Condition: Good. Post Card 6" x 4" Oblong, Color Photograph, Very Good.Herb Yellin (1935-2014) was the highly respected publisher and founder of Lord John Press, considered by many to be one of the most important small presses of the 20th century. His close personal relationships with many significant writers resulted in an impr…essive number of unique, collectible, signed limited edition books. Working with some of modern literature's biggest names?Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, John Updike, Eudora Welty, and Joyce Carol Oates among them?and entertaining his personal fascination with Hollywood, Yellin was able to create a new realm for Lord John Press combining the two fields; several books, including The Lord John Film Festival, were the result.

A fine copy of the ARTNews Magazine January 1977 Monthly Issue, signed by Robert Rauschenberg.

NONE of the signed copies was commercially sold, and most have disappeared. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. There is no ISBN. The Magazine Issue is now rare. Pictorial softcovers, which feature Robert Rauschenberg on the cover, as issued. Art by Rauschenberg and other artists. Contributions by various journalists, art critics, and scholars. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. American magazines, when they were still being printed regularly, almost always surpassed books in terms of production values. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the artist's major retrospective held at the National Collection of Fine Arts in 1977. Presents "Rauschenberg: The ARTNews Magazine Cover Issue". The Cover Portrait of the artist with "Bed", his 1955 combine, behind him, which is permanently housed at the museum. "A protean genius who showed America that all of life could be open to art. Rauschenberg didn't give a fig for consistency or curating his reputation; his taste was always facile, omnivorous, and hit-or-miss, yet he had a big-ness of soul and a richness of temperament that recalled Walt Whitman" (Robert Hughes). "My fear is that something interesting will happen, and I'll miss it" (Robert Rauschenberg). An absolute "must-have" title for Robert Rauschenberg collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the Front Cover by Robert Rauschenberg. It is signed directly on the Cover itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great Issue. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: According to dealers who knew him, Rauschenberg basically stopped signing books in the 1990's. Signed copies still available online are vintage, not recent, and very few. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with black-and-white and color plates. One of the greatest artists of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy.

Without DJ, as issued. Presents Robert Rauschenberg's "Photos In + Out City Limits: Boston". The great artist's collection of black-and-white photographs on Boston. It is the partial fulfillment of his 30-year-old wish to photograph the entire United States, a project he never completed. Showcases his unique approach to photography as a process of discovery, selection, and assemblage of objects from everyday life. One of the least well-known facts about Rauschenberg is that he began his career as a photographer. He makes no distinction between his photography and his painting, and he brings the same acute eye to both. The photographs, like the paintings, are formally rigorous, sensuous, and piercing. His celebrated method of appropriating found images and objects to capture the fabric, tempo, and "feel" of modern life is photographically-inspired and characterizes his large body of work. The idea of appropriation is not unique to Rauschenberg. It is a central tenet of Surrealism and continues to be the latter Movement's enduring legacy. What makes Rauschenberg's work unique is the way he has "set in motion an interplay of shapes in which the human form is integrated to a rigorous yet flamboyant sense of design, pictures in which art and real life coincide" (Pontus Hulten). "A protean genius who showed America that all of life could be open to art. Rauschenberg didn't give a fig for consistency or curating his reputation; his taste was always facile, omnivorous, and hit-or-miss, yet he had a big-ness of soul and a richness of temperament that recalled Walt Whitman" (Robert Hughes). "Mine is the need to be where it will always never be the same again. Photography is the most direct communication of non-violent contacts" (Robert Rauschenberg). An absolute "must-have" title for Robert Rauschenberg collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in pencil by Robert Rauschenberg. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great art photography book. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Rauschenberg basically stopped signing books in the 1990's. Signed copies still available online are vintage, not recent, and few.
