / May 20 1965." Wrapper with a bit of toning tiny area of discoloration to lower staple; careful narrow glue repair to upper spine very close inspection only. Leaves with a touch of toning. Else clean and sound.

2013rif. 227562Gottingen: Steidl 2013. Rilegato tela con tavola applicata al piatto anteriore original full cloth with inlay to front cover. Perfetto Mint. 27 fotografie in bianco e nero di Henry Wessel. Cm 295 x 295. pp. 60. Perfetto Mint. Prima edizione First Edition. Nel 2012 Wessel ha messo insieme Incidents un libro di 27 fotografie inedite. Decisivo e succinto ogni incidente è disposto con l'immediatezza estetica di un'istantanea. Come ha dichiarato Wessel in una recente intervista: "Possiamo riconoscere e nominare ciò che è stato descritto ma non ciò che è appena accaduto non ciò che sta accadendo non ciò che sta per accadere. Una volta che si accetta l'idea che tutte le fotografie sono finzioni analogie per le cose che rappresentano allora si è più ricettivi al significato che viene suggerito da quella analogia da quella finzione. Per essere più specifici le fotografie riguardano qualcosa che non esisterebbe senza la fotografia". Steidl, hardcover

2017rif. 228373Gottingen: Steidl 2017. Rilegato tela sovracoperta cloth dust jacket. Ottimo Fine. Photographs Taken Near the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant 1979-1983. Prefazione all'edizione 2017. Postfazione all'edizione 1983 di Robert Adams e 104 fotografie in bianco e nero. 8vo cm 27x235. pp. 128. Ottimo Fine. Prima edizione Steidl First Steidl Edition. Un giorno all'inizio degli anni '70 Robert Adams e sua moglie videro dalla loro casa una colonna di fumo salire sopra l'impianto di armi nucleari di Rocky Flats vicino a Denver in Colorado. Per un'ora hanno guardato crescere il pennacchio di fumo cercando senza successo di sapere se l'incendio avesse coinvolto il plutonio radioattivo ed estremamente tossico e provando un senso di impotenza di fronte a quello che sembrava essere un incidente nucleare in corso. Alla fine fu annunciato che l'incendio stava bruciando al sicuro fuori dall'impianto ma Adams deciso di provare a immaginare quanto di valore - di valore assoluto - sarebbe andato perso in una catastrofe nucleare. Adams ha fotografato Our Lives and Our Children a Denver e nei suoi sobborghi; gli individui mostrati si trovavano in una pericolosa vicinanza allo stabilimento di Rocky Flats. Il loro pericolo è rappresentativo tuttavia di una minaccia più ampia per tutti noi derivante dalle armi nucleari una minaccia che continua in forme diverse fino ad oggi. La nuova edizione Steidl di Our Lives and Our Children presenta una sequenza ampliata di immagini che conserva la potente compattezza della ricercata prima edizione fuori stampa da quasi tre decenni pur esprimendo fedelmente le tonalità corpose delle stampe originali di Adams.

2006rif. 227796Gottingen: Steidl 2006. Brossura custodia wrappers slip-case. Perfetto Mint. 5 Volumi. Testi e fotografie a colori e in bianco e nero di Henry Wessel. Cm 25x255. pp. 154. Perfetto Mint. . Le fotografie in questi cinque libri rappresentano uno sforzo per descrivere il paesaggio vernacolare contemporaneo della California meridionale e dell'Ovest americano. Dai suoi primi lavori negli anni '70 alla sua serie più recente a Las Vegas 2000-2004 l'arguzia e l'intuizione di Wessel illuminano un mondo ricco di sfumature umorismo e ironia. Negli ultimi 30 anni Henry Wessel ha osservato e registrato l'insolito e l'iconico incorniciato dalla luce e dal paesaggio del West. Fotografando in bianco e nero gli infiniti punti di fuga di una strada del deserto o il corridoio di un hotel opulento e dorato a Las Vegas Wessel trova in ognuno di essi una metafora della terra dove la gente va a scomparire e ad assumere nuove identità. Case anonime cactus scultorei e frequentatori della spiaggia di Waikiki sono catturati in tutta la loro imperscrutabilità da sfingi. Il risultato di questa ricerca è un cofanetto con 5 volumi ognuno dedicato a un tema particolare: "California and the West" "Odd Photos" "Las Vegas" "Real Estate Photographs" e "Night Walk".
