Rare first 1969 printing of the seminal "Art Povera", the phenomenal and now legendary critical/photographic book by the great Italian art historian, critic and curator Germano Celant (1940—2020) that internationally established the so-called Art Povera / Arte Povera movement (meaning "poor art", coined by Celant in 1967) and published by Studio Vista, London and printed in Italy.

Includes profiles of major artists of the movement, including a short text followed by pages of full-page photographs for each artist. Artists featured: Walter de Maria, Michelangelo Pisteletto, Stephen Kaltenbach, Richard Long, Mario Merz, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Beuys, Eva Hesse, Michael Heizer, Ger van Elk, Lawrence Weiner, Luciano Fabro, Bruce Nauman, Joseph Kosuth, Jan Dibbets, Giovanni Anselmo, Robert Barry, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Dennis Oppenheim, Barry Flanagan, Robert Smithson, Giulio Paolini, Reiner Ruthenbeck, Alighiero Boetti, Giuseppe Penone, Franz Erhard Walther, Hans Haacke, Gilberto Zorio, Robert Morris, Marinus Boezem, Carl Andre, Emilio Prini, Richard Serra.

"This book does not aim at being an objective and general analysis of the phenomenon of art or life, but is rather an attempt to flank (both art and life) as accomplices of the changes and attitudes in the development of their daily becoming. This book does not attempt to be objective since the awareness of objectivity is false consciousness. The book, made up of photographs and written documents, bases its critical and editorial assumptions on the knowledge that criticism and iconographic documents give limited vision and partial perception of artistic work. The book, when it reproduces the documents of artistic work, refutes the linguistic mediation of photography. The book, even though it wants to avoid the logic of consumption, is a consumer's item. ... This book produces a collection of already old material. ... In this book there is no need to reflect in order to seek a unitary and reassuring value, immediately refuted by the the authors themselves, rather there is the necessity to look into it for the changes, limits, precariousness and instability of artistic work." — text from Celant's introduction "Stating That."

A must.

Rare first 1989 edition of Broken Music, an essential compendium for records created by visual artists. Complete with original flexi-disc. The publication was edited by Ursula Block and Michael Glasmeier and published in 1989 by DAAD and Gelbe Musik, Berlin.

A special selection of Judd’s minimalist works curated by his son, Flavin Judd.

This elaborately designed catalog follows the first solo exhibition of Donald Judd’s work in South Korea for nearly 10 years. Judd (1928–94) had a personal connection to Korea, having been stationed in Seoul in 1947. The Korean concept of pungsu, similar to the Chinese Feng shui, was instrumental to his visualization of space. Curated by Flavin Judd, the artist’s son and artistic director of the Judd Foundation, the exhibition presented more than three decades of the artist’s work, and features his experiments in Minimalism across multiple mediums. These works are documented in this publication, which has been conceived in close collaboration with Flavin Judd. The design is a reflection of Donald Judd’s aesthetic values. Its unique binding and layout, which investigate the relationship between presence and emptiness, speak to the rigorous attention to simplicity of form that characterizes the artist’s work.

Rare catalogue for the 1987 exhibition Minimal Art In Australia: A Contemplative Art, edited by curator and founder of Melbourne's legendary Pinacotheca Gallery, Bruce Pollard, and published by MOCA, Brisbane. Illustrated throughout with the work of exhibiting artists Peter Booth, Dale Hickey, Robert Hunter, Michael Johnson, Tony McGillick, Paul Partos, John Peart, Trevor Vickers, Dale Watkins, accompanied by biographies, an introduction by Pollard, plus reproduced notes for the Minimalism Exhibition at Ewing Gallery (1973) by Pollard and Minimal Art Exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria (1976) by Jennifer Phipps, bibliography, plus additional text extracts by Doris L. Bell and Hal Foster.

