1950-1969. Medium: Oil or Gouache A Vintage 1960s abstract painting on paper by American artist Rolph Scarlett (1889 - 1984) measuring approximately 2 1/2 x 2 3/8 inches. This gem was possibly for a jewelry design as he returned to that passion in the '60s. Thanks for looking. Rolph Scarlett was born 1889 in Guelph, Ontario. His long life as an artist began in his teens as a jewelry designer and fabricator. At the age of fourteen he began to design jewelry professionally, a craft which he continued off and on for the rest of his life. His desire to learn more about art took him to New York in 1908, when American artists were just beginning to experience strong influences from major modern European artists of the day such as Cezanne and Picasso. Throughout his long career he produced, oil paintings, many works on paper, unique sculptured jewelry, modernist style industrial and furniture designs. Currently there are over 800 of his designs at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Design Collection. In 1928 he moved to Hollywood, California where he became a very successful stage and set designer. In the mid-1930s he met the director of the Museum of Non-objective Art in New York ( Hilla Rebay). He became her close associate and advisor in organizing and running the museum. He was Chief lecturer at the museum (1939 -1946) teaching the new modernism and abstraction to the new generation of artists in the New York art community. Hilla Rebay would introduce him as ƒ??Rolph Scarlett, my great findƒ?. So considerable was her enthusiasm for Scarlett, that she and Solomon Guggenheim boug … [Click Below for Full Description]

São Paulo, Julio Pacello, 1969 (9 de avril), Rarissima edizione originale. Opera prima. Esemplare 48/100, ben completo con tutte le tavole numerate e firmate a mano dall’artista. Sporadico foxing marginale; il bifolio del poemóbile interessato da leggero offsetting (effetto involontariamente pregevole, che riflette e prolunga le parole in maniera evocativa). Privo della scatola originale in tela, conservato in scatola posteriore approntata su misura. L’opera prima di Julio Plaza (1938-2003), artista plastico madrileno ma brasiliano d’adozione, è tra i più stupefacenti libri d’artista prodotti dalle avanguardie del dopoguerra: curato in ogni minimo dettaglio, con perfetto equilibrio, lavorando sui colori primari di una pienezza quasi irreale, propone al ‘lettore’ un’esperienza visiva eccezionale. Tre le caratteristiche salienti dell’opera: i già citati colori primari (rosso, blu, giallo — contro il bianco della pagina); le forme geometriche; lo sviluppo tridimensionale di queste due cose, regolato dal movimento di apertura e chiusura della pagina. Il risultato coniuga arte concreta e pop-art, sublimandole entrambe in una dimensione nuova, estremamente peculiare, che costituisce il sigillo dell’artista. -- Il componimento di de Campos, Abre/Open, singole parole ribadite nei diversi colori, non è solo poesia visiva: è poesia tridimensionale, è «poemóbile», per usare il felice titolo dell’altra opera molto nota del duo, i Poemóbiles del 1974. Ma con Objetos, grazie alla dimensione monumentale delle tavole, l’arte di Plaza e de Campos esplode. rarità e censiimento istituzionale … [Click Below for Full Description]

Delacorte Press, New York, 1969. First Edition, First Printing of the author's masterpiece. Signed by Kurt Vonnegut directly on the half-title page. Loosely laid in is a cutout from the return mailer bearing Vonnegut's handwritten return address in NYC. Fine in a near fine dust jacket in archival protective cover. Arguably Vonnegut's most famous and influential novel. It was nominated for both the Nebula and the Hugo Awards, in science fiction. Nonetheless, as a loser, it still made both the Modern Library and the Time Magazine lists for the best English-language novels written in the 20th century. "Slaughterhouse-Five, perhaps Vonnegut's most powerful novel, presents two characters who can see beneath the surface to the tragic realities of human history but make no attempt to bring about change. The central event is the destruction of Dresden by bombs and fire storm--a catastrophe that Vonnegut himself witnessed as a prisoner of war". "Kurt Vonnegut knows all the tricks of the writing game. So he has not even tried to describe the bombing. Instead he has written around it in a highly imaginative, often funny, nearly psychedelic story. The story is sandwiched between an autobiographical introduction and epilogue" (The New York Times). [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy; In Dust Jacket]

