(Muehl, Otto)
AA (Actions-Analytic) Kommune
Vienna: AA Verlages, 1975
48.5 x 69 cm yellow and red poster displaying information on courses, books, postal service etc. alongside a photograph of the art commune. Muehl founded the group at the end of the Weinese Aktionists' public activities as a means to creating an environment where art and life would be lived as one: an experiment which failed sixteen years later with the charismatic artist himself later being gaoled for seriously abusing his responsibilities towards other commune members (a charge vigorously disputed by some members) and public acrimony between other factions within the community. Scarce early documentation. Previously folded otherwise very good.

AA NEWS 1/76
Austria: AA Kommune, 1976
29 x 20.5cm, 40pp. The second number of this propagandising journal of the commune formed by Muhl after he left the Viennese Aktionists. Later he was jailed for seriously abusing his leadership of the group � but in 1976 the group was united and this publication written in English with many b/w photographs of the commune�s activities (including their free sexuality) was designed to bring new converts to the group. Mild browning due to the cheap paper internally and some minor tears at the bottom of the spine, this is still overall very good.

VARIOUS DOCUMENTS FROM PERFORMANCES OF NIGHT CROSSING
Three different ephemeral items from various performances of "Night Sea crossing" from the "second period" of Abramovic's work when she was partnered for the most part by Ulay. Night Sea Crossing was a work performed often during the early 70s where the two artists sat at a table opposite each other for long periods of time (often days) without eating, drinking or conversing (and sometimes joined by Bhuddist monks and/or representatives of the Aboriginal peoples). A key work for Abramovic introducing for the first time mysticism and extensive meditation which often features in her later work. Here we offer: a 40. 5x 26 cm, offset exhibition poster for the performance in Toronto, A Space, 1982; a folded 2pp full colour invitation card with a reproduced Abramovic abstract mandella from an Amsterdam performance in 1983; and the same show's 15.5 x 10.5cm, 12pp full colour exhibition catalogue with 2 full colour and 2 b/w images and text in Dutch and English.

Ackling, Roger
HELPING HAND (THE POSTMASTER OF ENADETE, LEWIS). UNIQUE OBJECT. April 1980.
70 x 64cm approximately, mixed media - lithograph, etched wood, blu-tac, glass, metal. A unique sculptural object produced by Ackling for a Coracle/Lisson gallery show in London. The artist created 8 different objects out of found wood/bones where he etched marks using the sun and other indirect methods. (Each of the eight objects was dedicated to a different person encountered during Ackling's time on the Scottish Outer Hebridian islands). To coincide with the exhibition, Ackling created an artist's book in an edition of 170 copies with an offset cover and 22 additional copies with the covers in the form of a 40+-colour screenprint at the exact size of each object, diecut and tipped onto the cover. During the exhibition and launch of the bookwork, 8 unique sculptures were created by Ackling - substituting each of the objects in place of its representation in the silkscreen print on the top of the framed glass (by the use of humble blu-tac!) to create 8 original, unique works. It is one of the latter unique copies that we offer here. Signed and dated. Fine estate. Full provenance available.

13 MAILED 100 BOOTS POSTCARDS BY ELEANOR ANTIN IN VERY GOOD CONDITION
Solana Beach, California /NYC, s,p, (Antin) and NYC, MOMA, 1971-1973
Thirteen separate mailed postcards from the series 100 Boots (51 cards were sent in all firstly by Antin and later under the imprint of the NY MOMA once the "Boots had entered the Gallery". Humorous and accessible conceptual mail art - the 100 Boots were an immediate success even if some of the recipients were somewhat surprised to receive the first of the cards. Nonetheless period concerns with the Vietnam War and unemployment can be discerned from the images on the cards creating a radical postal art form for the early 1970s. Uniformly 11.4 x 17.8 cm with a single image recto and mailing information on the reverse these are all copies posted at the time by Antin with two of the postal addresses written in her own hand (in fact until late on in the series all the early cards were sent out by Antin herself with additional help in the mundane task only coming later - finally with the NYC Museum of Modern Art taking over the task once the cards became part of an exhibition in 1973). The cards offered here are: 100 Boots in the Bush June 19 1971 100 Boots under the Bridge July 26 1971 100 Boots in the street Feb 15 1972 100 Boots on the Job Feb 15 1972 100 Boots Boarding June 13 1972 100 Boots in the saloon June 13 1972 100 Boots take it June 22 1972 100 Boots over the Hill June 24 1972 100 Boots move on June 24 1972 100 Boots try again June 24 1972 100 Boots on the March July 6 1972 100 Boots down July 6 1972 100 Boots visit the Egyptian Gardens may 15 1973 All are in very good condition bearing in mind the mailed aspect of this material.