Bruce Pollard (b. 1936), gallerist, established the Pinacotheca Gallery in a dark St Kilda bayside Edwardian mansion in 1967, and relocated it to an "austere, almost dungeon like" old hat factory in Richmond in 1970. Pinacotheca's avant-garde stance was paralleled only by Sydney's Inhibodress and Watters galleries, and was the only gallery in Victoria showing experimental work in the late 1960s and 1970s, exhibiting works by Art Language artists Ian Burn, Roger Cutforth and Mel Ramsden, Dale Hickey, Peter Booth, Dale Hickey, Robert Hunter and Robert Rooney. Pinacotheca's exhibitors were in the vanguard of Conceptualism; during The Field, the controversial NGV show of Australian conceptual abstraction, Pinacotheca concurrently advertised 'for viewing' 15 of The Field artists in its stockroom alongside a solo by Rollin Schlicht. Focussing on artists interested in post-object, conceptual and other non-traditional art forms, amongst the more than 300 artists who showed there included Rosalie Gascoigne, James Gleeson, Ti Parks, John Nixon, Bill Henson, Tim Johnson, Tony Tuckson, Paul Partos, Joseph Kosuth, Stelarc... Purposely, there was little documentation accompanying exhibitions.

Very Good copy with some light wear.

An expansive collection of texts providing insight into the inner life, creativity, and practice of the innovative American artist Anne Truitt.

Edited by Alexandra Truitt
Foreword by Miguel de Baca

Spanning more than fifty years, this comprehensive volume collects the letters, journal entries, interviews, lectures, reviews, and remembrances of the groundbreaking twentieth-century artist Anne Truitt (1921–2004). Alexandra Truitt, the artist’s daughter and a leading expert on her work, has carefully selected these writings, most of which are previously unpublished, from the artist’s papers at Bryn Mawr College as well as private holdings.

Revelations about the artist’s life abound. Among Truitt’s earliest writings are excerpts from journals written more than a decade before her first artistic breakthrough, in which she establishes themes that would occupy her for decades. In later texts she shares uncommon insights into the practices of other artists and writers, both predecessors and peers. Like Truitt’s published journals, these writings offer a compelling narrative of her development as an artist and efforts to find her voice as a writer. They show that Truitt’s creative impulse to translate the inner workings of her mind into a symbolic language, so important to understanding her sculpture, predates her art.

First edition of the wonderful (in progress) catalogue raisonné of Piero Manzoni — General Catalogue — edited by Germano Celant and published by Nuova Prearo Editore, Milan, 1975. This heavy, richly illustrated book provided the first overview of Piero Manzoni’s oeuvre. Illustrated exclusively with black and white photographs, the book featured an extensive text by Germano Celant, divided into chapters, a selection of writings by the artist and the register of works “ordered chronologically by groups, determined by type” and the appendices with exhibitions and bibliography. It was later re-printed and expanded in 1989. Texts in Italian and French.

Piero Manzoni (1933—1963) was an Italian artist best known for his ironic approach to avant-garde art. Often compared to the work of Yves Klein, his own work anticipated, and directly influenced, the work of a generation of younger Italian artists brought together by the critic Germano Celant in the first Arte Povera exhibition held in Genoa, 1967. Manzoni is most famous for a series of artworks that call into question the nature of the art object, directly prefiguring Conceptual Art. His work eschews normal artist's materials, instead using everything from rabbit fur to human excrement in order to "tap mythological sources and to realize authentic and universal values". His work is widely seen as a critique of the mass production and consumerism that was changing Italian society (the Italian economic miracle) after World War II. Italian artists such as Manzoni had to negotiate the new economic and material order of post-war Europe through inventive artistic practices which crossed geographic, artistic, and cultural borders.

Very Good copy. Book is Near Fine in every way, yet missing dust jacket, therefore VG.

Scarce and visually rich monograph on Supports/Surfaces, the radical painting movement that began in the South of France in the late-1960s, published in Japan on the occasion of a rare major exhibition that toured throughout 1993—1994. This definitive catalogue gives a generous overview of the many works of the artists of Supports/Surfaces from 1966—1974 through colour and black and white photographs. It also provides texts (in Japanese and French), interviews, historical photos of the group and their installations, work list, a chronology, a biography and many essays. One of the few major publications on the work of Supports/Surfaces. Comes with original 1993 illustrated exhibition flyer inserted.

