1. 1 [cent] life. [Edited by Sam Francis] 1 [cent] life. [Edited by Sam Francis] Just What Was It That Made Yesterday's Art So Different, So Appealing? Early Pop (Exhibition : 2007) Although this was artist and poet Ting's conception, it was under the guidance of Sam Francis that the monumental project took form. Francis assembled the group of artists to create the 68 lithographs that would accompany Ting's poems. The images created were heavily, although not exclusively, in the Pop idiom. Francis also supplied funding for the project and brought in the Swiss publisher Kornfeld. The works were then exhibited at the Kornfeld und Klipstein gallery in Bern.
2. Amerikansk pop-konst, 106 former av kärlek och förtvivlan : Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Amerikansk pop-konst, 106 former av kärlek och förtvivlan : Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, George Segal, Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselman : [Utställning] Moderna museet, Stockholm, 29 februari-12 april 1964 / [Utställningens arbetskommité och katalogredaktion, Carlo Derkert ... et al.] Just What Was It That Made Yesterday's Art So Different, So Appealing? Early Pop (Exhibition : 2007) This very early major European show of "American Pop Art" appeared even before the important Venice biennial. Here the key pieces of Pop painting and sculpture are already in place. Pontus Hultén arranged this seminal exhibition and its beautiful catalogue while director of the Moderna Museet.
3. Art in America, Vol. 52, no. 2, April 1964 Art in America, Vol. 52, no. 2, April 1964 Just What Was It That Made Yesterday's Art So Different, So Appealing? Early Pop (Exhibition : 2007) Roy Lichtenstein was commissioned to create the cover for Art in America's New York issue. It depicts a fantasy panorama of the World's Fair that was then being held in New York. Lichtenstein was one of the young artists hired to produce a mural for Philip Johnson's New York pavilion at the Fair.
4. Autobiography Sol LeWitt 1980 Autobiography Sol LeWitt 1980 Sol LeWitt, Representation, and an Audience of One(Exhibition : 2008) This is perhaps the best known of LeWitt's photographic books. It is an inventory of objects in his New York studio. Repeating the familiar format of nine uniformly sized photographs per page, the images are grouped thematically. A sense of the artist comes through, despite the total absence of text.
5. Brick Wall Brick Wall Sol LeWitt, Representation, and an Audience of One(Exhibition : 2008) This publication displays side-by-side images of an identical section of wall photographed at varying times of day. The overall effect is highly abstract, yet the concept of an overarching system--in this case temporality--remains.
6. Carbon / by Lothar Baumgarten Carbon / by Lothar Baumgarten A Photographic Look at the New American West (Exhibition : 2008) German installation artist Lothar Baumgarten’s work often has an anthropological bent. With this work, in both the original installation format and then as an artist’s book, Baumgarten uses the graphic logos of various rail companies and photographic images of rail lines to explore the remnants of the impact railroads had as European-based cultures collided with Native American civilization during the period of Western expansion. The decline of the railroad to its present almost defunct state flavors the presentation. -- This copy has been signed by the artist.
7. Drawings while waiting for an idea / James Rosenquist Drawings while waiting for an idea / James Rosenquist Lapp Princess Press : A Small Press and Artist Books from the late 1970s (Exhibition : 2007) Rosenquist's book gives the impression of a stream of consciousness look at the creative process. He created drafts for twelve hypothetical projects, complete with explanatory text, which he supposedly came up with while "waiting for an idea" for the Lapp Princess project.
8. Drawings, June and July 1977 / Jackie Ferrara Drawings, June and July 1977 / Jackie Ferrara Lapp Princess Press : A Small Press and Artist Books from the late 1970s (Exhibition : 2007) Ferrara is known primarily as a sculptor, creating exterior spaces or wooden maquettes with an architectural idiom. Here, strict bird's-eye and elevation drawings of intricate projects create geometrically abstract patterns.
9. Family / [Victor Burgin] Family / [Victor Burgin] Lapp Princess Press : A Small Press and Artist Books from the late 1970s (Exhibition : 2007) Burgin used the format of a child's primer to produce a commentary on the role of the family in an industrial environment. Facing each brief statement is a page with a photograph, the letter of the first word in the statement in both upper and lower cases, and a verb. The result is a powerful critique on contemporary family life.
