› Find signed collectible books: 'The Comics Before 1945'Book summary:In the five decades after the Yellow Kid first appeared in 1895, the funnies became an essential element of American life. Comic strip characters, Buster Brown, the Katzenjammer Kids, Krazy Kat, Tarzan, Dick Tracy, Popeye, Blondie, Li'l Abner, were everywhere. They starred in live-action and animated films, stage plays, and radio programs. Their phrases invaded the language; their adventures, which reflected societal changes, were retold in books and inspired hit songs.
This visually stunning, comprehensive survey, copiously illustrated with rare original comics art, is the most authoritative history of prewar American newspaper comics currently in print. It documents the major trends in the funnies business, decade by decade, and presents in-depth biographies of 21 of the most influential creators of the era. "The Comics Before 1945 joins Brian Walker's "The Comics Since 1945 to form a classic survey of American popular culture by one of the greatest authorities in the field.

Elizabethan Treasures: The Hardwick Hall Textilesby Santina M. LeveyISBN 0810963531 (0-8109-6353-1)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Elizabethan Treasures: The Hardwick Hall Textiles'Book summary:Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, England, houses a world-famous collection of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century textiles. The fact that these exquisite pillow covers, wall hangings, bedcovers, carpets, and upholsteries, many decorated with superb embroidery, have survived in such good condition is little short of miraculous, and due in part to the formidable Countess of Shrewsbury, better known as Bess of Hardwick, who built the house in the 1590s. In her will, Bess instructed her heirs to 'have speciall care and regard to p'serve the same from all manner of wett, mothe and other hurte or spoyle thereof'. In this first illustrated and scholarly account of the collection, Santina Levey places the textiles in their day to day context. Using ledgers and other archival material she describes the origins of the different types of textiles, whether purchased ready-made or put together and decorated by embroiderers, whose work is illustrated by stunning close-up details. Inventories, letters, and personal reminiscences are used to chart the later history of the house and the inevitable alterations that four hundred years of use wrought on the original furnishings. Complete with a glossary and bibliography, this is an invaluable source of information for anyone interested in Elizabethan textiles. [via]

Jane Freilicherby Klaus Kertess, Jane Freilicher, Thomas Nozkowski, John AshberyISBN 0810949636 (0-8109-4963-6)
Hardcover, Harry N Abrams Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Jane Freilicher'Book summary:Jane Freilicher, one of the most admired painters at work today, came of age in the era of Abstract Expressionism. Studying with Hans Hofmann, she became a pivotal member of an important group of New York artists and writers, including the poet John Ashbery (who has written poems in which she figures), the photographer Rudy Burckhardt, and the painters Fairfield Porter and Larry Rivers. Yet for more than 50 years, she has pursued her own distinctive style, an intimate and painterly realism.
This book is a comprehensive survey of Freilicher's career, written by Klaus Kertess, a well-known authority on contemporary art. Lavishly illustrated with more than 150 images, the volume features five decades of her work, including the New York cityscapes, landscapes of Long Island, and still lifes, especially of flowers, for which she is best known. This beautiful monograph will stand as the book on a painter whose unique vision, long acclaimed by her fellow artists, has attracted increasing critical interest and what one writer has called a cult following among collectors.

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Life of Collecting: Victor and Sally Ganz'Book summary:For more than 45 years, from the time they purchased Picasso's "The Dream" in 1941, Victor and Sally Ganz accumulated an eminent collection of 20th-century art. The colour reproductions in this book are accompanied by essays analyzing the Ganzes' vision and commitment to contemporary art. From the start of their collection, the Ganzes pursued their belief that modern culture is defined by the achievements of only a few great artists. For 20 years they collected Picasso's work exclusively, but then, realizing that Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella and Eva Hesse were Picasso's true heirs, the Ganzes began to buy their works and developed close relationships with them. The book's illustrations include photographs of the pair with their family, friends, and the artists they helped to establish. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Marcel Duchamp'Book summary:The nineteenth century ends in 1914 with Picasso, the twentieth begins with Marcel Duchamp.' This statement by the art critic Pierre Cabanne characterizes the French artist Marcel Duchamp (1887-1967) as a radical innovator, whose influence on the development of present-day art can hardly be overestimated. Almost all the avant-garde movements since 1945 - pop art, arte povera, conceptual art, performance art, multi-media art, and almost all post-modernist trends - are derived in one way or another from his artistic studies. Although Duchamp also left a limited number of paintings - including the cubist Nude Descending a Staircase of 1912 and his masterpiece, the painting on glass of The Bride stripped bare by her Bachelors, even - he is above all known as the creator of the 'ready-mades', everyday objects such as a snow shovel, a bicycle wheel, a bottle rack or a urinal, which Duchamp promoted into works of art by adding his signature and a title. In this way he put up resistance to what he called 'retinal art', art which had no other object than to please the eye. He did not think the unique, handmade and visually pleasing aspect of a work of art important, but rather the meaning and the value which the observer gave to the object. From this point of view, which in fact also contained an element of humour, Duchamp realigned the frontiers of art, and his radical new ideas inspired whole generations of artists. In his life-long search for alternatives to traditional artistic practice, Duchamp was fascinated by the art of mechanical reproduction, which was expressed not only in his ready-mades, boites-en-valise and his etchings, but also in the many copies, replicas, multiples and photographic reproductions, which were made of his work during and after his lifetime. This aspect forms the central theme of this richly illustrated study, which offers a new and often unexpected look at the life and oeuvre of one of the most remarkable artists of the twentieth century. Francis M. Naumann is an expert on Duchamp and Man Ray. He has previously published Marcel Duchamp: Artist of the Century and New York Dada [via]