Barney, Nathalie (aka Natalie Barney)
TWO SMALL HANDWRITTEN REPLY CARDS
Two printed name/address cards - "MISS BARNEY" - respectively 6.5 x 9.7cm and 5.5 x 9.5cm both with extensive handwritten replies by Barney. The first is dated 20 octobre '32 and has an extensive (given the size of the card) 150 word, neatly written, signed note which discusses an article about Remy de Gourmont, who was famously in love with her and first nicknamed her "the Amazon". The card has the printed address "20, rue jacob" the address of Barney's famous salon which hosted almost all of Paris' avant garde and literary world at some point. The second note (22 juin '63) - in a slightly older and shakier hand - discusses theatre projects. Both cards are in fine condition and are scarce documents relating to the life of the legendary American heiress and poetess (1876-1972) who led an openly lesbian lifestyle in the "crazy years" of Paris caring nothing for the scandal.

(Belgium Surrealism/Cobra/Broodthaers)
LA CAUSE EST ENTENDUE
Paris: La Groupe Surrealisme Revolutionnaire, 1947
43.5 x 27cm, 1pp black on cream paper. The most important manifesto of the group � published in Breton�s own Paris and almost certainly written by Christian Dotremont (although some suggest Broodthaers) � was signed by a number of dissident French surrealists including Suzan Allen, Noel Arnaud, Max Buccaille, Edouard Jaguer, Tibor as well as most of the Belgium Surrealist Group which included Marcel Broodthaers alongside Paul Bourgoignie, Irene Hamoir, and Louis Scutenaire and others. The document publicly criticised the French Surrealist group for losing its way � and on the later signing of the document by Asgar Jorn, Joseph Noiret , Constant, Corneille and Karel Appel began the irreversable move towards Cobra and the eventual forming of the International Situationists. The title translates as "The case is heard". Folded and a little browned but this is a rare example of a fragile and very important document.

The article is illustrated with a photograph of Max Buccaille, Dotremont, Noel Arnaud, Josef Istler and Asgar Jorn announcing the joint International Declaration. This was a key moment in art � effectively setting up the beginnings of Cobra and much later the International Situationists. Internally there is an original lithograph by Jorn and a collage by Buccaille as well as a poem by Eduard Jageur, a text by Arnaud on Queneau and declarations by each of the consenting groups including a text by Jorn outlining the Danish position.

BEUYS RARE FIRST CATALOGUE WITH UNIQUE PENCIL ADDITIONS BY KONRAD FISCHER

Beuys, Joseph
FLUXUS
Kranenburg: Niederrhein, 1963
20 x 20 cm. 26pp (unpaginated) Exhibition catalogue of early Beuys� work- there are 11 b/w reproductions here � much of which was created under the "Fluxus" label although later Beuys repudiated the leadership of Maciunas and claimed his Fluxus work was always aside from that of the general movement�s. Text in German by the important collectors Franz Josef and Hans van der Grinten. This is one of only 500 numbered copies and is rare in any condition as it is Beuys� very first catalogue - it lists works dated from 1947 � 1963 and reproduces images of the earliest Beuys� objects. The importance of this book is further enhanced by the modification of a photo of Beuys by the famous gallerist Konrad Fischer (Fischer was also an artist working under the name of "Konrad Lueg" albeit this is an aspect of his life is often down-played or forgotten in favour of his role as a promoter of the arts) by adding some pencil lines to the portrait of Beuys. This book originally comes from Fischer�s collection. Near fine.

CURRICULUM
n.p. (Amsterdam): n.p. (FIU?), n.d. (c.1980) Uniformly 30 x 21cm, ten separate xerox pages and an unprinted back cover. The programme for a Beuys public lecture - the agenda is on the first page and the other 9 pages reproduce photographs of the artist and his works. Perhaps the choice of so many photographs of the artist and his works relative to limited text in this publication shows how Beuys's stature amongst the younger generation of artist-activists led his reproduced image to become almost as worshiped as that of an icon. Fine.

15 YEARS EDITIONS RENE BLOCK
Edinburgh/ Berlin: Richard Demarco/Rene Block, 1981
25 x 16.5cm silkscreen ring binder content of 53 printed inserts (all ring-punched as issued), many of the inserts are fold-outs. Forty- eight different multiples each published by Block are reproduced each with a complete description and photograph (in b/w). Not only a useful reference � but a reminder of how important Block�s production was � many of the key avent garde works of the 60s and 70s were distributed by him � including significant works by Broodthaers, On Kawara, Roth, Beuys, Vostell, Palermo, Filliou, Polke and others. This copy has sadly fallen into the hands of an enthusiastic but ill-informed critic who has left extensive notes over the short essays at the front of the document and the odd (frankly pathetic) comment on the insert pages � but the document is still very useful and worth reading. Text in English. Condition is otherwise very good but this is priced to take into account the former owner�s witterings.

18 x 13 cm. cardboard box containing a 42cm sq. white cotton handkerchief with the embroidered signature of the artist in brown thread. The attachment of the name to the object is both a conceptual indirect personalisation of an artwork (the use of cotton is metaphoric of the more usual canvas) and the raising of a mundane object to a higher status.

