The later reprint of two of Roth's very early works under the Hansjorg Mayer imprint as part of the systematic reproducing of all of Roth's early publications. The two variants (one per volume) of the same work are either black and white or red and blue - and the placing of the various cards within the folder is entirely under the whim of the reader - allowing a high number of unique variations on the book (we are too lazy at HFA to work out the exact number of combinations but we believe it to be 26!*26! : 1). The printed slipcase has minor marking and surface abrasions but the multiple is internally otherwise near fine - which given the fragility of the die cut cards is a good thing!

Others show him appealing to a mass meeting of dockers not cemented by his early research in number theory and logic but his later popular philosophy books such as "Why I am not a Christian" and tv appearances made him into a well-known figure in the Uk and abroad.

A close to continuous and complete run of this avant garde revolutionary art journal missing only a single number

(Russian Avant Garde /LEF)
NOVYJ LEF. ("New Left") Editor Vladimir Mayakovsky
Moskau, Gosizdat, 1927 /1928.
Two bound volumes retaining original wraps. Uniformly octavo, offered here are numbers 1-12 in 10 issues from the year 1928 and numbers 1-10 and 12 (missing only number 11).from 1928. the second of two journals published the Soviet Left Front of the Arts, or Lef under the direction of Mayakovsky who had won fame before the Revolution for his experimental poetry and flamboyant behavior, the Lef circle included writers Nikolai Aseev, Osip Brik, and Sergei Tret'iakov, filmmakers Sergei Eisenstein and Dziga Vertov, stage director Vsevolod Meyerhold, and literary theorist Viktor Shklovsky all who contribute herein. Notably Rodchenko designed all of the covers of Novyi Lef as well as contributing extensively. Lef argued that artistic forms could not be disassociated with ideology, thus the creation of a new society required the creation of new forms of art. Also central to Lef thought was the conviction that revolutionary art required the active participation of the viewer, who would be transformed by the effort of interpreting the work. This rare near complete set is bound into two modern bindings - with minor trimming to the bottom edge of the journals which does not affect the content in any way. Very good +. Rare as a collection.

SAMA LASKA.
Prague: privately published (Nakladatlstvi Vecervice), 1923.
14 x 19.5 cm. 62 pp. Four textual illustrations by Mrvicka. Beige wrappers with a photographic design in two colors by Mrvicka. First edition of the Nobel Prize-winning Czech authorÕs third book written when he was only 22 years old. The title translates as Sheer Love (or 'Nothing but Love') and, interestingly for the revolutionary writer, places that emotion even above political zeal. Later Seifert left the Communist Party. A co-founder of the avant-garde Devetsil group, together with Karel Teige, Viteslav Nezval, among others, SeifertÕs experimental poems of this period were simultaneously revolutionist and emblematic of the young authorÕs personal investigations. Some heavy foxing to the cover and some chipping to the edges of the wrappers, minor paper loss to spine but internally very fine and the glue binding remains solid. Rare.

Siegelaub's wish was to diminish the role of dealers (hmmph!) and give art back some of its purity. the failure of the venture lead indirectly, and in part, to his decision to retire as a major influence in the world of contemporary art.

(Sigma Project /Trocchi)
Sigma Portfolio
A rare continuous run of the earliest 5 publications, and a single, out of sequence issue, and two ephemeral items from Trocchi's Sigma Project which tried to create a new direct relationship between reader and writer. Trocchi's adherence to the Situationist International, made these some of the most influential political texts in English available at that time. Individual copies of the Portfolios in good condition are hard to find and a continuous run of early issues particularly valuable. Issues vary as per format and pagination.

The group is thus:

