2017ref. 209506New York NY: Luhring Augustine 2017. Hardcover. VG. Blue boards with yellow illustration and text. Textblock blue. 184 pp. Features many color and bw illustrations. Four years after his iconic mirror paintings catapulted him to international acclaim Michelangelo Pistoletto took an abrupt left turn with his series the 'Minus Objects'. Comprised of 28 disparate objects-an oversize cardboard rose; an industrial lamp casting green light; a minimalist iron sculpture-the Minus Objects break with the notion of a signature style and are symbolic of infinite creative possibilities. As an ensemble it minimizes the role of authorship permitting each enigmatic object to speak for itself as autonomous and self-sufficient. Pistoletto is one of Italy's most important and influential artists and this book celebrates the creation of the 'Minus Objects' as a radical turning point in postwar sculpture and conceptual art. The installation is represented in double-page spreads and the entire volume is designed to appear as a discrete object itself. Along with Pistoletto's original artist statement and transcripts of conversations about his work this volume brings together critical analyses from some of the leading voices of the contemporary art world. Together the images and texts in this book serve to position the 'Minus Objects' as a work of stunning originality and historical significance. Luhring Augustine hardcover books

1959ref. 16378New York: Dramatists Play Service Inc. Near Fine. c.1959. First Edition. Stapled wraps. very light fading to edges of covers otherwise a nice clean copy with no significant wear. stage diagram A family drama about a marriage gone horribly wrong by this Monroe Louisiana native who had earlier established himself as something of a literary prodigy after graduating from Harvard at age 20. His first novel "Tiger in the Garden" 1950 published when he was just 22 was about the dessicated Louisiana aristocracy from which he himself had emerged; because of its Southern Gothic subject matter and his own reportedly effeminate manner he found himself often compared to Truman Capote. Tennessee Williams said of him "He doesn't write as well as Capote but is more agreeable." He spent much of the Fifties on the fringes of Hollywood society his sister was a voice coach and was married to a screenwriter and drew on that experience for his second novel "The Easter Egg Hunt" 1954. "Comes a Day" was adapted from his own 1950 short story for which he had received an O. Henry Award. The stage version which opened on Broadway in early November 1958 had a ton of top-flight talent involved: production by Cheryl Crawford and Alan Pakula direction by Robert Mulligan and with a cast that included Judith Anderson Brandon de Wilde George C. Scott and Eileen Ryan with young Larry Hagman and Michael J. Pollard in support. The reviews were generally positive with Scott in particularly singled out for his portrayal of a psychopath it was his Broadway debut and one critic called him "the actor of the season thus far" but the play was a box-office flop and closed at the end of the month. The playwright took it hard: he returned to Monroe never published anything else as far as I can determine and lived there until his death in 2011. . Dramatists Play Service Inc. paperback books
