	ARTSCHWAGER RICHARD, NOLAND CADY, SUGIMOTO HIROSHI Parkett 46 Parkett-Verlag, Switzerland, 1996. Card Covers. Near Fine [Better Than Very Go/No Jacket. The Parkett Series With Contemporary Artists. 207 large pages, size 10 inches tall by 8 inches, followed by 56 pages of advertisements. In English and German text. Profusely illustrated with black and white coloured photographs. Rigor of Form. Editorial : Six years ago Parkett published an issue featuring a collaboration with Richard Artschwager (No. 23, March 1990). At the time, rather than having essays commissioned on his work, the artist suggested asking authors from beyond the field of art to write on the subject of "Art and Reason." We have invited Richard Artschwager to do a second collaboration with us, wishing to pursue the reflection on his oeuvre and to see its topicality explored in the proximity of two younger, very different artists. All three artists-Richard Artschwager, Cady Noland, Hiroshi Sugimoto-display a conspicuously striking rigor of form, not as the familiar self-celebration of formalist provenance but rather as a pragmatic faith in the potential of form. While the rigor of the formalists unfolded through increased elision of the world, an opposite will is felt among these artists: Their extreme control of form feeds into the desire to involve as much of the world as possible. In the use of black and white, which plays a role in all three oeuvres, we recognize the method of abstraction, detachment, and reduction. Black and white may also signify crassness; morally it is the equivalent of good and evil. Comparison of the collaboration artists and their cultural embeddedness has been addressed by David Deitcher (page 18). The art of Erwin Wurm (page 6) and John Armleder's INSERT present the emergence of an entirely different, explicitly playful treatment of form, which is perhaps a distinctly European element. A third, radical means of mastering form strikes the eye in the work of Emma Kunz (1892-1963), whose drawing is reproduced on the spine of this and the next two volumes of Parkett. Patient observation of the movements that a pendulum circumscribed over a sheet of paper led to her breathtaking compositions. An essay in the next issue of Parkett will introduce this extraordinary artist in greater detail. Bice Curiger '.

	BRETTELL RICHARD AND LLOYD CHRISTOPHER Catalogue of Drawings By Camille Pissarro in the Ashmolean Musuem Oxford Oxford at the Clarendon Press, U.K. 1980. First Edition, Hard Cover, Illustrated by: Pissarro Camille. Fine [Better Than Very Good]/Near Fine [Better Than Very Go. PLEASE EMAIL FOR SHIPPING RATES. xii, 225 pages, size 10 inches tall by 7.75 inches, followed by 378 black and white plates. ' The collection of drawings by Camille Pissarro in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, is the largest in the world, and numbers nearly four hundred sheets. These, with the exception of three watercolours, were presented to the museum in 1950 by the widow of the artist's eldest son, Lucien. Yet the drawings are for the most part unpublished and have remained virtually unknown to scholars and public alike. The present catalogue provides detailed entries for each drawing and attempts to establish the development of Camille Pissarro's style as a draughtsman. Many of the sheets relate to finished works of art, and therefore reveal a considerable amount of new information about the artist's working methods. Several of the drawings in the collection are of spectacular quality, particularly the figure studies of the 1880s. All the drawings are reproduced. Pissarro is, undeservedly, the most underrated of the leading Impressionist painters, despite the fact that his paintings and drawings, as well as the theoretical attitudes expressed in his letters to his son Lucien, were of the utmost importance for Impressionism. Thus, the introduction discusses various aspects of style and subject-matter, as well as making some preliminary observations on the role of drawing in general. The particular strength of this large group of drawings by Pissarro in Oxford is the fact that there are sheets dating from every decade of his working life. Rarely is there the opportunity of studying the evolution of an artist's style in such a comprehensive way. This catalogue is being published to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the birth of Camille Pissarro. Richard Brettell is Lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin, and Christopher Lloyd is Assistant Keeper in the Department of Western Art at the Ashmolean Museum '.

	BROTHER CHOLERIC Last Cracks in Legendary Cloisters Sheed & Ward, U.K. 1960. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. Unpaginated, size 8.75 inches tall by 5.5 inches. ' When Brother Choleric first got in amongst he reading public with Cracks in the Cloister, there was a gratifying diversity of response among critics. It was like dropping an experimental match into a box of fireworks: some spouted a golden rain of praise, some leapt into the air with crimson sputterings of indignation (and practically everbody, it seemed, bought the book anyhow). Brother Choleric, wild-eyed behind his beard, and snarling " What? All because of little me? " withdrew into his cell in a perfectly loathsome state of ostentatious humility, muttering things about St. Thomas More and St. Francis de Sales. His publisher hammered on the door, telling him that Mr. Evelyn Waugh had described him as the Max Beerbohm of the cloister, and that Mr. John Betjeman said his monks and nuns were much funnier than those of the New Yorker, whereupon a gnarled hand shot out immediately with a fresh batch, which were at once published with equal success as Further Cracks from Fabulous Cloisters. Conquering the world thus from his cloister reduced Brother Choleric to an appalling condition of sweetness and light; when last approached for more Cracks, he was making the Beethoven of the last quartets look like Genghis Khan. Severely shaken, we none the less managed to extract from him a collection of cartoons whichgive away most satisfactorily his persistent unregenerate self; and it is these that we here offer for your edification '.