Boetti, Alighiero
DOSSIER POSTALE
Torino, Castelli, 1969.
Folder with texts for an imaginary journey. From the edition of 99 signed and numbered copies. A historically significant work within conceptual and mail art by the Arte Povera adherent. Begun in September 1969 and completed in 1970, Boetti "sent" 26 people (artists, friends, even Duchamp who was dead) letters with each addressee assigned to an imaginary itinerary - a trip to a certain specific place in Italy or elsewhere. The letter went on to explain that Boetti would later send an express mail envelope, to each person at each stop along his or her itinerary, in order. Since the itineraries were imaginary and the addressee not expected to actually take the trip, the envelope would fail to be delivered and returned to the sender (Boetti). each time this happened Boetti placed the returned envelope inside a somewhat larger one: this new envelope would then be addressed to the next stop on the journey, with, of course, the same result. With each step, the outer envelope would grow larger, and its contents would grow thicker, denser with history and information.This edition was later created using photocopies of each letter (which he had kept from each stage in the process) thus illustrating the routes followed on each of the 25 postal journeys. The essentially ordered activity was approached with a playfulness however - for example the instructions for Lawrence Weiner involved him "journeying" to Zumaglia, Zumpana , Zungoli , Zngri, Zuppino , Zurgonadioand Zwischenwasser-Longega. One of 99 copies numbered and signed by Boetti. Rare. Fine.

UNIQUE VERY RARE EARLY WORK

Boltanski, Christian
UNTITLED. Unique work 1969.
Aluminium, metal gauze, cloth, metal pin, artist hair, rolled dirt, photograph. 21 x 21 x 12cm aluminium box containing three smaller hand made objects by Boltanski. The objects are hand made wire gauze boxes held together by wire and each contains a different object. The first (9 x 5 x 3.5cm approx) contains a large clump of the artist�s hair. The second ( 8 x 4 x2.5 cm approx) contains a small piece of folded and printed cloth held together by means of a pin. The third box ( 6 x 3.5 x 4.5cm approx ) contains a small impacted, rolled ball of dirt. Also contained in the box is a 24 x 18cm vintage b/w photograph by the artist of the open box displaying its contents. The photograph is signed in pencil verso "C. Boltanski" and dated "1969. The work is an interesting and rare example of a very early Boltanski work � at a time when the artist was obsessively creating small objects such as balls of dirt, packets of his own hair and small weapons. It is tempting to consider the wire constructions that house the items as cages � Boltanski later described this fervour of bricolage as being a �mania�. Perhaps one interpretation of this work is an unconcious desire to contain and end this daily, tiresome practice of making thousands of small dirt balls - ever trying to make the perfect sphere, or creating small presents of packets of hair for his friends.

The envelope was mailed and hand addressed by Brecht as well as displaying an advert for the �Lantern Extract� work from the forthcoming Yam Festival. This example of Fluxus mail art proceeded the Fluxus publication of the 1963 first edition production of Water Yam and contains some cards (eg Chair Event) which would later be included in that famous publication. It can be argued that this is the first incantation or form of Water Yam although Brecht first began event scores in 1957 after his meeting with John Cage (whose ideas on art and chance influenced Brecht greatly). In any case this is a very early and important item which allows a snapshot of the development of the event score in Brecht/watt�s work in advance of the more common Maciunas-influenced multiple. Some small creases on edges of some of the paper event cards and some minor marks to the outer envelope but otherwise very good. Very rare.

LA CLE DES CHAMPS
Paris: Les Editions du Sagittaire, 1953
23 x 14cm, 286 pp plus original wrappers and printed dustjacket. The design of the dj is an original lithograph by Miro. First edition of this collection of essays written between 1936 and 1953. The change in Breton�s thought towards mysticism and de facto and explicit Trotskyism can be seen in the addresses, manifestos, prefaces, exhibition pamphlets, and theoretical, polemical, and lyrical essays brought together here for the first time. There are 8 illustrations hors-texte. The title is usually translated as "Free Rein" � thus architypically surrealist in tone � and even late in his life Breton did not give up his strong belief in the crucial role of the unconscious in life and art. This copy has a very clean, strongly coloured dustjacket with some minor edge wear and small tears - and as often found the internal pages are browned and slightly brittle but overall this is a very good copy of a delicate book which is often sought for its cover.

Broodthaers, Marcel
DUSSELDORF. Open letter with unique hand drawing and signature.
A letter typed and signed by Broodthaers with his usual monograph ("MB"). It is dated 10 May 1969 and carries the address of the Museum of Modern Art, Eagles Department, Brussels. The text in French discusses the artist's thoughts about the city of Dusseldorf and is headed by a hand drawn typographic design by Broodthaers in green ink of the city's name. The text reads as follows: "Chers amis De Bruxelles a Anvers il y a une cinquantaine de kilometres. Pas le temps de reflechir a ce musee. Je pensais avec des parentheses sans mots a l�interieur. J�aime Dusseldorf. C�est l�une des rares villes ou la police est encore aimable et ou peut-etre (soyons prudents) je ne fkatte d�avoir quelques elations (toutes proportions gardees). Les arbres de la Koningsallee, l�immeuble de la Phoenix, le pont d�Oberkassel. L�academie et ses couloirs du XIXe siecle parce que Beuys, Palermo, Ulrich (qui connait le francais comme je connais l�allemand et don�t j�ai perdu le nom), Immendorf (sic) (qui m�invita dans des circumstances speciales). Parce que j�y ai eu l�idee d�une lettre qui tiendrait lieu de laissez-passer culturel, international, carte d�identite, � Chers amis, d�Anvers a Bruxelles il uy a le meme nombre de kilometres que le 10 mai 1940. Alors, il est etrange que je puisee a la fois reflecher a mon musee et aux sentiments qui me lient a Dusseldorf." The text references Broodthaer's thoughts on the city and explains at least in part his decision to move to the city from Brussels around the time of this letter and his formation of the Cinema Section of his Museum in a German city. This work was given by Broodthaers to the Israeli artist Mr. Oded Finegersh, who he had met in the 60s. it is typical of many of the "open letters" by the artist and is, as with all such letters, very rare. An important document - the condition is very good with a single diagonal crease to the top right hand side. An image is attached.