Supports/Surfaces developed away from Paris, in the south of France, with the first major exhibition held in 1969 at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. In June 1969, during an exhibition at the Havre Museum entitled “La peinture en question”, Vincent Bioulès, Louis Cane, Marc Devade, Daniel Dezeuze, Noël Dolla, Jean-Pierre Pincemin, Patrick Saytour, André Valensi, Bernard Pagès and Claude Viallat write in the catalog: “The subject of the painting is the painting itself and paintings on display refer only to themselves. They make no appeal to an “elsewhere” (the personality of the artist, his biography, history of art, for example). Early exhibtions took place in towns like Coaraze, Montpellier, Nimes and Nice in the mid-1960s. After the student revolts of 1968, the movement ratcheted up its activities, exploding in such exhibitions as “Supports/Surfaces,” which took place at ARC in Paris in September 1970. These shows occurred at or around the same time as those of other French artist groups like GRAV and BMPT (Daniel Buren, Olivier Mosset, Michel Parmentier and Niele Toroni). Like them, Supports/Surfaces questioned the role of painting as both an art object and a social one.

As its name suggests, Supports/Surfaces was interested in articulating what its artists felt were all too readily ignored aspects of painting: basic concepts like ‘support’ and ‘surface,’ for example, and the presence of painting as a product of individual labor. At the same time, these artists were very much interested in painting and its own peculiar history. Daniel Dezeuze points out that he was looking for a means of “revolting against the art world and the world in general without having to make anti-art.” (Raphael Rubinstein, Polychrome Profusion: Selected Art Criticism: 1990 – 2002.) In fact, those involved with Supports/Surfaces, as Rubinstein also notes, were some of the few French artists of the period to engage directly with American Painting from Abstract Expressionism to Color Field, albeit doing so within the context of their Maoist discourse.

As Ian Burn noted in his important 1970 essay ‘Conceptual art as art’, Jacks’s "recent work in New York has moved beyond painting into conceptualized presentation of numeral systems and serial techniques". Jacks’s first opportunity to present this new work was facilitated by Sol LeWitt, who selected him to inaugurate a rolling program of free exhibitions at the New York Cultural Centre in January 1971 – the ‘International Artist’s Invitational’ – with each exhibiting artist showing just a single work and selecting the artist to follow. Further exhibitions include the New York Cultural Centre, the Whitney Museum Artists Resource Centre, 112 Greene St. Gallery, and Resse Palley, all New York, plus A Space, Toronto, all documented herein.

Robert Jacks (1943—2014) was one of Australia’s most significant and accomplished abstract artists. Jacks studied sculpture at Prahran Technical College from 1958–1960 and painting at RMIT in 1961–62. His first solo exhibition, a sell-out at Gallery A in Melbourne, was held to great acclaim in 1966 and in 1968 his work was included in the landmark exhibition, The Field, at the National Gallery of Victoria. Jacks left Australia in 1968, spending ten years living and working in Canada and the United States. It was during this period, much of which was spent in New York's Soho, in which Jack was invited to exhibit by Sol LeWitt and Robert Rauschenberg at the New York Cultural Centre in 1971. When he returned to Australia in 1978, Jacks brought back a finely-tuned, mature visual language and experience that makes him a unique figure within the history and development of twentieth century Australian art. Over the subsequent decades, Jacks was collected by every state gallery, the subject of numerous monographs and honoured with a retrospective at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2014. In 2001, the Bendigo Art Gallery established an art award in Jacks' honour.

Very Good, mild age/wear, mild rust to staples.

Extremely rare catalogue of the great OBJECT & IDEA exhibition, presented at the National Gallery of Victoria in 1973, curated by Brian Finemore (Curator of Australian Art and co-curator of The Field in 1968). With the assistance of Graeme Sturgeon (Exhibitions Officer 1970–1980), this important survey exhibition helped in defining radical new shifts in contemporary Australian art at the start of the 1970s by bringing together new work by 6 young Australian artists; John Armstrong, Tony Coleing, Aleks Danko, Nigel Lendon, Ti Parks and Imants Tillers, all of whom are profiled here in-depth with illustrations of many of their works, along with biographies, portraits, and notes. Introduction by Finemore and Sturgeon, with texts by Brian Finemore, Gregory Heath, Ian Millis and John Stringer. Designed by Graeme Sturgeon and Melbourne artist Peter Cripps. "This book records an exhibition and poses some questions for Australian Art in 1973. New Art? New Aesthetic? New Artist? New Museum?". One of the finest, yet seldom seen Australian art catalogues. Highly recommended.

