[52] pp.; 21 x 24 cm.; sewn bound; black-and-white; edition size unkown; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed Two volume exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with two-part show held March 14 ? May 18, 2014 and May 25 ? August 3. "Other Primary Structures revisited the premise of and built upon the Museum''s seminal 1…966 exhibition Primary Structures: Younger American and British Sculptors, the first American museum exhibition to survey the style now known as Minimalism. Primary Structures introduced the public to such artists as Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Walter De Maria, Robert Morris, and others--figures unknown at the time but soon to become synonymous with a radically new approach to sculpture. Nearly 50 years later, Other Primary Structures revisits this formative moment in art history while also reexamining the period from today''s far more global perspective. "Presented in two parts, the first part of the exhibition titled Others 1, examined work created between 1960 and 1967, while Others 2, on view from May 25 ? August 3, presented work created between 1967 and 1970, some of which was directly influenced by the 1966 Primary Structures exhibition at the Jewish Museum." -- publisher''s statement. This publication includes a faithful reprint of the original 1966 catalogue published in conjunction with show held April 27 - June 12, 1966. Essay by exhibition''s curator Kynaston McShine. Includes works by Carl Andre, David Annesley, Richard Artschwager, Larry Bell, Ronald Bladen, Michael Bolus, Anthony Caro, Tony DeLap, Walter de Maria, Tom Doyle, Dan Flavin, Peter Forakis, Paul Frazier, Judy Gerowitz, Daniel Gorski, David Gray, Robert Grosvenor, David Hall, Douglas Huebler, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Phillip King, Lyman Kipp, Gerald Laing, Sol LeWitt, John McCracken, Tina Matkovic, Robert Morris, Forrest Myers, Peter Phillips, Peter Pinchbeck, Salvatore Romano, Tim Scott, Anthony Smith, Robert Smithson, Michael Todd, Anne Truitt, William Tucker, Richard Van Buren, David von Schlegell, Isaac Witkin and Derrick Woodham.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st printing--full number line--so 1st edition. Introduction by Ian Frazier. 239pp. w/363 illustrations, including 203 in full color. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread/gently perUsed, in FINE condition. "In 1941, a young Romanian escaped wartime Italy, wh…ere he had recently completed a degree in architecture, and began submitting cartoons to a weekly Manhattan magazine. For the next six decades, Saul Steinberg's covers, cartoons, features, and illustrations would be a defining presence at The New Yorker. As the magazine became a standard-bearer of taste and intelligence in American letters, Steinberg's drawings emerged as its visual epitome, and the artist gained recognition as one of the great originals of his epoch. This illustrated volume opens with an introduction by the artist's friend and colleague Ian Frazier. Joel Smith's essay, the first to draw on unpublished material in Steinberg's papers, explores the remarkable range and unceasing evolution of a major American modernist--one whose art reached a grateful public not from museum walls but from the pages of the periodical he called 'my refuge, patria, and safety net.' [] All eighty-nine of Steinberg's New Yorker covers appear in full color, as do many drawings that were printed inside the magazine when art was reproduced there only in black-and-white. STEINBERG AT THE NEW YORKER assembles the artist's most beloved, intuitive, and brilliant inspirations. Wartime portfolios chronicle his tours of duty in China, India, North Africa, and Italy; in peacetime, the artist pays indelible visits to Hollywood, Moscow, Berlin, and Samarkand. He populates New York with stoical cats, precocious children, puzzled couples, and a menagerie of vivid grotesques. Thinkers grapple with demons of their own making; speakers speak past one another in the graphic dialects of street map and scribble. Words go on the warpath, numbers guard their secrets, and question marks and rubber-stamp men march in formation. A squad car's siren emits an ornate Art Deco fountain of sound, a grinning crocodile strolls with his flamingo wife on a moonlit Florida beach--and in the world viewed from 9th Avenue, Japan, China, and Russia are pale abstractions just over the horizon, somewhere beyond New Jersey. [] In the course of inventing each other, Steinberg and The New Yorker did much to invent postwar visual culture. A vibrant celebration of one of the most original and engaging artists of the twentieth century, STEINBERG AT THE NEW YORKER brings alive a genius, a magazine, and an era." [jacket copy] "Fortunately, the most famous New Yorker cartoonist, Saul Steinberg (1914-99), was so frequently published on the magazine's cover that exclusive admirers could be forgiven for seldom plucking an issue from the newsstand or plumbing its contents. Smith's generous selection from all of Steinberg's New Yorker work shows such connoisseurs what they missed: black-ink drawings, sparingly shaded, that are as droll as the carefully colored line works on the covers. Steinberg, who said he drew cartoons for readers, used captions only in his earliest New Yorker work; later, he compositionally integrated words. He expected his fanciers' knowledge of the world and people, particularly New Yorkers, to enable them to see the humor in his work. Besides providing an excellent appreciative essay, Smith groups the plates and figures thematically and reprises all the Steinberg covers in chronological order at the end of the book."--Ray Olson, Booklist. Near-pristine & quite hefty coffeetable Fine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & mostly tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket covered in archival mylar. Quite presentable. Oversize volume will likely require additional postage/insurance to get to you safely. FYI: see also my listing RUB2483 for the Bound Galley of Deirdre Bair's biography SAUL STEINBERG.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. xxv, [1], 291, [3] pages. Frontis illustrations. Illustrations. Index. Minor edge soiling. Compiled for The Society of Sponsors of the United States Navy. Foreword by Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Arleigh Burke. This is the fourth volume in this series. It contains the records of fewer vessels but…among them are several new types of ships. These are of the latest design with highly-developed electronic equipment and atomic propulsion. These new devices are being installed in the ships, listed in this volume, build during the so-called Atomic Age. Many of them are as different from the ships of World War Ii, listed in Volume Three, as those from the sailing ships of the Continental Navy. Accordingly, the Society of Sponsors includes in this volume certain types of ships hitherto considered as auxiliaries and noncombatant. In this nuclear-missile age, mobile forces are becoming more and more important. Nuclear power in our ships of the future will give our forces more mobility. Our forces at sea will be able to stay at sea longer and cruise faster without our former concern for fuel. By spreading our ships out we provide a defense in depth. The advent of new weapons is not a cause for concern about their adverse effects upon the future of the United States Navy--on the contrary, they are a source of ever-increasing strength to our forces afloat. The vast and sweeping technological changes were we are witnessing have resulted in changes and improvement in naval capabilities. Fiftieth Anniversary Edition, presumed First printing.
