Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. As new condition red and white illustrated boards, blue cloth spine, and gold spine lettering contained in a condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Preliminary Page Quote by Henry James; Preface by Theodore K. Rabb; Foreword by Simon Winchester; Afterword; Glossary; Notes and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with twenty-three full color drawings by the author/artist plus illustrated front and rear endpapers. Two small repaired closed tears at lower front right jacket edge and upper front left spine edge. "The city of Venice has always provided an almost irresistible lure for both writers and artists. Henry James loved it, as did Ruskin, Browning, Pound, and Brodsky. For artists, it has been a compulsory magnet since the time of Bellini and Canaletto. By the nineteenth century there was hardly an artist of note - Whistler and Turner, Sargent and Predergast, Sickert and Bonington - who was not seduced by the city's charms, history, and aesthetic heritage. For the depiction of Venice by artists, it's a high bar that's been set, by Adam Van Doren, grandson of the Pulitizer-prize-winning poet Mark Van Doren, convincingly confronts the competition in this charming memoir, a verbal and visual account of his love affair with the city. His story is personal; like all other artists, he sees the city with and through his own eyes, but he is also well informed historically. He laces his tour with information, opinion, and citation. With Van Doren as guide, the reader's tour of the city is rich and convincing, filled with the presence of illustrious predecessors. With a thoughtful preface by the scholar Theodore K. Rabb, a charming foreword by Simon Winchester, twenty-three full-color drawings by the author/artist, and even six pages of commendably lucid notes, this is a book that will proudly take its place alongside the many others that have celebrated this city for centuries." - from the inner front jacket flap. "[Van Doren's] depictions of San Marco and the Grand Canal in Venice, architectural ruins, and boats on the Thames could double as illustrations for a Henry James tale of Americans abroad." - The New Yorker. "If I could paint like anybody, I'd love to be able to paint like Van Doren." - Graydon Carter. "Has there ever been a seductress quite like Venice? By her nature, her light, her complexion and her architecture, she conquers each of her suitors. Adam Van Doren is no exception. What makes An Artist in Venice exceptional is Van Doren's paintings and his words. Combined, they form a love letter to one of Humanity's most remarkable achievements." - Morley Safer. "[Van Doren] has such a gift for watercolors.with a bold wet look that still sits up on the page." - John Updike. "Venice is an ideal source, and metaphor, for Van Doren's art. Along its canals and alleys - which he has visited regularly since 1973 - colorful historic architecture and brilliant natural light intersect at dramatic angles with kaleidoscope effect." - Mark D. Mitchell, Assistant Curator of American Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art. Springer, Nick (map); Van Doren, Adam (jacket art); Scarbrough, Carl W.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Seit zehn Jahren geht Josef Trattner mit seinen selbst entworfenen, aus leichtem Schaumstoff gefertigten Sitzmöbeln auf Sofafahrten. 2013 führte ihn die Reise nach Polen: International bekannte polnische Schriftsteller ebenso wie über die Grenzen Polens hinaus noch wenig rezipierte junge Autoren nahmen auf Trattners Sofa Platz, immer wieder auch Musiker, Journalisten und Fotografen. Trattner gelingt so eine doppelte Vermittlungsleistung zwischen bildender Kunst und Literatur sowie zwischen Bekanntem und (literarischem) Neuland. Die Sofas wechseln ständig ihre Plätze im öffentlichen Raum, wodurch Trattners Gesprächspartner zu Gästen in ihren eigenen Städten werden.Neue Perspektiven auf vertraute Orte erschließen sich den Sprechenden, die Grenze zwischen öffentlichem Raum und Privatem verschwimmt. Das sesshafte Möbel, das der Künstler und seine Autoren schultern, wird zur Metapher ihrer Existenz. Die hier veröffentlichten Texte können von der Begegnung mit der Künstlerfigur Josef Trattner ihren Ausgang nehmen, oder sie entwickeln ganz autonom und weit entfernt von der 'Trattnerschen Situation' ihre Gedanken, Fiktionen und Träume.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Complete set of works published by Silver Salamander Press during its years of operation between 1993 and 2000.

Silver Salamander was an important small press in the Northwest horror scene of the 90's, focusing on new works from contemporary writers. Silver Salamander and Pelan's previous efforts with Axolotl press, helped popularize and in some cases discover the talents of many important writers in the fantasy and horror genres such as James P. Blaylock. Michael Shea, Tim Powers, Charles de Lint, and others. This set includes works from Thomas Ligotti, Steve Rasnic Tem, Roberta Lannes, Lucy Taylor, Stephen Laws, Brian Hodge, Elizabeth Massie, Wayne Allen Sallee, Simon Clark, Adam-Troy Castro, Nancy Springer, Kim Antieau, Jack Ketchum, and Michael Shea. 17 works in all, fine condition.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 296 pages. Published in 2012. Retrospective Monograph. The single most valuable book on the photographic art and achievement of Saul Leiter ever published. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, including its Facsimile Reissued Edition, which was released as a memorial tribute after Saul Leiter died the following year, on November 23, 2013. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out upon publication. The First Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Kehrer Verlag: Oversize-volume format. Red cloth boards with black titles embossed on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Saul Leiter. Essays by various contributors. Pictorial slipcase. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated (for the images) and uncoated (for the text) stock paper in Germany to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in its First Edition format, "Saul Leiter: Retrospektive". The definitive retrospective on the greatest photographic re-discovery of our time. "Nearly 40 years went by before his extraordinary photography was re-discovered" (Publisher's blurb). That is not at all surprising because Saul Leiter gave street photography a fresh, new look that differed from ALL of the other great street photographers of his - and our - time. Instead of the gritty, hard-edged, "in-your-face" imagery of Garry Winogrand (or Martin Parr today), Leiter's "look" is melancholy, ephemeral, and lyrical, deploying a consistently understated palette to convey some of the most sublime images of The Street we will ever see. Saul Leiter understood that photography is the exact opposite of painting (because he was good at both) : Painting is about a "vision" that one realizes on canvas. Photography is about developing and mastering a "look" - by taking thousands of photographs, even if or because one is Saul Leiter - that somehow becomes identifiably and uniquely one's own. Precisely because anyone can take photographs, a distinctive look is much harder, if not altogether impossible, to achieve than one thinks for most practicing photographers, who must inevitably fall back on the established look of a particular genre, whether it's portraiture, street photography, or the nude. The one great contribution of photography is to re-define the visual arts through its "look" aesthetics instead of through "vision", the counter-productive and exhausted idea it inherited from painting. Instead, Saul Leiter - and the truly great photographers such as Avedon, on the one hand, and Robert Frank, on the other - found and perfected a look that is uniquely theirs, and theirs alone, which all other (derivative) photographers imitate at their peril. An absolute "must-have" title for Saul Leiter collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Saul Leiter. 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 Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with plates. One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century and our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SAUL LEITER TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 3868282580.
