Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 25 x 29 cm, 224 Seiten/pages - The title Academy of Tal R should be understood as a mildly humorous provocation, since Tal R's artwork always appears free, wild, searching, vital and simply unacademic. Through an overview of his work from the past twenty years and a series of new works, the exhibition showed that Tal R from the outset has been a storyteller with a special eye for the overlooked, hidden and repressed spaces of modern life. In his art and thinking, Tal R is constantly interested in everything that goes against conformity.

Joyously chromatic and brimming with reckless vitality, the paintings, drawings and collages of Danish artist Tal R (born 1967) are anything but academic--hence the ironic title of this overview, which surveys works from the past 20 years of his vast output as well as a series of new works. Tal R has been a storyteller from the outset of his career in the 1990s, always hovering between figuration and abstraction with a special eye for the overlooked, hidden and repressed spaces of modern life. "I do painting a bit like people make a lunch box," he once declared. "I constantly have this hot-pot boiling and I throw all kinds of material into it." While the artist is well known as a prolific publisher of artist's books (usually gathering specific bodies of work), Academy of Tal R is the most substantial overview of his diverse ouevre yet published., English, Year2017, Illust.

Condition: Very Good. Stockholm, J. G. Lange, 1785-87. 8:o. (6),272,(1) + (6),328 pp. Both volumes with engraved title vignette, the latter one pasted in. Two volumes uncut and unopened, sewn as issued in contemporary grey paper wrappers with decorative packthread in the spines. Small pieces of grey paper worn off heads of spines. First volume with slight foxing. Incorrect year "1780" added on covers. Second volume with slight browning on a few pages.Du Rietz Gastronomisk spegel 48. Blomqvist Mat och dryck i Sverige p. 286. A German translation was published in 1792. Edited after the death of the author by Samuel Ödmann and with a large number of supplementary notes by the latter. The separately published index to the first part was compiled by Carl Magnus Blom. The first part treats delicacies from the plant kingdom and the second those from the animal kingdom. Bergius and his editor Ödmann were on the one hand typical proponents of the encyclopedic spirit that is often associated with the enlightenment era. Their work is however also quite unique for its time, in its attempt to list and describe what were considered delicacies in all parts of the world. The information in "Tal om läckerheter" was mainly drawn from printed sources and references are made to over 800 works, many 17th- and 18th-century travel books by, for example, Chappe d'Auteroche, Cook, Dapper, Niebuhr, Pallas and Tavernier, the linnaean disciples Forsskål, Hasselquist, Löfling, Osbeck, Sparrman and many others. Several works by Linnaeus himself, who was a friend of Bergius, are also referenced in the book, for example Flora Suecica and Hortus Cliffortianus. Furthermore, information was taken from many other sources dealing with natural history from the 16th century and onwards - works by Cardano, Mattioli, Seba and Trew, among others. Bergius and Ödmann also excerpted classical works by Aristotle, Hippocrates, Strabo and others, along with later historical works by, for example, Snorre Sturlasson and Olaus Magnus, the chroniclers of early Scandinavian history. The result is an impressive and entertaining historical and geographical survey of an incredibly varied array of foodstuffs, from juju berries to hedgehogs, many of which can no longer be tasted, such as the meat of the passenger pigeon and the dodo. A splendid new edition of "Tal om läckerheter", supplemented with scholarly commentaries and numerous fine illustrations, has recently (2015) been published in Sweden, thus reinforcing its standing as one of the great gastronomic classics in Swedish literature.
