AVALANCHE 1970-1976 (FACSIMILE REPRINT OF THE THIRTEEN COMPLETE ISSUES)

New York, Primary Information., 2010, First Edition Thus. (ISBN: 0-9788697-4-5) Loose Contents in a Box, Oblong Folio, np (1016pp), profusely illustrated in b&w. "Willoughby Sharp and Liza Bear founded "Avalanche" shortly after they met in 1968. At the time, Sharp was a New York-based independent curator and Bear an underground magazine editor who had recently moved to New York from London. They published the first issue in 1970 and collaborated on thirteen issues from 1970 to 1976. "Avalanche" focused on art from the perspective of artists rather than critics, and investigated new forms of art that were developing in the US and Europe with probing interviews, extensive use of photography and dynamic layouts. For many artists, publication in "Avalanche" preceded a one-person gallery or museum show. Aside from an eight page news section, the editorial content included only interviews, artists' texts and documents of art and art making. All interviews were conducted by Sharp, Bear or done jointly. Among the featured artists were Vito Acconci, Joseph Beuys, Hanne Darboven, Walter De Maria, Jan Dibbets, Philip Glass, Barry Le Va, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Gordon Matta-Clark, Bruce Nauman, Dennis Oppenheim, Yvonne Rainer, Keith Sonnier, Richard Serra, Robert Smithson, William Wegman, Lawrence Weiner and Jackie Winsor. This boxed facsimile edition of the complete run of "Avalanche" was published by Primary Information in 2010, and reproduces the first eight issues individually along with the final five tabloid-format numbers in a slightly smaller format, single newsprint paperback. A pristine example of this quickly out of print, extraordinary undertaking still shrinkwrapped in the publisher's printed cardboard box, as issued.. As New/No Jackets - As Issued.

SEMINA 7 (ALEPH / A GESTURE INVOLVING PHOTOGRAPHS, DRAWINGS & TEXT BY WALLACE BERMAN)

Larkspur, CA, Self-Published., 1961, First Edition 1/200. Chipboard Portfolio, 8vo, np, 18 individual inserts printed offset on cardstock or paper housed a printed paper pocket, 11 monochrome illustrations + front cover. This seventh installment of "Semina" - Wallace Berman's legendary, and legendarily scarce handmade literary and art periodical - is subtitled "Aleph". Published in Larkspur in 1961, unlike its predecessors that anthologized work from the movers and shakers of the West Coast Beat scene, this number is entirely devoted entirely to contributions by Berman himself. It is comprised of eighteen loose reproductions of photographs, drawings, and text - many of which combine these elements. A complete, internally handsome example of this exceedingly uncommon item limited to two hundred unnumbered copies. The eleven photographic reproductions on cardstock are bright and fresh, while several of the text pieces printed on matte paper show typical minor soiling, offsetting, and age-toning. The printed white pocket into which these are gathered is still securely affixed to the inside rear cover. Externally, the title pastedown on the front cover shows some mild rubbing and foxing, and the brittle, highly acidic chipboard covers have light overall wear, age-toning, and soiling. More notably, the covers have separated cleanly along the length of the spine, and there are two triangular chips of paper loss along the bottom edge - one on the rear at the heel of the spine, and a tiny one at the foredge front corner. Both detached fragments are present, and we have decided to let the next owner deal with their preferences for any paper restoration. All in all, this is a most presentable copy of a truly remarkable Wallace Berman item that looks far nicer in hand than it describes that has been priced accordingly.. Good.