Chapman Brothers, Dino and Jake
DISASTERS OF WAR
n.p. (London), Chapman Publishing. (the artists), n.d. (2002)
20 x 28cm, 120pp approx. artist's book reproducing the entire series of (deliberately shocking) etchings, one per page all in full colour from the infant terribles of the YBA scene. The theme of the contrasting reproductions is a similar one to the wonderful and well known 'Hell' sculpture by the artists - namely, the evils of the world during war and, specifically, an artistic revenge on fascism and all willing proponents of the Holocaust - although most of the drawings were created before "Hell" was begun. The bright colours and kiddie-style stylings overlie the horrors displayed within most scenes - the point being that depravity is never far beneath the surface of society. The boards and all of the end papers are deliberately without any sign of publisher, date etc. hence the only information in the book (other than the drawings) are the embossed half-title pages. Trade edition - but this one unusually signed by the artists on the first fly-leaf. Thus scarce. Fine.

A LARGE GROUP OF SCARCE IRA COHEN LETTERS /BARDO MATRIX PUBLICATIONS

"Ira Cohen, the wizard of Tangier and the sage of Kathmandu." - William Burroughs

Cohen refused the classification as a beat writer but his association with Burroughs, Gysin and others from 1964 certainly influenced his work as a poet, sometime musician and film-maker and photographer. A major influence on the counter culture following his publication of 'The Hashish Cookbook' under the pseudonym of 'Panama Rose', Cohen had by 1968 already made his first film and released a record. During the 1970s, Cohen moved to Kathmandu and began to publish the Starstreams Poetry Series under the Bardo Matrix imprint. The books/broadsides which were lovingly designed and printed locally on rice paper by artisans included the work of Gregory Corso, Charles Henri Ford, Angus MacLise and Paul Bowles (among others). Cohen also published his own work during this time in limited editions including Poems From The Cosmic Crypt, Seven Marvels and Gilded Splinters - complete sets are hard to find and because of the type of paper emplioyed are /were very susceptible to handling damage. We offer here an extensive group of Bardo Matrix titles including the first 5 books and some rare archival material as well as some small published rarities including possibly the first handwritten full version of a Cohen poem later published as a broadside. All are in excellent condition and together make a substantial museum quality archive of the works and of an important period in Cohen's life.

TWO EXTREMELY DESIRABLE ITEMS A mailed and franked hand written aerogramme from Cohen to the above magazine editor - Oct 20 1976 - all in black felt tip. approx 200 words. Usual topics covered - the lack of money preventing work being done!, organising books and printing, paper supplies, book prices and the troubles in completing the Bowles book and Poems from the Crypt. Very fine estate. ADDED An ornate hand produced and signed and dated (May 23 1976) letter on rice paper in two colours of pen which contains a chatty if worried discussion from Cohen complaining that he may have to leave Nepal in "2 months" since he has visa problems and talking about the difficulties in publication of "Poems from the Cosmic Crypt" and "Next to Nothing" . However what is very notable here is a pre-publication (of the Broadside), handwritten copy of the poem Night Song which Cohen offers for printing to the editor "but enclose this poem written last week for you to use if you want it" . There are no differences between this poem and the eventually (scarce) published version and this may be the first handwritten complete version of the work. Two rubber stamps in blue and a large printed design covers one half of the entire letter which has been folded twice for posting. The whole is 34 x 27cm when opened and is a very significant find. In very fine state.

Amsterdam, Nov. 1949.
35 x 24.5cm, 32pp including printed wrappers. DA single number of this Dutch arts review which is notable for its inclusion of a very early 3pp article by Constant on De Experimentele Groep and 3 b/w reproductions of paintings by Corneille, Wolvekamp and Constant. The article notes the artists' common roots in surrealism and was written only a year after the Conference Internationale pour l'Art de Avant-garde in Paris where the Group came into existence in the Cafe Notre-Dame at Quai Saint-Michel,Rue Saint-Jacques (with the participation of Jorn, Dotremont, Noiret, Appel, Constant and Corneille who were all attending the conference) and eventually became Cobra. Constant gives an early � almost contemporary - account of that revolutionary moment and the ideological and philosophical ideas behind the movement. Other articles in the periodical are on Picasso, art criticism, van Gogh and soviet art. Some browning due to the paper employed and some rusting to staples but otherwise a very good copy of this scarce document.

