Softcover. Condition: g+. First edition. 1/2000. Large quarto. [4], 252, [8]pp. Original photo-illustrated wrappers. Illustrated with numerous color photographic reproductions, the central focus of this monographic catalogue is Zenita, as a woman, an individual, an artist, a part of the art community. The goal is nothing less than tearing down the walls between art and life. She has succeeded in doing this light-handedly, without any proclamations of pathos, with a twinkle in her eye. She draws from the world of things, of commodities, ideas and art, selecting what appears useful to her, transforming it and incorporating it in her "Zenita Universe" in the guise of texts, images, reliefs, sculptures, but usually hybrids and ensembles that transgress the boundaries of genres. Komad's oeuvre reveals great stylistic openness, even when she has elaborated a repertory of signs and symbols to which she returns time and again. It is striking how often the eye figures as a mode of expression in her pictures either in realistic form or in the style of a comic even from the light bulb head of her air work, which we can also read as a personification of the artist such wide-open eyes stare at a world replete with miracles and mysteries, waiting for something to appear in full light. Wrappers partly rubbed and creased along edges. Text in German and English. Wrappers in overall good- to good, interior in very good condition.

Skipper Kent was a restauranteur in the San Francisco Bay Area, owning Zombie Village in Oakland and Skipper Kent's in San Francisco. These "tiki" inspired restaurants were his pride and joy as he was already and avid collector of Polynesian art and artifacts. Kent was also an avid orchid collector, so we suspect this was in his library at one time, with his interest in botany. The embossed library stamp comes from the library of Herman Knoche (1870-1945). Knoche was born in San Jose, California and studied botany at Stanford University. He moved to France to further his studies at University of Montpellier; his particular interest was island vegetation.
