Second edition (per special statement upon page 6). 224 pages. Hardcover: H 28.75cm x L 28.75cm. Dust jacket rubbed; light bumping along top edge; short 1cm closed tear at spine head. Blue boards with vibrant gilt stamping to spine. Patch of surface peeling and some residue from removed gift sticker on front free endpaper; non-authorial green ink Christmas gift inscription on title page. Interior pages are otherwise clean. Binding is firm. A very good- copy in a very good- dust jacket. Catalogue of the Jack Warner-Gulf States Paper Corporation-The Westervelt Company collection exhibited at the Westervelt-Warner Museum of American Art in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. As ownership of the paintings and other objects was split among Gulf States/Westervelt and The Warner Foundation as well as some being the direct property of retired CEO and chairman Jack Warner, a power struggle regarding the museum's future ensued between the retired chairman and the corporate board as art prices soared in the late-2000s. Thus, as it played out, in 2011 The Westervelt Company consigned 33 of the museum's paintings to Christie's so that masterworks including Asher B. Durand's "Progress-The Advance of Civilization," Childe Hassam's "Celia Thaxter's Garden," Frederick Carl Frieseke's "Sunspots," Albert Bierstadt's "Seal Rock, California," Andrew Wyeth's "Silver Cove," Frederic Edwin Church's "Above the Clouds at Sunrise" (which illustrates the book's dust jacket), and Thomas Hart Benton's "Shipping Out" were sold via private sale or auction. The financial impact of the artwork was immediate; Durand's "Progress" allegedly sold for $40 million (the painting was anonymously gifted to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in December 2018); the Benton painting sold for twice the high estimate at $1,025,000. The corporate holdings that survived the museum dissolution were either exhibited at its successive institution, the short-lived Tuscaloosa Museum of Art (closed in 2018) or retired to Gulf States offices. The book is a testimony to Jack Warner's legendry discerning eye and prescient recognition American fine and decorative arts highpoints most of them slyly acquired relatively cheaply from the 1950s through the 1980s when the market still strongly favored European objects. Please note that this large book has an approximate shipping weight of 5 pounds (2.26 kg) and will require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail. {ArtShelf_#1} ISBN 9781580930987.
Paperback. Condition: New. Assemblage under quarantine: new works from the celebrated Boston School photographer and artistJack Pierson's (born 1960) latest book, New Pieces, features new assemblage works that the artist started making during quarantine in his Ridgewood, Queens, studio. Assemblage has long played a role in Pierson's career, from his early verité installation pieces to his iconic "word pieces." These new works consist mainly of items found in and around his studio building, which were then pinned directly to the wall.As Bonnie Morrison writes, "These are things that Pierson has accumulated as well as the things that have no doubt accumulated around him. To be fabricated in the year everything took on different meaning is also to take every fabricated thing's meaning different(ly).".

Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 2nd Edition. 177, [19] pages : illustrations ; 25 cm ; ISBN 9780918949158, 9780918949165, 0918949157, 0918949165 ; OCLC 23654014 ; LCCN 91013828 ; LOC No PS509.W6 W47 1991 ; Dewey 810.8/03520565/082 ; beige cloth in color pictorial dustjacket ; This enchanting collection of fiction, poetry, and photographs evokes the beauty, humor, and courage of women living in their later years. More than 1.7 million copies have been sold, thanks to its universal message of aging as a natural gift of life. Winner of the American Booksellers Book of the Year Honors Award (1991), and two Benjamin Franklin Awards: for design and content, literature (1988), and for excellence and innovation in marketing, literature (1992), When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple has been applauded for its honest and inspiring approach to the much neglected topic of aging. When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple has created a network of support and encouragement: the sixty-plus men and women whose work is included, the readers who have taken the time to share how the book has touched their lives, and the booksellers who have so graciously recommended it to buyers. Stories and poems such as Warning, Like Mother, Like Daughter, Love at Fifty, Near Places, Far Places, and Dear Paul Newman tell of the endearing moments of joy -- and passion -- to be found in the rich and varied world of midlife and beyond. This award-winning anthology has earned a word-of-mouth popularity because, as the Los Angeles Times said, the time is ripe for such a message. ; Contents: Warning / Jenny Joseph -- Sitty Victory / Vicky Salloum -- Grandma sits down / Rick Kempa -- Aunt Marie at 99 / Tom Benediktsson -- Here, take my words / Karen Brodine -- The trouble was meals / Elizabeth Bennett -- Like mother, like daughter / Susan S.