OZ Nr 28: THE SCHOOL KIDS ISSUE
London: Oz Publications Ink Ltd, n.d. (1970)
30 x 22cm, 48pp including self wrappers. The infamous edition of the underground magazine which led to one of the most famous obscenity trials of the modern era. The editors of Oz claimed to have handed over control of the magazine to a group of 16/17 year old school children - and the resulting editorial content led to the uk state prosecuting the publishers. Viewing the material even now it is easy to see why the state intervened - the cartoon of a teacher masturbating over a pupil, the sexualised parody of Rupert the Bear (complete with clever verse couplets beneath as in the original Daily Express syndication), and (here, it is worth noting, there has been a complete and welcome change in the radical zeitgeist) a reasonably innocent shot of one of the "school girl" contributors (clearly 18 years old) entitled "Jailbait of the month"!!! The magazine is internally in good state but the cover whilst still attached has some spine damage and wear at the edges as well as evidence of past folding to A5. But nonetheless, this is a scarce example of one of the most important post-war anarchist/radical publications - if only because of the later trial's indirect effects on uk censorship laws.

E.A.T (Experiments in Art and Technology)
ORIGINAL PRESS PHOTOGRAPH OF THE PARTY DEMONSTRATION OF A 90 FOOT 210 DEGREE SPHERICAL MIRRROR MADE OF MYLAR, A FULL SCALE MODEL OF THE MIRROR FOR THE PEPSI COLA PAVILION. Shown at the marine corps air station, Santa Ana, California September 30 1969, 7 - 11pm.
20 x 25cm b/w photograph sent out in advance of the exhibition as publicity. Includes directions to allow visitors to find the location. EAT was an unique early experiment in art founded by technologists Billy Kluver and Fred Waldhauer in association with Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman. Kluver was the scientist who Warhol asked to create his famous silver clouds (actually Warhol wanted floating lightbulbs - Kluver told him to be more realistic). Kluver's vision of a loose group of technically knowledgeable people working with artists became a spectacularly successful project - around 6,000 are estimated to have been associated with the grouping by 1970. This is a rare documentation of the preparations that proceeded the group's most spectacular success - a group of varied artworks within the Pepsi Pavilion at Expo '70 Osaka, Japan. Fine.

Fahlstrom, Oyvind
MINNESLISTA (From "Dr. Schweitzers sista uppdrag"). (Translates as "Dr. Schweitzer�s last mission")
Stockholm, Kerberos, 1964.
Uniformly 35 x 46 cm, 4 sheets loose in printed wrappers. An artist's game/artist's book from the politicaly committed Swedish artist who once designed a board game entitled "Kidnapping Kissinger" which was exactly what is said on the label - a game where the winners successfully kidnap Nixon's right hand man. Here each sheet is illustrated with a coloured, imaginative yet slightly surreal map with texts "PLUTTSALONG / PLUTTS�NG / PLUTTSARONG / PLUTT�NG" which are Swedish portmanteau words which infer uselessness and/or insignificance. The first sheet also contains the "rules of the game" which are equally obtuse whilst still fulfilling the Witgensteinian idea of a game. The whole relates to a series of 'variable paintings' (installations and works which can be recombined in different ways using magnetic pieces) regarding 'Dr. Schweitzer' - a comic, stereotyped authority figure who Fahlstrom uses to create disturbing scenarios where the worldview is unsettled by the intrusion of medical instruments and procedures: thus may be viewed as a symbolic and all powerful stand-in for reactionary government. Small scratch on back cover, otherwise a fine copy of this very scarce 60s work from the famous agit-prop artist who has been influenced at different times by US underground comics (especially Crumb), Scandinavian pornography and Nordic expressionism. Intriguing.

Paris: Centre Americains des artistes, May 17 - 25, 1965.
Poster: 44 x 32cm, black on pink paper - folded with some paper loss bottom right and left. Programme notes participation of Alain Jouffroy, Robert Filliou, Emett (sic) Williams, Earle Brown and many others. Design includes a reproduced photographic image.
Programme hand out for the Earle Brown Lecture on "Composing Music by Chance" and the Filliou/Williams Extra-Sensory Misperception. 27 x 22cm, 6pp. Included in the stapled leaflet is a "souvenir sheet" which consists of a copy of the Filliou/Williams multiple "The Pink Spaghetti handshake". The artists shook hands while holding painted spaghetti onto a sheet of white paper and the resulting "print" was allowed to dry and included here. This is a rare and important example of this famous work - which takes pride of place in both poet's oeuvre and is oft mentioned in William's autobiography. Some folding and tears without any paper loss - a very good example of this rare work
3 handbills: 4to, both 1pp. Mimeotext on white paper. Programme details respectively for the Ferlinghetti contribution ("Underwear")and a Lebel happening and le Groupe Panique International (a drama). Some tears but no paper loss. previous creases where folded. The third hand out is the programme for a concert by Nam June Paik and Charlotte Moorman on 21 May 1965 where works by Paik, Chiari, Brown, Corner, Cage, La Monte Young, Dick Higgins and Ichiyanagi were performed. Interestingly the programme notes the loss of a Paik sculpture "Robot" as having "disappeared mysteriously on the way from iceland to Paris in the international air labyrinth."
Three original photographs - respectively 18 x 24cm, (image 12.5 x 18.5cm) ; 24 x 18cm (image 18.5 x 12.5 cm) and 9 x 13 cm (image 5.5 x 9.5 cm). All are b/w and press shots from "Chapman-Fotogram" Cignac, France (company stamps and hand written descriptions verso) . The images are of a performance by Alexandro Jodorowsky (2 images) where he and his naked female co-performers had his body smeared with honey and hair and where a sacrilegious ceremony was performed where a priest handed out hosts for consumption by the same participants. The third smaller photograph is a portrait of Label. All have very minor surface scratches but are otherwise very good. Images on request.
Together - a rare group of material from this historic festival. The material is also with some significance to the works of several Fluxus affiliated artists (especially the bound in copy of the "Pink Spaghetti handshake") and despite the typical wear associated with such freely distributed material a very desirable group of material.

