The nine individuals--eight artists and one art dealer--are now known as major contributors to Conceptual art. These fascinating dialogues, conducted by Patricia Norvell, provide tantalizing moments of spontaneous philosophizing and brilliant insights, as well as moments of unabashed self-importance, with highly imaginative and colorful individuals. / Alexander Alberro is Assistant Professor of Modern Art at the University of Florida. He is coeditor of Conceptual Art: A Critical Anthology (1999) and editor of Two-Way Mirror Power: Selected Writings by Dan Graham on His Art (1999).

	ALBRECHT, DONALD, AND SCHONFELD, ROBERT, AND SHAPIRO, LINDSAY STAMM Russel Wright: Creating American Lifestyle New York, Harry N. Abrams, Inc. Publishers; Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution. 2001, First Edition, First Printing. (ISBN: 0810932784) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Exhibition Catalogue, 176 pp. illus. (some col.), biblio. index; 27 cm. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution, New York, Nov. 20, 2001 to March 10, 2002. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Remainder mark/top edge. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Before there was Martha Stewart, there was Russel Wright (1904-1976), the great mid-century modern American designer who pioneered the concept of 'easier living' for the middle class, a uniquely American lifestyle that was gracious but contemporary and informal. Yet despite Wright's enormous influence, there has been no major survey of his work until now. This handsome volume - which accompanies an exhibition at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York City - showcases more than 125 of Wright's best designs for inexpensive, mass-produced dinnerware, textiles, and furniture. As the flurry of Wright auction activity on Ebay shows, there is a thriving collectors' market for his designs. This thorough interpretation of his achievement is eagerly anticipated. / Donald Albrecht is an architect, writer, and independent curator. Robert Schonfeld, an expert on Russel Wright, is a curatorial consultant specializing in American fine and decorative arts. Lindsay Stamm Shapiro is head of exhibitions at New York's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum." - Publisher. Very Good/Fine.

	ARBUS, DIANE Diane Arbus Millerton, NY, Aperture. 1972. (ISBN: 0912334401) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 15 pp. 80 plates; 29 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Spine rolled at the crown, light edgewear to tips. Dust jacket, with a small stain at the top right corner/front cover, protected in a mylar book cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by special arrangement. "When Diane Arbus died in 1971 at the age of forty-eight, she was already a significant influence--even something of a legend--among serious photographers, although only a relatively small number of her most important pictures were widely known at the time. The publication of Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph in 1972--along with the posthumous retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art--offered the general public its first encounter with the breadth and power of her achievements. The response was unprecedented. The monograph of eighty photographs was edited and designed by the painter Marvin Israel, Diane Arbus's friend and colleague, and by her daughter Doon Arbus. Their goal in making the book was to remain as faithful as possible to the standards by which Diane Arbus judged her own work and to the ways in which she hoped it would be seen. Universally acknowledged a classic, Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph is a timeless masterpiece with editions in five languages and remains the foundation of her international reputation. / Diane Arbus--born Diane Nemerov in New York City in 1923--married Allan Arbus at the age of eighteen. She started taking pictures in the early 1940's and studied photography with Berenice Abbott in the late 1940's and with Alexey Brodovitch in the mid 1950's. It was Lisette Model's photographic workshops, however, that inspired her, around 1957, to begin seriously pursuing the work for which she has come to be known. Her first published photographs appeared in Esquire in 1960. During the next decade, working for Esquire, Harper's Bazaar, and other major magazines, she published more than a hundred pictures, including portraits and photographic essays, many of which originated as personal projects, occasionally accompanied by her own writing. Diane Arbus: Magazine Work (1984) documents this aspect of her career and its relationship to her best-known imagery. In 1963 and 1966 she was awarded Guggenheim Fellowships for her project on 'American Rites, Manners, and Customs.' She traveled across the country, photographing the people, places, and events she described as 'the considerable ceremonies of our present These are our symptoms and our monuments,' she wrote. 'I want simply to save them, for what is ceremonious and curious and commonplace will be legendary.' A selected group of these photographs attracted a great deal of critical and popular attention when they were featured, along wit the work of two other photographers, in the Museum of Modern Art's 1967 exhibition 'New Documents.' The boldness of her subject matter and photographic approach were recognized as revolutionary. In the late 1960's, Arbus taught photography at Parsons School of Design, the Rhode Island School of Design, and Cooper Union, and continued to make photographs. Notable among her late works is a series of photographs she took at residences for the mentally retarded. Untitled (Aperture, 1995) is a collection of fifty-one of these photographs.. In 1970, Arbus made a portfolio of ten prints, which was intended to be the first in a series of limited editions of her work. She committed suicide in July of 1971." - Publisher.

