Add to basket16x27,5cm, broché, 79p. Edition originale. Nombreuses photos n/b à pleine page et en planches contact. Quelques traces du temps sur la couverture. "Il est possible que pour un certain temps encore le mot reste irremplaçable, ne serait-ce que pour véhiculer les concepts neufs et établir le constat de leur existence. Il est certai…n, cependant, qu?en dépit du talent de quelques écrivains, la littérature n?a pas donné des ?uvres aussi actuellement fortes que peuvent l?être les tableaux de Klein ou de Raynaud et les films de Warhol et de tout le cinéma underground. La littérature d?esprit Pop art s?est vite avérée très inférieure aux créations plastiques dont elles voulait être l?équivalent. Cette rivalité entre l?image et le mot, Marc Albert-Levin a voulu l?abolir par deux fois : la première en écrivant de brefs ouvrages édités par Jean-Jacques Pauvert (Un printemps à New York, Tour de Farce) qui soient une explosion de réalité, un mélange d?événements, d?images et de sensations; la seconde en présentant ses livres dans une galerie où il a reconstitué son univers familier au carrefour de la peinture, des mots et du jazz. François Pluchart, Combat, 9 mars 1970".

Add to basketOriginal book dummy, composed by Marc Albert-Levin in 1967 ([Colofon:] "N. B.: Le rapporteur est rentré à Paris dans la nuit du 31 décembre au 1er janvier." [in ink:] 1966). In grey cardboard cover, with a printed title vignette on the front cover. Another version of the title, written in hand, is also on the front panel. The te…xt sheets (most of them are two sheets mounted together) are numbered (sometimes inconsistently) from 1 to 79, and the book also contains 15 unnumbered plates. The printed text is clipped and mounted on the pages in two columns, with handwritten corrections at numerous places in different inks. Illustrated with more than 650 original b/w photographs by Larry Fink (and some - supposedly - by the author) mounted on the pages, of which two are full-page, and the majority is in contact print forma. Le petit voyage LSD is Marc Albert-Levin's personal, psychedelic journal of his first trip to New York, richly illustrated with Larry Fink's black and white photos. Marc Albert-Levin (b. 1941), a French art critic, translator, poet, and collage artist visited New York for the first time in late 1966 as a journalist, writing for Les lettres françaises, the French weekly literary publication, edited by Louis Aragon. Later on, during the 1960s Albert-Levin returned to the city frequently and got in touch with the key musicians of the avant-garde and underground music scenes just as the leading figures of the contemporary American counterculture. In the 1970s, while already living in New York, Albert-Levin taught a course about Surrealism and Dadaism at The Cooper Union, worked as a cook in a vegetarian restaurant, and became Miles Davis' personal cook for a few months. Back in France, he organized concerts for Ornette Coleman, Anthony Braxton's quartet, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and François Tusques's quartet. Many of Albert-Levin's early articles about his first trip were published in the Les lettres françaises, and his first book, Un printemps à New York (1969), was based upon the text of these articles amended with diary-like personal notes in between the pages. This one, just as his subsequent book, Tour de Farce (about the band The Fugs; 1970), appeared in the same format as the present maquette, and both were illustrated with Fink's photos. Le petit voyage LSD, apparently served as a progenitor of Albert-Levin's later books, although it could never be published, supposedly due to its particularly personal content, with several references to drugs, consumption of LSD, psychedelic experiences, or Timothy Leary and his circle. The book's less scandalous chapters on 1960s avant-garde jazz, literary, and artistic scenes of New York City thus also remained in the author's drawer. By Dore Ashton's recommendation, Albert-Levin's guides on his first trip were Richard Alderson, the "electronic genius" who at the time worked as an audio engineer at the ESP-Disc, the most important record company and label of free jazz and underground rock, and the photographer Larry Fink. (Weiss, 2012) Both Alderson and Fink had a wide knowledge of and access to the contemporary avant-garde jazz and underground music scenes in New York, just as to the hippest literary, artistic, and psychedelic circles, which - through his new friends - were frequented and documented by the author. More than 650 photos illustrate Albert-Levin's journal of which the majority was made by Fink and to our best knowledge never been published. Larry Fink (Laurence B. Fink; American, b. 1941) is renowned for his social documentary photographs, and his images of creative musicians, which he started to take already in the 1950s owing to his passion for music, especially jazz. Fink also pictured beatniks, boxers, and presidential candidates and had been exhibited at nearly every significant museum of modern art and photography. His most famous series, published in the monograph Social Graces (1984), depicts family celebrations and gatherings of the wealthy Manhattanites and the working-classes Pennsylvanians, contrasting the two very different socioeconomic groups. Somewhere there is music (2006), one of his latest books, is a collection of black-and-white jazz photographs from the 1950s to the late 1970s, portraits dedicated to the musical world and its protagonists. In its foreword, Fink expresses his acknowledgment "To Marc Albert-Levin, a[n] old friend whose understanding and love for the music is on the deepest level." (Fink & Panichas, 2006) The story of Le petit voyage LSD follows Albert-Levin's experimental and inner journey in New York during the winter of 1966. The text was created in a form of an uninterrupted diary, marked by different encounters, experiences, observations, and reflections. The first leaves contain only photos illustrating the upcoming chapter: a full-page portrait of Richard Alcroft, a detail of the "Head Shop" (at Lower East Side), and four pages of contact print format photos (91) of Albert-Levin, Alcroft, and others. The chapter "Chez Richard Alcroft" [At Richard Alcroft (a psychedelic artist)] is a description of an LSD trip with Nina, who is also featured among the photos. The chapter contains several additional photos as text illustrations (30). The chapter "Concert Sun Ra" (at Slugs' Saloon) is illustrated with 30 photos mainly of the musicians. Descriptions of Alcroft's psychedelic light projections and other works illustrated with photos (5) of Marion Brown and Sirone's (Norris Jones) concert. The author's agenda for the days between November 10 and 23, illustrated with 10 photos of a vernissage at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts (today: Museum of Arts and Design) and a fashion event. Description of a day at the beach with Larry and friends, with 8 larger format photos. Quotations from Marshall McLuhan (the author of The Gutenberg Galaxy), a draft of a plan to record the author's trip on LSD with the help of Alcroft and Fink, and other personal thoughts (added 2 photos to the end).