“[...] The new art was to be a new reality. It was to be what Duchamp called a cervellite that is a "brainfact". It is from that stream of tradition with its influxions from the tributaries of De Stijl and the Russian Constructivists, this Australian exhibition and "Object and Idea" ultimately comes. I do not say that these six artists are disciples of Duchamp, or that their work is imitative of his art style. What l do say is that their work is in the stylistic and cultural tradition which developed from taking up the options his work proposed. This exhibition is not a manifesto, the artists are not group artists. But it is well to remember that a fundamental revision of collective sensibility, of attitudes to life, often finds its first expression in art and the philosophical disciplines. In the work of these men one may perhaps examine the tides which will direct the future. Their art is of the present yet hints of change.” — from Finemore’s “New Art?” essay.

Very rare, important publication distributed on the occasion of the exhibition "The Situation Now: Object and Post-Object Art", 16 July—6 August 1971, Central Street Gallery, Sydney, NSW. Curated by Terry Smith and Donald Brook, The Situation Now: Object and Post-Object Art, was a survey exhibition of conceptual and experimental works in Australia, sponsored by the Contemporary Art Society (CAS) held at Central Street. Artists in the exhibition: David Aspden, Michael Johnson, Trevor Vickers, Guy Stuart, Aleksander Danko, Nigel Lendon, Tony Coleing, Ti Parks, Clive Murray-White, Bill Gregory, Robert Hunter, Optronic Kinetics (Bert Flugelman, Jim McDonnell, David Smith), Tim Johnson, Simon Close, Robert Rooney, Dale Hickey, Neil Evans, Ian Burn and Mel Ramsden; with further contributions by Peter Kennedy, Mike Parr, Noel Hutchison, Bruce Pollard, Terry Smith, Donald Brook, Joel Fisher.

"THIS EXHIBITION has been put together less as a display of merely good and/or interesting art (although we think it is that), but more as a series of statements which amount to an argument about the nature of the most recent changes in art."

The staple-bound, stamped publication acts as a catalogue and reader, consisting of of discussions, interviews and artist statements, providing a deeper understanding of the various conceptual operations of these contemporary Australian artists and contributors, and important projects they were associated with (Inhibodress, Pinacotheca, Tin Sheds Art Workshop, Art & Language, et al.).

Very Good copy with some tanning to the edges and light wear.

Rare and historic publication produced by the Institute of Modern Art in Brisbane on the occasion of the exhibition "Q SPACE + Q SPACE ANNEX 1980 + 1981", curated by Peter Cripps in 1986.

"In 1981+82 Q SPACE and Q SPACE ANNEX, directed by John Nixon, operated in Brisbane as part of a series of strategies by artists involved in the reorientation and remodelling of contemporary art practice. Over the two years that Q SPACE and Q SPACE ANNEX operated, seventy seven exhibitions were held. Q SPACE, as with the earlier V SPACE, derived its meaning from the state in which it operated ― Q standing for Queensland. Works by the following artists and groups were shown at these spaces: Peter Tyndall, Jenny Watson, Imants Tillers, Hilary Boscott, John Davis, Robert MacPherson, John Nixon, John Smith and Anti-Music. This exhibition and catalogue have been compiled from the Q SPACE archives. Where possible we have attempted to maintain the original method and feeling of this documentation." — Peter Cripps, Brisbane, June 1986

Includes texts by Peter Cripps and John Nixon, as well as an interview between the two artists, alongside exhibition photography of each exhibition held, shot by John Nixon and Robert MacPherson, and a complete exhibition history.

An important piece of Australian contemporary art history. Highly recommended.

Fine—As New copy.

The fast out-of-print two-volume publication published to accompany 'The Field Revisited' 50th anniversary exhibition at The Ian Potter Centre, NGV Australia, 27 April - 26 August, 2018. Housed in a transparent plastic jacket, the publication includes a complete facsimile of the rare and highly collectable original 1968 'The Field' exhibition publication and a new publication for 'The Field Revisited', which reflects on the importance of this exhibition over the past fifty years through new essays, colour documentation of the exhibited (and related) works and archival photographs of the 1968 exhibit. Designed by Stuart Geddes, with typography by Vincent Chan.