These fascinating dialogues, conducted by Patricia Norvell, provide tantalizing moments of spontaneous philosophizing and brilliant insights, as well as moments of unabashed self-importance, with highly imaginative and colorful individuals. / Alexander Alberro is Assistant Professor of Modern Art at the University of Florida. He is coeditor of Conceptual Art: A Critical Anthology (1999) and editor of Two-Way Mirror Power: Selected Writings by Dan Graham on His Art (1999). Patricia Norvell is an artist living in New York City. Her work has appeared widely in public spaces and galleries across the United States. She has taught at Columbia University, Hunter College, and other institutions." - Publisher. Fine.

Exhibition Catalogue, 176 pp. illus. (some col.), biblio. index; 27 cm.

"Before there was Martha Stewart, there was Russel Wright (1904-1976), the great mid-century modern American designer who pioneered the concept of 'easier living' for the middle class, a uniquely American lifestyle that was gracious but contemporary and informal. Yet despite Wright's enormous influence, there has been no major survey of his work until now. This handsome volume - which accompanies an exhibition at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York City - showcases more than 125 of Wright's best designs for inexpensive, mass-produced dinnerware, textiles, and furniture. As the flurry of Wright auction activity on Ebay shows, there is a thriving collectors' market for his designs. This thorough interpretation of his achievement is eagerly anticipated. / Donald Albrecht is an architect, writer, and independent curator. Robert Schonfeld, an expert on Russel Wright, is a curatorial consultant specializing in American fine and decorative arts. Lindsay Stamm Shapiro is head of exhibitions at New York's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum." - Publisher. Very Good/Fine.

	ARBUS, DIANE Diane Arbus Millerton, NY, Aperture. 1972. (ISBN: 0912334401) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 15 pp. 80 plates; 29 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Spine rolled at the crown, light edgewear to tips. Dust jacket, with a small stain at the top right corner/front cover, protected in a mylar book cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by special arrangement. "When Diane Arbus died in 1971 at the age of forty-eight, she was already a significant influence--even something of a legend--among serious photographers, although only a relatively small number of her most important pictures were widely known at the time. The publication of Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph in 1972--along with the posthumous retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art--offered the general public its first encounter with the breadth and power of her achievements. The response was unprecedented. The monograph of eighty photographs was edited and designed by the painter Marvin Israel, Diane Arbus's friend and colleague, and by her daughter Doon Arbus. Their goal in making the book was to remain as faithful as possible to the standards by which Diane Arbus judged her own work and to the ways in which she hoped it would be seen. Universally acknowledged a classic, Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph is a timeless masterpiece with editions in five languages and remains the foundation of her international reputation. / Diane Arbus--born Diane Nemerov in New York City in 1923--married Allan Arbus at the age of eighteen. She started taking pictures in the early 1940's and studied photography with Berenice Abbott in the late 1940's and with Alexey Brodovitch in the mid 1950's. It was Lisette Model's photographic workshops, however, that inspired her, around 1957, to begin seriously pursuing the work for which she has come to be known. Her first published photographs appeared in Esquire in 1960. During the next decade, working for Esquire, Harper's Bazaar, and other major magazines, she published more than a hundred pictures, including portraits and photographic essays, many of which originated as personal projects, occasionally accompanied by her own writing. Diane Arbus: Magazine Work (1984) documents this aspect of her career and its relationship to her best-known imagery. In 1963 and 1966 she was awarded Guggenheim Fellowships for her project on 'American Rites, Manners, and Customs.' She traveled across the country, photographing the people, places, and events she described as 'the considerable ceremonies of our present These are our symptoms and our monuments,' she wrote. 'I want simply to save them, for what is ceremonious and curious and commonplace will be legendary.' A selected group of these photographs attracted a great deal of critical and popular attention when they were featured, along wit the work of two other photographers, in the Museum of Modern Art's 1967 exhibition 'New Documents.' The boldness of her subject matter and photographic approach were recognized as revolutionary. In the late 1960's, Arbus taught photography at Parsons School of Design, the Rhode Island School of Design, and Cooper Union, and continued to make photographs. Notable among her late works is a series of photographs she took at residences for the mentally retarded. Untitled (Aperture, 1995) is a collection of fifty-one of these photographs.. In 1970, Arbus made a portfolio of ten prints, which was intended to be the first in a series of limited editions of her work. She committed suicide in July of 1971." - Publisher.