THREE HAND DRAWN FLUXUS CARDS

Fine, Albert
UNTITLED (WRIGHT EMOS). Unique drawing on postcard. 1973
8 x 13cm, 2pp hand drawn black ink on postcard. A unique example of hand-created mail-art by the Fluxus artist and filmmaker Albert Fine. The front of the card is a typographic design in Fine�s ideosyncratic style where letters are embellished with additional ascenders and horizontal flourishes to the point of obscurity - in addition in FIne's unstated rules of design, words could be placed up-side down to further confuse the reader. Fine's texts CAN be read with some difficulty however as Fine�s lettering/ornamentation and the placing of words is consistent (a word can change direction but it remains in series with the rest of a sentence or phrase). Here the text on the front reads: "WRIGHT RONG / ART WRONG / NOT RITE/ DO NOT SEND /SEND TO TUTTLE/SMUDGE" � the "Do not send" is a clear referencing of Ray Johnson�s series of "Do not send to�" mail art pieces. There is also a hand drawn paper clip which is continued 'a la trompe d�oeil' over the overside of the card. The entire work is addressed to "(Norman Viet Con) Doctor Patient 94 Chambers St. NYC 10007". Franked and mailed through the US post, this card has survived in very good condition and is a wonderful piece of personalised mail art.

Fine, Albert
UNTITLED (CAFFE ALUMETTE MAGGOT). Unique drawing on postcard. 1973
8 x 13cm, 2pp hand drawn black ink and stains on postcard. Yet another unique example of hand-created mail-art by Fine. The front of this card has been stained with coffee and the stains used (as if by a post-modern Ernst) to create a postcard equivalent of a captured tabletop by Spoerri. Franked and mailed through the US post this item was again addressed to "Tostado Obscure 94 Chambers St. NYC 10007" and is in very good condition.

225 uk pounds

Fine, Albert
UNTITLED (DINASAUR STAMP). Unique drawing on postcard. 1974
8 x 13cm, 2pp hand drawn black ink on postcard. A further unique example of hand-created mail-art from Fine. The front of this card has a typographic design with printed elements to give the impression that the card has been impressed with a rubber stamp. Given the poor quality of many mail art items sent within the network during the 60s and 70s (typically xeroxed collages) this is a timely reminder that some artists took care and effort to create miniature works of art. Franked and mailed through the US post this item was addressed to "Tostado Obscure 94 Chambers St. NYC 10007" and is in very good condition.

STANDING POEM 1 (PEAR/APPEAR/DISAPPEARED)
Dunsyre: WIld Hawthorn Press, 1963 21 x 18cm, 1pp. the very first of all of Finlay's cards - this is an extreme rarity since the work is often not identified because of the mistakes in both Murray and the Druckgrafik catalogue raisonne - both have incorrect sizes for this work. The words (PEAR/PPEAR/APPEAR/SAPPEAR/ISAPPEAR/DISAPPEAR/ISAPPEAR / SAPPEAR/APPEAR/PPEAR/PEAR) run around the outside of the card - which when stood up creates a 3-D paper sculpture. This copy is believed to be one of only circa 250 produced. Very good. Rare.

Ibid Another copy but damaged thus - one large tear (5cm along a seam and then inward for 4cm), a smaller tear (3 cm) and several bumps on the card where a rough heavy object has marked the surface. Nonetheless the item could be easily repaired. This copy is printed on cream coloured card � and as such is unusual since the reported print run according to Murray is on white card. Priced thus due to damage.

BROCHURE PROSPECTUS FOR FLUXUS YEARBOXES (VERSION B)
Ehihalten: Maciunas, n.d. (circa October 1962)
21 x 21cm, 8pp plus printed card covers (black on olive green card). This is the second � yet still extremely scarce � printing of Maciunas� plans for the future 7 Fluxboxes (most of which did not come to fruition). A slightly earlier version of the prospectus was printed on orange paper but this is the very slightly later b/w copy (a difference of 4 months at most). Page 1 has the famous definition of Fluxus reproduced from a dictionary. Designed by Maciunas this was the first public manifestation of the plans for Fluxus aside from the "Fluxus � Tentative Plans for Contents of the First 6 (and 7) issues" and "News-Policy-Letter No 1" which were only circulated to potential supporters and participants. On the back cover here some gloss paint remains from some past unknown activity but otherwise this is very good+ with minor browning. Amazingly the paint does not distract from the look of this important document partially because of the patterning of the cover paper chosen by Maciunas. Silverman 541. Very rare.