The National Gallery of Victoria’s inaugural exhibition at its new premises on St Kilda Road in 1968 was The Field, the first comprehensive display of colour field painting and abstract sculpture in Australia. Regarded as a landmark exhibition in Australian art history, The Field was a radical presentation of 74 works by 40 artists who practised hard-edge, geometric, colour and flat abstraction, many of which were influenced by American stylistic tendencies of the time. With its silver foil–covered walls and geometric light fittings, The Field opened to much controversy and helped launch the careers of a generation of Australian artists, including Sydney Ball, Peter Booth, Janet Dawson and Robert Jacks. Eighteen of the exhibiting artists were under the age of thirty, with Robert Hunter the youngest at twenty-one years of age.

The Field Revisited recreated The Field exhibition for its fifty-year anniversary. By reassembling as many of the original 74 paintings and sculptures as possible, this restaging re-examined the exhibition’s impact and significance for Australian art history and allow a new generation to experience it for themselves. Because some works included in The Field are known to have been destroyed, the NGV has commissioned a number of artists, including Normana Wight and Col Jordan, to recreate their original works for The Field Revisited.

Artists : Sydney Ball, Peter Booth, Janet Dawson, Robert Jacks, James Doolin, David Aspden, Tony Bishop, Ian Burn, Gunter Christmann, Tony Coleing, Noel Dunn, Garry Foulkes, Dale Hickey, Michael Johnson, Col Jordan, Michael Kitching, Alun Leach-Jones, Nigel Lendon, Tony McGillick, Clement Meadmore, Michael Nicholson, Harald Noritis, Alan Oldfield, Wendy Paramor, Paul Partos, John Peart, Emanuel Raft, Melvyn Ramsden, R.C.

Out-of-print first edition hardcover Isa Genzken retrospective catalogue published by MoMA in 2013. Text by Sabine Breitwieser, Laura Hoptman, Michael Darling, Jeffrey Grove, Lisa Lee.

"Isa Genzken (b. 1948) is arguably one of the most important and influential female artists of the past 30 years, yet the breadth of her achievement—which spans sculptures, paintings, photographs, collages, drawings, artist’s books, films, installations and public works—is still largely unknown in the United States. Published in conjunction with the first comprehensive retrospective of the artist’s epically diverse body of work, this publication encompasses Genzken’s work in all media over the past 40 years and is the most complete monograph on the artist available in English. Genzken has been part of the artistic discourse since she began exhibiting in the mid-1970s, but over the last decade a new generation of artists has been inspired by her radical inventiveness. The past ten years have been particularly productive for Genzken, who has created several bodies of work that have redefined assemblage for a new era. The catalogue presents Genzken’s career, through essays exploring the unfolding of her practice from 1973 until today, as well as an expansive plate section that provides a chronological overview of all her most important bodies of work and key exhibitions."

Born in Germany in 1948, Isa Genzken is one of Germany’s most important living artists. In the mid-1970s, as a student at Düsseldorf’s renowned Kunstakademie, she created geometric wood sculptures, which gained her early international acclaim (she exhibited these works at Documenta 7 and the Venice Biennale in 1982). Since then, she has made sculptures in plaster, concrete and epoxy resin. Ranging in size from maquettes to monumental, these abstract works are influenced by Minimalism, but are decidedly narrative. Paintings that examine ideas of surface and light, as well as photographs, collages, artist’s books and films, followed in the 1990s. From the late 90s on, Genzken began to create increasingly complex sculptural installations.

Good—VG copy with some light wear to extremities and corner bumping to overhung boards, not affecting content.

Founded in the early 1980s in Zurich, with an office also in New York City, Parkett was international art magazine that aimed to foster an open dialogue between the artistic communities of Europe and America, with the goal to actively and directly collaborate with important international artists whose oeuvre was explored in several essays by leading writers and critics in both German and English. By 2017, Parkett had published 100 volumes with some 180 monographs and over 1500 in-depth texts making it one of the most comprehensive libraries on contemporary art worldwide. Critics, curators, art historians, and other commentators join in the conversation contained within its pages. Many write on the collaborating artists; some write opinions under a variety of topic headings that recur issue to issue; others write on additional artists and ideas. The result is more of a curated event-between-covers than a typical art magazine with reviews and news items.

Average—Good copy with some marking and wear. Ex-sticker resudue to cover.