10. Fifty photographs : Edward Weston / Merle Armitage, Donald Bear, Robinson Jeffers, Edward Weston Fifty photographs : Edward Weston / Merle Armitage, Donald Bear, Robinson Jeffers, Edward Weston A Photographic Look at the New American West (Exhibition : 2008) The receipt of a 1937 Guggenheim fellowship afforded Weston the opportunity to return to his long-held interest in landscape photography, particularly of the American West. Weston summarized his highly personal aims for this genre in his statement of purpose for the fellowship. For Weston the photograph is “not just documentation of a given subject matter, but its sublimation, --the revealing of its significance. I have no desire to make a pictorial record of the 'Western Scene'; rather I want to photograph MY Western Scene.” -- This book, which followed the major 1946 Whitney retrospective, is a celebration of Weston's career. Among the fifty previously unpublished photographs hand selected by Weston are images that originated from the Guggenheim fellowship. -- Edward Weston initialed this copy.
11. From Monteluco to Spoleto, December 1976 From Monteluco to Spoleto, December 1976 Sol LeWitt, Representation, and an Audience of One(Exhibition : 2008) This artist book accompanied an exhibition at the Van Abbemuseum. Once again the photographs are grouped nine to a page, with a visual theme uniting the images. The photographs were all taken in December 1976 between the two eponymous towns in Umbria. The use of color further enriches the contrasts and similarities among the images.
12. From the Missouri west : photographs / by Robert Adams From the Missouri west : photographs / by Robert Adams A Photographic Look at the New American West (Exhibition : 2008) Robert Adams has spent much of his career photographing the American West. An early proponent of the new topographics movement, Adams' approach to photography considers man's intervention in the modern landscape. This work, which takes the Missouri River as the starting point of the pioneer west, took Adams out of the suburbs to "rediscover some of the land forms that impressed our forebears." His only proviso was that each image includes some trace of man.
13. Inches and field / Sylvia Plimack Mangold Inches and field / Sylvia Plimack Mangold Lapp Princess Press : A Small Press and Artist Books from the late 1970s (Exhibition : 2007) The delicate sketches in this book recall Plimack Mangold's landscape painting and her trompe l'oeil tape frames. The work includes handwritten notes about her art. Much of the book is explained in her comment, "In my mind these works are as much about the painting of the perimeter of the landscape. The subject is the perimeter. The subject is a series of decisions."
14. Iroha-biki Moncho [Book of crests and designs] Iroha-biki Moncho [Book of crests and designs] Summer kimono / the color of blue sky... / morning pilgrimage (Exhibition : 2008) The display on a kimono of the mon or family crest (or house crest in the case of geisha) followed a strict protocol. The most formal robes, both male and female, carried five crests, three across the shoulder area in the back and two in the front. Less formal wear held three emblems, two in front and one in the center of the back. One crest was displayed on the back for more common wear. These emblems announced one's familial or, in certain cases, civic affiliation.
15. Japan, the Place and the People Japan, the Place and the People Summer kimono / the color of blue sky... / morning pilgrimage (Exhibition : 2008) This is one of many amply illustrated books designed to introduce Japanese culture to the West. The use of color reproductions heightens the impact of the exotic and evocative images.
16. Japanese kimono designs Japanese kimono designs Summer kimono / the color of blue sky... / morning pilgrimage (Exhibition : 2008) Many decisions went into the commissioning of a new kimono. Fabrics and colors had to be chosen, generally based on the season and the age of the wearer. The selection of the overall motif was key to establishing the aesthetic statement the wearer wished to express. Kimono makers made available to their clients catalogs of themes offered by various workshops, as are represented in these two volumes.

19. Keith : six drawings, 1979 / Chuck Close Keith : six drawings, 1979 / Chuck Close Lapp Princess Press : A Small Press and Artist Books from the late 1970s (Exhibition : 2007) Chuck Close chose a leparello format for his Lapp Princess project. Here, he juxtaposes six completed printed portraits of his friend and frequent model Keith Hollingworth with actual size details showing his grid process. Close used a different technique for each work, including watercolor, fingerprint smudges, and swizzle stick scratches. -- This was the last Lapp Princess book overseen by Amy Baker.
20. L'histoire du costume féminin mondial de l'an 5318 avant J. C. à nos jours L'histoire du costume féminin mondial de l'an 5318 avant J. C. à nos jours Summer kimono / the color of blue sky... / morning pilgrimage (Exhibition : 2008) This ambitious work sets to explain the complete history of women's fashion from across the globe. The colorful pochoir illustrations are rendered with the elegant line of the 1920s while maintaining a stylistic echo of the culture represented, as exemplified by the Japanese section.