One major aspect of this catalogue was a 12pp list of documents and items offered at the show for sale. This copy was originally owned by the English Beau Geste Press/David Mayor who organised Fluxshoe and was an active English Fluxist and is annotated in his hand throughout - mostly noting dates on many of the listed items and a "tick" if he bought the item or not at the show. Thus what might normally be a defect is actually a plus here since this catalogue contains extra research information about many Fluxus items. A very good copy. Rare.

Katharina Fritsch

Fritsch, Katharina
MADONNENFIGUR (Madonna)
Germany: Johnen & Schottle/Jablonka,1982/89
30 x 8 x 6.5cm (approx.) painted plaster of Paris figure made by the artist. Object multiple - Fritsch's most famous work and despite being an unlimited multiple is very hard to find especially offered alone as here and not in a group. Based on a moulding from one of the garish Madonnas sold in Catholic devotional shops, the uniform and surprising yellow coating of paint transforms the piece from kitsch into a conceptual art work and deliberately perverts the function of the common-or-garden object by making it a precious and valuable art. Very good condition with some (as usual) rubbing of the hand applied yellow paint.

ADDED: Fulton, Hamish NO TALKING FOR 14 DAYS NYC: John Weber Gallery, 1998 15.2 x 10.8cm, 2pp. Typographic design after text by Fulton: A 21 day wandering walk/20 nights camping in the Beartooth mountains of Montana ending with the September full moon 1997. Fine. ADDED: Fulton, Hamish YOU ARE INVITED TO TALK THE WALK BY HAMISH FULTON NYC: Art In General, n.d. 10.2 x 7cm, 1pp. Typographi only. A dull little card for �completists� only (I understand: I�m one too). Fine. It is interesting how Long and Fulton have diverged as artists � the former continuing to "make his mark" on the landscape while Fulton has tended to incorporate elements of performance in his walks � including strong elements of behavioural restriction which mirror the later years of other gallery-based performance artists. As a result the latter�s work is more literal and conceptual in that the early photopieces have been replaced by text-only works � the inner emotions of semi-masochistic activities being invisible to the camera�s focus.

LA PEINTURE DES SONS, BRUITS ET ODEURS. Manifesto Futurista.
Milan: Direzione del Movimento Futurista, 1913.
Quarto single sheet folded to comprise 4pp. First French language issue of this all encompassing tract. A veritable appeal to the senses. Herein, the dynamic painter and theorist calls for: "Reds, rrrreds, the reddddddest rrrrreds that shouuuuuuut. Greens that can never be greener, greeeeeeeeeeeens, that Screeeeeeam, yellows as violent as can be, polenta yellows, saffron yellows, grass yellows� Oblique lines which affect the soul of the observer like so many bolts from the blue, along with lines of depth�.. Ellipsoidal curves seen like nets in movement�. We have already evolved, as artists, a love of modern life in its essential dynamism - its sounds, noises and smells - thereby destroying the stupid pattern for the solemn, the bombastic, the serene, the hieratic and the mummified: everything purely intellectual, in fact. Imagination without strings; words-in-freedom, the systematic use of onomatopoiea, antigraceful music without rhythmic quadrature, and the art of noises. These have derived from the same sensibility, which has generated the painting of sounds, noises and smells". Some typical minor browning (owing to stock), else a very good example of this ultra-dimensional statement. Scarce.

12 ISSUES including the scarce nr 1 and 2. issues and the artist's book "General Idea" issue plus 1 suppliment - a index of Canadian mail art (29 numbers = all) 1972 - 1983 - VOl 1 Nr 1, Vol 1, Nr 2 and Vols 3-3 to Vol 5 - 4
File was General Idea's art periodical counterpoint to the USA's LIFE magazine and the earlier numbers parodied the covers. Content is a mixture of conceptual, mail and intermedia art including the GI's own work - often with a homoerotic element. Ray Johnson was a frequent contributor here and Issue 1 has Mr Peanut on the cover. The first two numbers here are very scarce indeed but are not in good condition - the wrappers are torn apart and detached and one has doodles on the masthead but all pages are present and all the other issues are very good - over all a worthwhile and scarce part run of this influntial artist publication. Notable is the General Idea number which has a content entirely of three day-glo stylised poodles in various adventurous and flexible sexual positions.

