This WWII-era pamphlet is "an attack on anti-Semitism in the U.S. as treasonable as a propaganda spearhead of Hitlerism. The Nazi formula is to discredit the Jews identify them with the main objectives under attack and follow with physical assault. National unity is necessary for victory." - Seidman V-1. "Today anti-Negro and anti-Semitic incitements are powerful weapons being used by the enemy both within and without our country to wreck our plans for victory over the fascist Axis. These incitements against racial and national minorities are an attempt to salvage fascism for a postwar America further to enslave our people. This work will help to meet this challenge." - Samuel Patterson National Organizer IWO.

ref. 149210Detroit: 1980. The Omniverse Jet-Set Arkestra lands in Detroit Scarce poster for Sun Ra's week-long residency at the Detroit Jazz Center in late December 1980. The Arkestra played eleven concerts and the shows were organized and soundboard-recorded by Rick Steiger a collaborator of Detroit-based poet and political activist John Sinclair; in 2008 the results were issued in a limited edition boxed set of 28 CDs on the Transparency label. "Either a fearsome avant-gardist or a traditionalist in the line of Fletcher Henderson for whom he arranged early in his career. The truth about Sun Ra is that he was both those things. The man born Herman 'Sonny' Blount in Alabama grew up steeped in the blues. Even when he founded his famous Arkestra with its theatrical approach to jazz and became a leading presence on the Chicago improvisation scene his work was always grounded in melody and in blues changes. Sun Ra's claim to come from Saturn was one of the great metaphors of Black American music" Cook & Morton. Listening to the music from these Detroit sessions is an extraordinary experience the band veering seamlessly from free jazz to moments of tight ensemble playing that resemble Ellington mixing original numbers with standards including a glorious version of Bob Haggart and Johnny Burke's 1939 evergreen "What's New>". Apposite indeed.

ref. 18929New York : Tanglewood Press 1977. Quarto lettered card wrappers pp. 30 photographic illustrations of a brick wall at different times of day in different light. Presentation copy signed and inscribed on the title page in pencil 'For William Sol Lewitt'. A fine copy. 'As a co-founder of Printed Matter in the 1970s Lewitt was a crucial proponent of the artist book as a legitimate and compelling artistic medium advocating the fact that it provides artists with a relatively inexpensive means of exposing their work to a diverse and expansive audience. The artist book became a critical part of Lewitt’s own practice which in many ways focused on deconstructing notions of individual authorship and working collaboratively with other individuals to produce the final work. This book of thirty black and white photographs of a brick wall at different times of the day reflects Lewitt’s interest in Edward Muybridge’s photographic studies of humans and animals in motion as well as his ongoing investigation of serial systems and modular repetition.' - Printed Matter website https://www.printedmatter.org/catalog/tables/74/842 Copies are held major collections of artists books including at The Met the National Gallery of Australia Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 192 pp. ; 108 illus. 76 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; Sol LeWitt 1928–2007 renowned for his role in establishing Conceptualism and Minimalism as dominant art movements in the postwar era is perhaps best known for his masterful and brilliantly colored wall drawings. Throughout his career however LeWitt also created many remarkable three-dimensional works suitable for display in outdoor settings. In this handsome publication which accompanies the first major career survey of LeWitt's "structures" the artist's modular works are traced from their simplest manifestation in a single large-scale cube through multiple variations with examples from the 1960s through the 1990s. Works from the 1980s onward explore the three-dimensional possibilities of diverse geometric forms such as stars and the introduction of new materials including concrete block and fiberglass stimulating experimentation with non-geometric irregular forms on an increasing scale. The book includes essays by Nicholas Baume and Joe Madura that provide curatorial and critical context for the structures. Additional essays by Rachel Haidu Anna Lovatt and Kirsten Swenson offer fresh art-historical commentary ranging from the problematic of site for LeWitt's initial structures to the relationship between abstract conceptual systems architecture and urban space. Also included is a never before published conversation among the artist Baume and Jonathan Flatley. Stunning color plates record the works on display in Lower Manhattan's City Hall Park supplemented by archival and historical documentation. . 2012. 0300178611 . Other Distribution hardcover

A pioneer of artist's books and co-founder of New York's Printed Matter bookstore in 1976 LeWitt is closely identified with the book as an art form. Starting with 1967's Serial Project No. 1 from Aspen magazine and closing with Chicago Morning Star Publications 2002 this book reproduces covers and spreads from Sol LeWitt's massive oeuvre of artist's books almost all of which are now rarities. As artist's book historian Clive Phillpot notes "the principle attribute of LeWitt's books is one common to all books: a dependence upon sequence whether of families of marks or objects or of single or permuted series which have clear beginnings and endings." Critical observations from LeWitt himself and a variety of scholars make this volume the most sustained treatment of LeWitt's prolific activity in this area to date. . 2010. 8890345926 .

M. Pei has said of his own directions for drawings executed by collaborators that "The contribution brought by the draftsman may not be predicted by the artist even when the artist is also the draftsman." This separation of the plan the written score for a work from its execution and the finished piece lies at the center of the work for which LeWitt is best known whose execution he entrusts to strangers. Wall Drawings tracks the creation of one recent work beginning with the plan so spare that it looks as though it might have arrived at the gallery by fax and continuing through to a schematic drawing on the wall then figures on stepladders drawing intently their faces clear but their pencils blurred. Close-ups of their scribbles and images of the completed work are followed by a picture of the triumphant cast a curtain call. . 2006. 8889431598 . Damiani paperback
