Soft cover. Zustand: As New. Bert Stern (photographer), Herb Lubalin (art direction & typography) (illustrator). 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Condition as New, Near-square format, Original pictorial wrappers. Print run for early issues undocumented; fine copies with the serigraph pages clean and unfaded are increasingly scarce. Few single issues of any American periodical occupy as many collector categories simultaneously as Avant Garde No. 2. It is at once a milestone of graphic design history, a document of pop art publishing, and a technically distinctive printed object whose method of manufacture is inseparable from its meaning. The centerpiece is The Marilyn Monroe Trip, a 12-page portfolio of silkscreen serigraphs by photographer Bert Stern, derived from his legendary 1962 Vogue commission shot over three days at the Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles, just six weeks before Monroe's death . Over three days Stern exposed more than 2,500 frames. Six weeks later, Monroe was dead. When Vogue published its September 1962 issue, already on press at the moment of her death, the editors chose restrained black-and-white images. The more intimate, incandescent photographs, Monroe in diaphanous scarves, biting a diamond necklace, supremely alive, remained largely unpublished. For Stern, conventional photographic reproduction had never communicated the full radiance of what he had witnessed in that suite, Avant Garde gave him the means to try again. The serigraphs were produced by forcing pigment-laden ink through a fine mesh screen, one color, one pass yielding a density and tactile surface presence that offset printing cannot approach. Stern and Lubalin employed fluorescent Day-Glo inks: acid yellows, electric pinks, hallucinogenic greens that appear to generate their own illumination. In 1968 this was not a neutral aesthetic choice. Day-Glo was the visual language of psychedelia and the counterculture; to render Monroe, the supreme icon of 1950s American desire in the acid palette of 1968 was a deliberate act of cultural translation. These pages are, in the strictest sense, fine art multiples bound into a periodical. Against this incandescent interior, Lubalin's cover operates by deliberate restraint: uncoated kraft-type board, muted umber tones, no visual preparation for what lies inside. The effect, experienced physically, is one of the most considered reveals in periodical design history. The New York Times subsequently ranked the cover 16th in its list of the 25 Most Influential Magazine Covers of All Time. Typography throughout is set in Lubalin's bespoke geometric logotype , the interlocking letterforms released commercially as ITC Avant Garde Gothic in 1970 and now among the most recognizable typefaces in American design history. Seeing it here in its original context, as a proprietary identity system rather than a commercial font, is one of the particular pleasures this issue affords the serious collector. Avant Garde was the third and most enduring collaboration between publisher Ralph Ginzburg, already notorious for his obscenity conviction over Eros magazine and Herb Lubalin, widely regarded as the most influential American graphic designer of the postwar era. Typography throughout is set in Lubalins bespoke geometric logotype, the letterforms later released commercially as ITC Avant Garde Gothic in 1970. Additional contents include a short story by Roald Dahl (The Visitor) and an essay on Picasso. The cover image was subsequently ranked 16th in The New York Times' list of the 25 Most Influential Magazine Covers of All Time.