Drawing from the roster of award-winning residences featured since 1956 in Record Houses, the magazine's prestigious "best of" annual issue, this revised and expanded edition of the popular 1996 Abrams book showcases more than 75 of the most innovative and influential houses built in the last 50 years.
Designed by such luminaries as Philip Johnson, Richard Meier, Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, Frank Gehry, and this year's Pritzker Prize-winner, Thom Mayne of Morphosis, these houses have helped shape the direction of residential architecture. Texts by six noted architectural writers provide illuminating commentary on the key trends and developments of residential architecture in the last half century, and each decade is represented by a stunning portfolio of photographs, along with numerous plans and drawings. Both inspiring and informative, this book chronicles a fascinating period in modern American architecture. [via]More editions of Modern American Houses: Fifty Years of Design in Architectural Record:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Olmec World'Book summary:Between 1400 and 400 BC, in what is now Mexico and Central America, the Olmec people created a magnificent culture, one too often overshadowed by those of the Maya and the Aztec. This catalogue accompanies an exhibition of over 250 Olmec works of art - ceramic, jade and stone - on display at the Art Museum, Princeton University in December 1995, and travelling to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Essays by prominent scholars offer interpretations of such topics as the power of objects within the context of the Olmec ritual system. These identify and illustrate the fundamental themes of Olmec small-scale sculpture, the sacred role of the maize in Olmec ideology, and the relationship of Olmec culture to later civilizations. An illustrated glossary of motifs and symbols is provided to clarify the often highly abstract style and encoded iconography of the Olmec. The book also includes precise mineralogical descriptions of the lithic materials they used. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Patterns That Connect: Social Symbolism in Ancient and Tribal Art'Book summary:The American art historian, Carl Schuster (1904-1969), discovered a set of patterns designed by ancient peoples to illustrate their ideas about kinship. They tattooed and painted such "statements" on their bodies and clothing, and carved them on tools, game boards, pots, ceremonial objects, coins and other items, and carried these with them wherever they went. Through broad comparative study, Schuster decoded this iconography, which lasted over 10,000 years, crossed continents, and outlived most of the cultures that sheltered it. Having spent more than three decades gathering evidence for his study, Schuster delayed publication while he searched for more. This book, by his colleague Edmund Carpenter, distils his research to a single volume. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Van Gogh's Van Goghs'Book summary:This lavish but manageable book is the catalog for one of the most successful van Gogh exhibitions ever (at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., through January 3, 1999, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from January 17, 1999, to April 4, 1999). Judging from the haunting, beautifully reproduced paintings and drawings in the book--which range from the iconic to the rarely seen--it is easy to see why hordes of people keep pressing through overcrowded galleries to get a glimpse of the originals. The ones here are all from the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, where most of Vincent's work resides.
Author Richard Kendall does a heroic job of writing van Gogh's tortured story one more time. Few artists have analyzed their own work with the clarity and insight Vincent brought to his. And Kendall relies heavily on Vincent's letters to his brother Theo, giving the reader broad access to the ultimate expert, the painter himself. The wealth of color plates is intoxicating--70 paintings, including The Potato Eaters and other early, gloomy works, a dozen self-portraits, Almond Blossom, Wheatfield with Crows, Butterflies and Poppies, The Bedroom, The Zouave, and The Courtesan (van Gogh's take on a Japanese geisha in full regalia).
It seems trivial to further praise the book's designers for holding it to only 150 pages, but the length makes an important difference. This is a volume that fits comfortably on the lap, to be perused and enjoyed at close range, for hours if you want, and not just displayed in unwieldy glory on a coffee table. --Peggy Moorman [via]
