| DUTOURD, JEAN Pluche or the Love of Art Doubleday. 1970. Hard Cover. Translated by Robin Chancellor.

| ENGELHORN, CHRISTOF Christof Engelhorn: Everyone Wants the Same Painting Self-published. 2007, First Edition in English; Limited. Boards. One of 500 copies in English, this is a curious book, ostensibly a written version of some remarks Engelhorn delivered at the Pinakothek of Modern Art in Munich in 2003 on the general subject of a Picasso exhibition there, but actually a ramble through paintings Engelhorn has collected or wishes he had, modern and not-so-modern, in an effort to explain how he knows what's "good" and should therefore be collected. Futile, perhaps, but very interesting. Fine in boards without jacket, probably as issued. Fine/Issued Without Jacket. USD 25.00 [Appr.: EURO 16.75 | £UK 15.25 | JP¥ 2150] Book number: 3330 Click here to order or inquire at Ruggles Books. | ||
| KOSUTH, JOSEPH ET AL. The Fox [journal] 1975 [1st issue] The Art and Language Foundation. 1975, First Edition. Paper. Periodical, The very first issue of this journal edited by Sarah Charlesworth, Joseph Kosuth, Michael Corris, Andrew Menard, Preston Heller, and Mel Ramsden with its stated purpose of trying "to establish some kind of community practice" and "the reevaluation of ideology" its editorial thrust. Art as or and politics, terribly earnest, hypercritical, and now, perhaps sadly, history. Articles by Kosuth ("The Artist as Anthropologist"), Mendard, Adrian Piper, and about art in Yugoslavia, pricing works of art, and other subjects not easily rendered here.
