Best.-Nr. 404935New York: Harry N. Abrams 1979. A near-fine copy in a like jacket pale stain to cloth on upper panel the jacket with minute wear. Square 4to 8 x 8 inches; 203 x 203 mm. 48 pages. Full-page color offset prints. Original cloth; dust jacket. FIRST EDITION inscribed by Lewitt on the front free endpaper in pencil to "Ann." Uncommon in the cloth-bound issue and especially so when signed. Lewitt conceptually explores: "Circle Square Triangle Rectangle Trapezoid and Parallelogram in Red Yellow and Blue on Red Yellow and Blue." The book is divided into three sections each of which differ by background color. Barbara M. Reise wrote that "LeWitt's colours like his lines and squares are like 'facts': they are inert pre-established accepted and un-emotional man-made constructs which can 'come to life' within a present context but do not necessarily do so. Red yellow blue and black and the white of wall or paper are standard "absolute primaries basic to all pigment colour – that is according to the colour system accepted by an art academic from early 19th-century theorists like Chevreul. Unlike the Newtonian rainbow-spectrum based on light-waves this theoretical structure is more conceptually mathematical and tautological than referential to some exterior and inhuman Nature. LeWitt's use of these colours is as flatly complete physical and self-reflective as the theory itself. Unlike Seurat whose use of the same colour theories was subordinated and interrelated to other interests in proportion theories and seen scene subject-matter LeWitt uses colour as both the subject and the object of his art" in: 'Sol Lewitt Critical Texts' ed.

Best.-Nr. CNAP067San Francisco: The Arion Press 2003. Limited Edition. Hardcover. New. LeWitt Sol. Square 10 7/8" by 10" 128 unnumbered pages. The type is 24-point Deepdene handset with smaller sizes in Monotype composition by Mackenzie & Harris for subsidiary matter. The drawings were scanned to make negatives for photopolymer plates. The paper is Pescia a mould-made sheet from the Magnani mill in Italy. The binding done in-house is hand-sewn in full gray cloth printed by letterpress with a design that is an enlarged reference to elements in the artist's drawings and titled on the front back and spine. The volume is enclosed in a darker gray cloth slipcase that features the same front and spine titling as on the book. The volume is signed by both the poet and the artist. This was the first of two volumes of Heaney's poetry published by Arion Press the second being "Stone From Delphi" 2012. Seamus Heaney 1939-2013 was lecturing at the University of California Berkeley in 1999. Through Helen Vendler we invited him to come to San Francisco to visit Arion Press and have lunch with us on South Park. On February 9 he arrived bearing a present a copy of the manuscript of a translation he had just made of a Pushkin poem about the legendary poet Arion who in Ovid's "Metamorphoses" is saved from the sea by a dolphin. We printed the poem as a keepsake for Arion subscribers in 2002. Hoyem proposed to Heaney that Arion Press publish a deluxe limited edition of his forthcoming translation of "Beowulf" with facing Old English. His publishers Faber & Faber and Farrar Straus & Giroux had intended to use only the translation. Heaney took the idea back to his publishers and they agreed to add the Old English text which obviated the rationale for the limited edition. Vendler prevailed upon Heaney to allow us to instead produce a limited edition of his most important series of poems "Squarings". Hoyem approached Sol LeWitt 1928-2007 to do four prints for the four sections of twelve poems each. Instead the artist offered to do forty-eight drawings one for each of the poems as squares with underlying patterns and overlying scribbles. Please note that this copy is marked as "Display I" but is still in as-new condition. ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