Overall, a tight, clean copy. Perhaps Vonnegut's best-known novel, Slaughterhouse-Five tells the story of Billy Pilgrim's experience as an American soldier in Europe during World War II. The plot centers on the Allied bombing of Dresden, Germany, in 1945, an event Vonnegut experienced himself during the war. A combination of historic and science fiction, Slaughterhouse-Five also features the fictional planet Tralfamadore, where Pilgrim, a man who is "unstuck in time" and involuntarily traveling between time and space, is taken captive after his daughter's wedding. As the The New York Times wrote in its 1969 review, "It sounds crazy. It sounds like a fantastic last-ditch effort to make sense of a lunatic universe. But there is so much more to this book. It is very tough and very funny; it is sad and delightful; and it works.". [Attributes: First Edition; In Dust Jacket]

Delacorte Press, New York, 1969. First edition of Vonnegut's masterpiece. Octavo, original blue cloth. Boldly signed by Kurt Vonnegut, who has drawn a self-caricature on the half-title page. Fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Paul Bacon. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. "Slaughterhouse-Five, perhaps Vonnegut’s most powerful novel, presents two characters who can see beneath the surface to the tragic realities of human history but make no attempt to bring about change The central event is the destruction of Dresden by bombs and fire storm—a catastrophe that Vonnegut himself witnessed as a prisoner of war" (Vinson, 1414-15). "Kurt Vonnegut knows all the tricks of the writing game. So he has not even tried to describe the bombing. Instead he has written around it in a highly imaginative, often funny, nearly psychedelic story. The story is sandwiched between an autobiographical introduction and epilogue" (The New York Times). It is the basis for the 1972 film bearing the same name. The screenplay written by Stephen Geller and directed by George Roy Hill. It stars Michael Sacks, Ron Leibman, and Valerie Perrine, and features Eugene Roche, Sharon Gans, Holly Near, and Perry King. [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy; Hard Cover; In Dust Jacket]

Delacorte, New York, 1969. First edition / First printing. Signed on the haf-title page by the author. Blue cloth. 186 pages. Fine in fine dust jacket. A remarkably fresh and attractive copy, with just a hint of toning to the spine of this fragile dust jacket. The author's breakthrough masterpiece. After twenty years of struggling for critical and popular success, this book gave him the audience and recognition he had sought. The horrific firebombing of Dresden, which he witnessed as a POW, shocked Vonnegut into a lifelong distrust of the senseless and amoral violence of all war. A classic of counter-culture literature.

very good/ near fine. Mario Puzo (1969) 'The Godfather', US first edition, first printing, Published by Putnam. Signed and inscribed on the half-title page: "For Joe Collins 'an offer you can't refuse' Best wishes Mario Puzo". Inscription appears to be for Joe Collins, an agent for numerous stars and father of actress Joan Collins and writer Jackie Collins (who also wrote about mobsters). Puzo inscribed the book in blood red pen by quoting a famous threatening line from Don Corleone. It is possible that Collins made him indeed an offer to become his agent or similar. Condition: very good plus/ near fine with slight shelf wear. Dust jacket is price clipped, but unlike many first editions, the dust jacket does not make up over 50% of the price. At least until the 8th print the dust jackets look exactly the same as the first print (first state) dust jacket, so replacement wrappers can easily be obtained should the collector wish an unclipped specimen. Signed first editions are exceptionally scarce, most often they are offered by dealers with a signature on a book plate or as 'flat signed' copies with dubious provenance at best. We had the signature authenticated and registered for the peace of mind. The only comparable signed first edition copy on the market is currently offered by a competitor in the US for USD 20,000. 'The Godfather' is a landmark novel which popularised the mafia genre. The famous 1972 Francis Ford Coppola film adaptation won three Oscars (including for Puzo for best adapted screenplay). The 1974 sequel earned six more Academy Awards and Puzo won again for … [Click Below for Full Description]

1969. Edited by Patience Gray. With eleven engravings by Nicole [Fenosa]. One of 150 copies for sale of a total edition of 165, signed by the editor and artist. Unbound sheets in original chemise and slipcase. Paris, ?Printed at the expense of a friend, and obtainable from Lucien Scheler? A beautiful production. Davis, legendary bookseller and publisher of Norman Douglas, D.H. Lawrence and others, was as famous a host and chef as he was a bookman. The text (the ?impossibility? of the recipes is a reference to availability of ingredients) was assembled and finished after his death by his friend and fellow food writer Patience Gray, and the very fine engravings are by the wife of sculptor Apel-Les Fenosa, with whom he would often stay in Catalonia. It has recently been re-issued in a trade edition.Slipcase slightly worn, otherwise a fine copy. [Attributes: Signed Copy]