(A.A. Bronson)
Harrison, A.S.A.
TWENTY TWO WOMEN TALK FRANKLY ABOUT THEIR ORGASMS
Toronto: Coach House Press, 1974
31 x 23cm, 78pp plus boards and pictorial dj. An interesting book of verbatim interviews by the author asking women about their intimate sexual moments. Typical of the self-awareness books that came out in the 1970s as a result of the feminist movement and a growing realisation of the marginalisation of openly expressed sexual feelings in many women�s lives; the design and a short dust jacket note are by A.A. Bronson of General Idea. A book with serious and useful intent it is not without fascinating anecdote - even if it requires one to admit the pleasure is mostly voyeuristic: "I think one day I did about ninety-seven. Then I got hungry. And I went out for fish and chips with coleslaw. I had a mad craving for fish and chips and coleslaw." Bronson's design is mostly functional but also clear and neat. Slight bumping to extremes and mildly bowed but overall very good.

The image is that of the well known General Idea 'aryan' boy with milk moustache - the image is the same as the front cover of FILE magazine FALL 1979 (#29m in the catalogue raisonne) since it is not only reversed from the editioned print but the hand position is different but matches the one on the FILE cover. One tiny surface surface scratch but otherwise very good condition. After discussion with AA Bronson it is still not clear as to the provenance - it may possibly be a GI issued print but more likely a promotional item used during a gallery show. Offered thus.

NYC: Paula Allen Gallery, 1989
14 x 10.8cm, 1pp typographic design announcement card. Felix Gonzalez-Torres, when one considers the matter, had a surprisingly short solo career (ignoring his role within Group Material) - with a first exhibition in 1987 and a retrospective at the Whitney only 7 years later (one year before his death). This is the scarce invite card for his 3rd show (as part of a group show). Fine condition. Scarce.

UNTITLED (BLUE)
NYC: Andrea Rosen, 1993
31 x 22cm sheets of transparent paper bound together by a single metal paperclip. The first sheet is printed minimally with the details of the artist's show and the following 12 sheets (perhaps one for each month) consist of a pale blue printing on each page - reminiscent of the artist's later solitary mood and his fascination with the creation of a minimalist conceptual art. All bookworks by Gonazalez-Torres are extremely scarce despite usually being distributed without charge by the artist during shows. This has minor former crease lines top left on the cover sheet where it has been opened and a very small, slight rust stain from the paperclip but is otherwise very good+.

LA: MOCA, 1994
28 x 22cm, 80pp plus extended wrappers bearing a detail of Untitled (Jorge), exhibition catalogue in the form of a monograph for a travelling show about the conceptualist which toured before his death. Gonzalez-Torres work is perhaps one of the most effective and accessible of the conceptualists - Kosuth's essay contained within discusses in part the difference between the emotive work of FG-T and that, of say, Flavin despite surface similarities. Other essays by Cruz, Goldstein and Merewether amongst others. 16 reproductions including an extended work Untitled (21 days of bloodwork - steady decline) which with a single sloping-down line sums up the tragedy of AIDS and personal loss. Fine.

THEY ALL DO HATE HIM AS ROOTEDLY AS I
Geneva: Association Stairs, 1994
100 x 60cm, offset four-colour lithograph. Greenaway's later work has been heavily influenced by his work with Tom Phillips on "Dante's Inferno" - a densely layered, very ornate - almost rococco-esque - working of drawn and photographed images in image manipulation programmes creates fascinating works - full of Shakespearean and other references. Fine estate. Image on request.

Gudmundsson, Kristj�n
Once Around The Sun
4to, unpaginated. Uniformly 2 volumes in slip case, 2nd ed/100, Aachen M�nchen: Ottenhausen Verlag, 1982
Gudmundsson's work is conceptual and minimalist and very reminiscent of Stanley Brouwn or Roman Opalka in that his interest is in the way humans represent the world and universe around them. This artist's book involves the printing exactly the distance and the time taken for the earth to go around the sun by the use of lines and dots which represent the physical space and time. The exactitude of the system is impressive and the books contain no text at all. This is the second edition of only 100 books and follows a minuscule, extremely rare first edition printed by the Silver Press in both Reykjavik and Amsterdam in 1975-76. Scarce. Fine condition.

One of only 150 copies after 30 (released although 150 were planned) first edition copies. This second edition had to be created after the artist found that new scientific research had found a deeper trench!

(German Dada/Letterisme)
Hausmann, Raoul
SOUNDREEL /INTERVIEW AVEC LES LETTRISTES. Tonband Nr. 5.
Marketplatz, Germany: S-PRESS, 1971 15x 15cm, printed slip case content of card covers and a single standard audio-cassette in original plastic bag and colophon sheet. Raoul Hausmann was one of the founding members of Dada Berlin together with Richard Hulsenbeck and Frantz Jung. He founded and ran with Joannes Baader and Hulsenbeck, "Der Dada," the best known publication of the Berlin dadaists. His work in creating photo-montages influenced John Heartfield and Georges Grosz amongst others. After creating many "phonetic poems" during this early Dada period he returned to the genre late in life and published many sound poems - something which unsurprisingly led him to the Lettristes. Here are two recordings of the poet (dealing with Dada and the Letterists, recorded respectively in 1951 and 1962) issued soon after his death as part of a series of such publications from the publisher Einhorn. This copy is dedicated and signed by Einhorn on the internal covers. Edition not known although a reel-to-reel version was also published. Fine, increasingly scarce.