	ARTSCHWAGER RICHARD, NOLAND CADY, SUGIMOTO HIROSHI Parkett 46 Parkett-Verlag, Switzerland, 1996. Card Covers. Near Fine [Better Than Very Go/No Jacket. The Parkett Series With Contemporary Artists. 207 large pages, size 10 inches tall by 8 inches, followed by 56 pages of advertisements. In English and German text. Profusely illustrated with black and white coloured photographs. Rigor of Form. Editorial : Six years ago Parkett published an issue featuring a collaboration with Richard Artschwager (No. 23, March 1990). At the time, rather than having essays commissioned on his work, the artist suggested asking authors from beyond the field of art to write on the subject of "Art and Reason." We have invited Richard Artschwager to do a second collaboration with us, wishing to pursue the reflection on his oeuvre and to see its topicality explored in the proximity of two younger, very different artists. All three artists-Richard Artschwager, Cady Noland, Hiroshi Sugimoto-display a conspicuously striking rigor of form, not as the familiar self-celebration of formalist provenance but rather as a pragmatic faith in the potential of form. While the rigor of the formalists unfolded through increased elision of the world, an opposite will is felt among these artists: Their extreme control of form feeds into the desire to involve as much of the world as possible. In the use of black and white, which plays a role in all three oeuvres, we recognize the method of abstraction, detachment, and reduction. Black and white may also signify crassness; morally it is the equivalent of good and evil. Comparison of the collaboration artists and their cultural embeddedness has been addressed by David Deitcher (page 18). The art of Erwin Wurm (page 6) and John Armleder's INSERT present the emergence of an entirely different, explicitly playful treatment of form, which is perhaps a distinctly European element. A third, radical means of mastering form strikes the eye in the work of Emma Kunz (1892-1963), whose drawing is reproduced on the spine of this and the next two volumes of Parkett. Patient observation of the movements that a pendulum circumscribed over a sheet of paper led to her breathtaking compositions. An essay in the next issue of Parkett will introduce this extraordinary artist in greater detail. Bice Curiger '.

	BRETTELL RICHARD AND LLOYD CHRISTOPHER Catalogue of Drawings By Camille Pissarro in the Ashmolean Musuem Oxford Oxford at the Clarendon Press, U.K. 1980. First Edition, Hard Cover, Illustrated by: Pissarro Camille. Fine [Better Than Very Good]/Near Fine [Better Than Very Go. PLEASE EMAIL FOR SHIPPING RATES. xii, 225 pages, size 10 inches tall by 7.75 inches, followed by 378 black and white plates. ' The collection of drawings by Camille Pissarro in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, is the largest in the world, and numbers nearly four hundred sheets. These, with the exception of three watercolours, were presented to the museum in 1950 by the widow of the artist's eldest son, Lucien. Yet the drawings are for the most part unpublished and have remained virtually unknown to scholars and public alike. The present catalogue provides detailed entries for each drawing and attempts to establish the development of Camille Pissarro's style as a draughtsman. Many of the sheets relate to finished works of art, and therefore reveal a considerable amount of new information about the artist's working methods. Several of the drawings in the collection are of spectacular quality, particularly the figure studies of the 1880s. All the drawings are reproduced. Pissarro is, undeservedly, the most underrated of the leading Impressionist painters, despite the fact that his paintings and drawings, as well as the theoretical attitudes expressed in his letters to his son Lucien, were of the utmost importance for Impressionism. Thus, the introduction discusses various aspects of style and subject-matter, as well as making some preliminary observations on the role of drawing in general. The particular strength of this large group of drawings by Pissarro in Oxford is the fact that there are sheets dating from every decade of his working life. Rarely is there the opportunity of studying the evolution of an artist's style in such a comprehensive way. This catalogue is being published to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the birth of Camille Pissarro. Richard Brettell is Lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin, and Christopher Lloyd is Assistant Keeper in the Department of Western Art at the Ashmolean Museum '.

	BROTHER CHOLERIC Last Cracks in Legendary Cloisters Sheed & Ward, U.K. 1960. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. Unpaginated, size 8.75 inches tall by 5.5 inches. ' When Brother Choleric first got in amongst he reading public with Cracks in the Cloister, there was a gratifying diversity of response among critics. It was like dropping an experimental match into a box of fireworks: some spouted a golden rain of praise, some leapt into the air with crimson sputterings of indignation (and practically everbody, it seemed, bought the book anyhow). Brother Choleric, wild-eyed behind his beard, and snarling " What? All because of little me? " withdrew into his cell in a perfectly loathsome state of ostentatious humility, muttering things about St. Thomas More and St. Francis de Sales. His publisher hammered on the door, telling him that Mr. Evelyn Waugh had described him as the Max Beerbohm of the cloister, and that Mr. John Betjeman said his monks and nuns were much funnier than those of the New Yorker, whereupon a gnarled hand shot out immediately with a fresh batch, which were at once published with equal success as Further Cracks from Fabulous Cloisters. Conquering the world thus from his cloister reduced Brother Choleric to an appalling condition of sweetness and light; when last approached for more Cracks, he was making the Beethoven of the last quartets look like Genghis Khan. Severely shaken, we none the less managed to extract from him a collection of cartoons whichgive away most satisfactorily his persistent unregenerate self; and it is these that we here offer for your edification '. Book - in Near Fine [better than Very Good] orange boards with silver lettering - just a touch bumped to the extreme top of the spine and faint surface marking, only in certain lights, to the bottom edge of the front board.