Ralph Ginzburg (October 28, 1929 July 6, 2006) was an American editor, publisher, journalist, and photographer. He was best known for publishing books and magazines on erotica and art and for his conviction in 1963 for violating federal obscenity laws. Ginzburg's most famous publication, Eros, a high-priced magazine of classy erotica, was launched in 1962, and only four issues were published before he was indicted on charges of violating federal obscenity laws and had to stop publishing the quarterly. He was found guilty by the Supreme Court eventually and sentenced to five years in prison. (He was released after eight months. This issue includes "A Letter from Allen Ginsberg", Was Shakespeare a Homosexual, The Long-After-Midnight Girl, A short, Short Story by Ray Bradbury!, Anti-Semitism, Memoirs of a Mail Chaperon by John Sack. This is one of the scarcist of his published works! Irwin Allen Ginsberg (June 3, 1926 April 5, 1997) was an American poet and writer. In the 1940s, he began friendships with William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, forming the core of the Beat Generation. Herbert F. Lubalin (March 17, 1918 May 24, 1981) was an American graphic designer. He collaborated with Ralph Ginzburg on three of Ginzburg's magazines: Eros, Fact, and Avant Garde. In Lubalin's private studio, he worked on a number of wide-ranging projects, from poster and magazine design to packaging and identity solutions. It was here that he became best known for his work on a series of magazines published by Ralph Ginzburg: Eros, Fact, and Avant Garde. Eros (four issues, Spring 1962 to 1963) devoted itself to the beauty of the rising sense of sexuality and experimentation, particularly in the burgeoning counterculture. It quickly folded after an obscenity case brought by the US Postal Service. Eros was an American quarterly political and literary magazine that published only four volumes in 1962. . It was a quality production with no advertising, and the large format (13 by 10 inches) made it look like a book rather than a quarterly magazine. It was printed on varying papers and the editorial design was some of the greatest that Lubalin ever did. The New York Times described Eros as a "stunningly designed hardcover 'magbook'," covering "a wide swath of sexuality in history, politics, art and literature." The magazine was the first product of Ralph Ginzburg and Herb Lubalin who later created two other influential magazines, namely Fact and Avant Garde. The first issue of the magazine appeared in Spring 1962. Ralph Ginzburg was the editor and Herb Lubalin was the art director of Eros which came out quarterly. The focus of the magazine was on love and sex during the dawning of the Sexual Revolution. It also covered articles on politics, arts and literature. The third (Autumn, 1962) of a total of 4 issues of the magazine published featured the photographs of Marilyn Monroe just before her death which caused an obscenity lawsuit against Ginzburg by then U.S. Attorney General, Robert Kennedy. The reason for the lawsuit was the claim that the magazine had violated federal anti-obscenity laws. Ginzburg was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison, but he remained in prison for eight months. Following this incident the magazine was closed down. Ray Douglas Bradbury (August 22, 1920 June 5, 2012) was an American author and screenwriter. One of the most celebrated 20th-century American writers, he worked in a variety of genres, including fantasy, science fiction, horror, mystery, and realistic fiction. Bradbury is best known for his novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) and his short-story collections The Martian Chronicles (1950), The Illustrated Man (1951), and The October Country (1955). Other notable works include the coming of age novel Dandelion Wine (1957), the dark fantasy Something Wicked This Way Comes (1962) and the fictionalized memoir Green Shadows, White Whale (1992). He also wrote and consulted on screenplays and television scripts, including Moby Dick and It Came from Outer Space. Many of his works were adapted into television and film productions as well as comic books. Bradbury also wrote poetry which has been published in several collections, such as They Have Not Seen the Stars (2001). The New York Times called Bradbury "An author whose fanciful imagination, poetic prose, and mature understanding of human character have won him an international reputation" and "the writer most responsible for bringing modern science fiction into the literary mainstream" Presumed First Edition, First printing this issue.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good- dj. Illustrated by (dj) [Samuel] Adler & [Herb] Lubalin (illustrator). First Edition. (price-clipped) [a good solid copy, with minor shelfwear and light soiling to bottom edges; the Adler & Lubalin-designed jacket is bright and attractive despite numerous tiny edge-nicks (although with only minimal paper loss)]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED in the upper left corner of the front endpaper: "9/12/40 / For Rose Wainess / Jerome Weidman." A chronicle of the author's trip around the world, undertaken from April to October of 1939 because he "wished to see the world before its face was completely changed. He set out just in time to see the last months of the great European democracies. He had no preconceived plan to write a travel book, but as he moved from country to country he felt it important to make notes of the undercurrents of impending excitement. [His book] is not a political survey, nor is it a Baedeker-like report of Things Seen and Places Visited. It is the travel book of a distinguished young American novelist who has a sense of humor and is aware of the little and great things that go on about him." He spent quite a bit of time in England (Plymouth and London, with a side trip to Edinburgh) and France (Paris, Marseilles, Juan-les-Pins) -- between one-third and one-half of the book -- before continuing across the Meditteranean to Egypt and points east (Arabia, India, Ceylon, Java, Australia, etc.), winding up at last in Honolulu. There is no indication that he even thought about going anywhere near Nazi Germany (or even Italy, for that matter) -- for a Jewish novelist, probably not a bad decision. Signed by Author.
