Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. One of 500 copies. [24]pp. Oblong wraps (5-1/4 x 8-1/4 in). Near fine, with mildly toned covers. Signed by Acconci to recto of penultimate leaf.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A set six of the avant-garde periodical Assembling. Instead of selecting from submissions presented to it, Richard Kostelanetz (and, at various times, Henry James Korn, Mike Metz, Scott Helmes, and David Cole) invited potential contributors to submit a thousand copies of whatever they wanted to include, which were then alphabetically assembled into 8.5 by 11 inch books. Published by Ghilbmessa Inc. (First number) and then by Assembling Press, New York between 1970-1981. Edition of 1000. Overall excellent, well-preserved copies with minor edge-wear and age-toning, some mildly bumped corners, oversized pages in some issues creased at fore-edges. Very Good or better with no major flaws, no internal markings - all in custom protective mylar. Notably - front panel of Issue 1, which is printed on lighter paper than subsequent issues, has small closed tears at the staples - loosely attached thus. Issue 4 has a closed, diagonal tear with creasing at the spine near bottom edge - not affecting binding. Please inquire for further, thorough descriptions of condition of individual issues.

Hardcover. Condition: Gut bis sehr gut. Limitierte Ausgabe. B . Number 159/250 , Signed by Acconci. Photographically illustrated artist's book with 80 small original mounted black and white photographs interspersed throughout the text. About half the images are of New York and constitute, however inadvertently, a wonderful document of Manhattan in the early 70s; not to mention a rumination on surveillance and its ramifications. The text itself is reproduced in Acconci's hand (printed), with typed quotations pasted in the front of the book. Signatur des Verfassers.…

Condition: Near Fine. Limited Edition. Oblong octavo. No. 35 of 250 copies; SIGNED by Acconci. While Seedbedis arguably known as Vito Acconci's signature work, its context is often overlooked, being but one of a suite of performances designed as interventions into Ileana Sonnabend's recently-opened SoHo gallery space (Jan. 15 - 29, 1972). The following year, Acconci published the present artist's book?24 leaves of his diagrammatic notes (in-facsimile), typescript research excerpts (e.g. Goffman, Wittgenstein), and 78 mounted photographs?revealing the theoretical underpinnings and urban/spatial research that animated these performances. Acconci's reference to Seedbed here is coy, with a simple illustration of the ramp and a set of ambiguous statements: "When I am not inside the ramp, the ramp can still contain the product I grow, the product of my growth." Minor edge-wear to illustrated wrappers; near fine. With 6 OCLC records located in North America. Accompanied by original 1972 Sonnabend announcement (5 x 9 in.), illustrated after a selection of the research photographs that appear in the book. Signed.…
