Roeg, Nicolas (director); David Bowie (starring)
        The Man Who Fell to Earth (Original subway style poster for the 1976 film)
      New York: Cinema I and Cinema II, 1976. Original subway style poster for the premiere of the 1976 film. The style of the poster follows that of the one sheet, but with different dimensions for subway display. Bowie would appropriate the same iconic image for his 1977 album, "Low."One of the most important science fiction films of the 1970s. In his review for the New York Times, Richard Eder wrote: "When science fiction writing enlisted such authors as Ray Bradbury, the emphasis on space machines, time warps and little green men gave way to more philososhical and emotional approaches. It was man or Martian, not as physical but as metaphysical travelers. Space was filled with loss and melancholy as well as gadgets." Nicholas Roeg abandoned none of his avant-garde leanings for the film, but instead brought an experimental, impressionistic style to a larger audience by way of David Bowie, who lent his other-worldly persona to a literally other-worldly character.29.5 x 43 inches, rolled, on archival linen. Near Fine.

[La Mama ETC] Ellen Stewart
        La Mama ETC Poster Archive, 1975-1976
      New York: La Mama ETC., 1976. Archive of four posters from productions hosted by La Mama Experimental Theatre Club, including "Fragments of a Trilogy" (Andrei Serban & Elizabeth Swados, 1975), "A Rat's Mass" (Adrienne Kennedy & Cecil Taylor, 1976), "Anaïs" (Tom O'Horgan, 1976), and "Quarry" (Meredith Monk, 1976).Founded in 1961 by African-American "Off-Off Broadway" pioneer Ellen Stewart, La Mama ETC became home for the underfunded and the underrepresented, giving theatre innovators, such as Sam Shepard, Philip Glass, and Tom O'Horgan, a space to develop their art. Stewart offered her space to numerous artists at different stages in their career, and La Mama ETC became the epicenter of creative culture from widely varied backgrounds. Represented are performances by legends and unknowns working together while promoted by Stewart and her company during the furiously productive 1975 and 1976 seasons. "Fragments of a Trilogy" paired Romanian immigrant Andrei Serban with composer Elizabeth Swados. Black Art Movement member Adrienne Kennedy's drama "A Rat's Mass" was staged by jazz musician Cecil Taylor. Composer Meredith Monk utilized the La Mama Annex space for her opera "Quarry." After productions of "Hair" and "Jesus Christ Superstar," Tom O'Horgan returned to the La Mama stage for "Anaïs: A Dance of Words Based on the Diaries of Anaïs Nin" conceived with Judson Dance Theater performer Victor Lipari.14 x 22 inches to 22 x 32 inches, Very Good to Near Fine and rolled except "Quarry," which is folded with toned edges, minor soiling, and a small repaired tear at the verso.

[Punk]
        Fantabulous New York Rock Party, Manhattan Center in New York, May 30, 1976
      New York: Wayne County Defense Fund, 1976. Original poster advertising "The Fantabulous New York Rock Party" at the Manhattan Center in New York, May 30, 1976. An ironic moment in New York punk and art scene history, some of the earliest evidence that the movement created to mock celebrity status was beginning to see itself in terms of celebrity. Also interesting here is evidence of early sub-divisions of punk mainstays (e.g., Dee Dee Ramone of the Ramones, Jerry Nolan, Walter Lure, and Johnny Thunders of the New York Dolls), the presence of by-then-established Factory luminaries of the late 1960s (Holly Woodlawn), professional groupies (Sable Starr), and trans-gender representatives (Divine and the cast of "Women Behind Bars," Wayne County and the Back Street Boys). Mention is also made of door prizes consisting of memorabilia signed by a number of punk antecedents, including David Bowie, Aerosmith, and Kiss.A benefit organized to benefit the Wayne County's Defense Fund, and we're not talking about Wayne County, Michigan, but an inter-punk legal situation. At a performance in March 1976 at a Wayne County performance at CBGBs, "Handsome Dick" Manatoba of the Dictators was throwing homophobic taunts at trans-gender punkster Wayne County and County responded in kind by hitting Manitoba with a mike stand and breaking his collar bone. The case was eventually thrown out of court, and the rift between the New York punk scene and the Dictators became a chasm.17.5 x 22 inches, rolled. Near Fine, with some creasing to the top corners and edges, and a single short closed tear.

        Fellini's Casanova (Original oversize double weight photograph from the 1976 film)
      Rome: Produzioni Europee Associati (PEA), 1976. Vintage oversize double weight photograph of Donald Sutherland and Cicely Browne getting it on in high style in the 1976 film.Cattarinich did still photography work for many interesting and prominent directors in the 1970s and 1980s, including Pedro Almodovar, Joe D'Amato, Marco Ferreri, and Pier Paolo Pasolini, among others.Producer Dino De Laurentiis saw Robert Redford in the role of Casanova but Fellini refused to cast him. When De Laurentiis bowed out of the project and Fellini signed a new contract with producer Alberto Grimaldi, Sutherland was cast in the role, requiring that he shave his head and wear both prosthetic nose and chin.Fellini had to re-shoot parts of this movie, including the elaborate Venice carnival scene, when approximately seventy reels of film-including the first three weeks of shooting-were stolen at the Technicolor labs of Tiburtino, Rome, on August 27, 1975. Also stolen were portions of Pasolini's "Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom" and Damiano Damiani's spaghetti Western, "A Genius, Two Partners, and a Dupe."11.5 x 7.75 inches. Fine.