(Sigma Portfolio) Burroughs, William S. MARTIN'S FOLLY (= Sigma Portfolio, No. 1) London: Project Sigma, 1964. 1pp broadside, 75 x 50cm unfolded size but folded into eighths (as issued). the design of this, Trocchi's first release under the banner of the Sigma Portfolio, was a large poster designed to resemble the front page of a newspaper and originally intended to be displayed in subway stations until the project became unfeasible. The Burrough's text is conjoined with "The Barbecue" by Trocchi, and other smaller contributions. Apart from the folding, very good copy of this hard to find item. Trocchi, Alexander Sigma Portfolio, No 2 London: Project Sigma, 1964. 33 x 21cm, four, single sided mimeographed sheets stapled at the corner. Project Sigma was Trocchi's attempt to send his Situationist inspired writing direct to the reader without the mediation of a major publishing house or even any design. Here his influential "Invisible Insurrection of a Million Minds" is reprinted from the Saltire Review of the previous year. Fine. Trocchi, Alexander Sigma Portfolio, No 3 London: Project Sigma, 1964. 33 x 21cm, three, single sided mimeographed sheets stapled at the corner. Content of "Sigma: A Tactical Blueprint" by Alexander Trocchi, an important early text outlining plans for the Sigma Project. Fine. Sigma Portfolio, No 4 London: Project Sigma, 1964. 33 x 21cm, four, single sided mimeographed sheets stapled at the corner. Content of "Potlatch" an anonymous text asking for contributions for an interpersonal log-book for Sigma members. The text continues with an in-depth explanation of Situationist theory. Fine. Sigma Portfolio, No. 5, 1964. London: Project Sigma, 1964. 33 x 21cm, four, single sided mimeographed sheets stapled at the corner. Content of a reprint of "Sigma: General Information" an anonymous text conjuring the influences of Wallace Berman, R. D. Laing, and Situationist theory. Fine. added (Sigma Portfolio) Burroughs, William S. THE INVISIBLE GENERATION London: Project Sigma, 1966. Out of sequence broadside reprinting a text by Burroughs that originally appeared in International Times; certainly with one of the the longest published sentences in the English language at 900 + words before the presence of a full stop. Bibliographic sources suggest this reprint was not given a Sigma index number and was apparently distributed by International Times who provided the offprints but was regarded by Trocchi as part of the Project's output. B/w image of a photographic collage of Burroughs. Former horizontal center crease, else fine. A scarce item added a Sigma subscription form and a promotional flyer both offset, 8vo. Fine.

Price for all 6 issues and two items of ephemera: 950 uk pounds.

Some individual issues - #1, #2 and #5 may be available outside of this run - POA.

The Centre soon became the site for a series of large-scale shows of experimental and kinetic art, and published 10 issues of the periodical, Signals Newsbulletin, edited by Medalla. Signals featured work by an international roster of artists, including Takis (Greece), Lygia Clark, Helio Oiticica (Brazil), Jesus Rafael Soto and Alejandro Otero (Venezuela) and Pablo Neruda (Chile) - and later promoted the work of the Zero group out of Germany. Later Mandella became an important artist in his own right with large, kenetic,bubble sculptures. Very good condition.

A small strip of super 16 film enclosed in a transparent, 7 x 7 cm heat-sealed plastic bag (about 2 seconds worth) displays a large waterslide with a swimmer descending quickly. A bigger splash perhaps? Signed and dated on the sealed platic bag by Signer in an unknown edition (probably a few hundred). The other objects are a charcoal 3- D "Ampersand" by Theys, a full size wax little finger ("Kleiner Finger") by Stadtbaumer and Kok's balloon ("Maxi-colour") which has unavoidably perished (as almost always happens with rubber balloons - see for example warhol's Index Book multiple) but is still readable in the box.

Situationistische Internationale
DAS ELEND DER STRUDENTEN UND DER BEGINN EINER EPOCHE
Dusseldorf, S.I, , 1970 21 x 14.5cm, 38pp plus printed card covers. A German pamphlet which reprints a section of a lengthy article ("Le commencement d'une epoche") from Internationale Situationiste 12, which considers the role of students in revolutionary activity - an active area of S.I. debate following the "Strasburg scandal" where a group of "proto-Situ"s found themselves elected to the board of the Student Union of Strasburg University thanks to a low poll. Their use of student funds to publish the pamphlet 'On the Poverty of Student Life" caused a massive scandal and the group was soon prosecuted for misuse of public money. In advance of May 1968, such high profile activities only boosted the S.I.'s cred - and the role of students in the Parisian uprisings only increased the perceived importance of a politicised youth amongst Situationist theorists (where before only the alienated were presumed of more interest). Also contains translations into German of another Vaneigem article from #12 and several detourned images and photographs of student activities. Fine example of this propagandising pamphlet.

100 x 70cm, 3 colour (florescent red and yellow) silkscreened exhibition poster designed by the artist. A psychedelic, design which is not only in keeping with the times but displays some of the artist's works (such as one of his "knots'), his own image pulling a knotted balloon around himself and a collage element (in reproduction). Formerly folded into 8ths, there is a slight amount of damage at the very ends of the folds (with no paper loss) but otherwise this is a very good example of a wonderful and striking poster which if framed would be spectacular. Scarce. Image on request.