        Das wachsende Gedicht. Einundzwanzig Gedichte von Erwin Jaeckle mit neun Originalholzschnitten von Oskar Dalvit.
      Zürich, Arcade-Presse, 1976 4°, 43 S., 9 farb. Orig.-Holzschnitte, OHPgt. m. gold. Rückenpräg. in Schmuckschuber., Tadellos. (= Arcade-Presse. 14. Druck). Handschriftlich nummeriert. Ex. Nr. 97/160 Ex. Von E. Jaeckle im Impressum signiert. Die Holzschnitte auf Japan-Papier «Ginwashi». Oskar Dalvit (1911 - 1975). Maler. Grafiker und Buchillustrator. 1953-1965 Lehrer an der Volkshochschule. Tätig in Zürich und Amden. Nach einer Ausbildung zum Schriftenmaler und Grafiker bei Orell Füssli in Zürich entschloss sich Oskar Dalvit 1936 für die freischaffende Tätigkeit als Maler. Über die Vermittlung von Maria Marc (Witwe von Franz Marc) lernte er den Kunsthändler Karl Nierendorf kennen. der sein Werk 1947 unter Vertrag nahm. Eine Ausstellung in New York war bereits in Vorbereitung. als der Kunsthändler an einem Herzversagen starb. Dank der Vermittlung Nierendorfs öffneten sich Dalvit in den 50er Jahren viele Galerien und Museen. 1951 vertrat er die Schweiz an der Bienal de São Paulo. Brasilien. Durch die Freundschaft mit dem deutschen Maler Fritz Winter wurde er mit der Gruppe Zen 49 bekannt. deren Mitglieder wie Dalvit in der Münchner Galerie Otto Stangl ausstellten. Ab den 40er Jahren arbeitete er während der Sommermonate auch in Amden. wo bereits Otto Meyer-Amden - Dalvits wichtigstes Vorbild - entscheidende Schaffensjahre verbracht hatte. 1975 starb Dalvit unerwartet an einem Herzversagen. Werkwürdigung: Nach einem gezeichneten Frühwerk. in dem er Einflüsse Hans von Marées` und Otto Meyer-Amdens verarbeitet hatte. stellte sich Dalvit mit diesen Ölgemälden. die in starken. pastos aufgetragenen Farben gehalten sind. als Expressionist vor. Ernst Ludwig Kirchners in der Schweiz entstandenes Werk diente ihm als Anregung. Über die Beschäftigung mit Paul Klee und Wassily Kandinsky fand Dalvit dann in den 40er Jahren zu einer ungegenständlichen Gestaltungsweise. Der Weg zur Abstraktion bedeutete für ihn einen Prozess der Verinnerlichung. Die Qualität der Werke sollte ähnlich wie bei den Vertretern der lyrischen Abstraktion Jean Bazaine oder Alfred Manessier in ihrer «Gestimmtheit». ihrem atmosphärischen Wert liegen und damit gleichsam ein Äquivalent zur Musik bilden. So sehr Dalvit seine Bilder aus der Farbe konstituierte. so sehr spielte auch das grafische Moment in seinem Werk eine Rolle. In den 50er Jahren wurden seine druckgrafischen Blätter bekannt. ja geradezu populär. Sie haben Dalvits Namen mehr geschadet als genützt. lenkten sie doch in ihrer oft etwas gefälligen Wirkung vom tiefen Gehalt anderer Werke ab. in denen Dalvit versuchte. philosophische. soziale und religiöse Momente ins sinnlich Wahrnehmbare zu übersetzen.

[REID, Jamie]: [Sex Pistols]
        [Original Handbill Advertising the Sex Pistols at the 100 Club, Oxford Street, London, May 11, 18 & 25, 1976]
      (London): np, [1976]. First Edition. Very Good. A4 handbill. Stencil-cut mimeograph printed recto only. Very good with some flattened creases and a small bit of loss to upper right corner. Mild soil here and there. Artwork by Jamie Reid, featuring an image of a kneeling Rotten/Lydon shouting into a mic. Beginning in 1976, The Sex Pistols took up Tuesday night residency at the 100 Club (a venue better known until then for jazz), gigs that would be pivotal for the band. As Jon Savage has written in his definitive ENGLAND'S DREAMING: "In the intimate setting of the 100 Club, the group could relax enough to take risks with their material and their performances. There they began to master their equipment, using the acoustics of the small club to experiment with overload, feedback and distortion. Electric amplification had provided much of the excitement of early Rock'n'Roll: pushing their equipment to the limit [...] the Sex Pistols twisted their limited repertoire into a noise as futuristic as their rhetoric" (177). It was also at these May 1976 100 Club dates that (accord- ing to SEX PISTOLS DAY BY DAY) Sid Vicious invented pogo-ing. The Tuesday night engagements advertised here included supporting bands Krakatoa (11th), Strange Days (18th), and Dogwatch (25th). While Reid's more commercial work for the Pistols appears with some regularity, early and ephemeral promotional items like this are decidedly more scarce.

Trump, Donald
        TYPED LETTER Signed
      New York, New York, U.S.A. 1976 - TYPED LETTER personally signed "Donald Trump" in green ink. This is a two page letter on Trump Organization letterhead and is dated 30 July 1976. The letter measures 8.5" X 11.0" and has normal mailing folds and filing holes at page tops, otherwise it is in fine condition. This letter discusses work that the Trump Organization is performing on the 60th Street Railyard in Manhattan in 1976. New York City is surrounded by water - which makes it difficult for rail freight to get around the city. Although there are three sets of rail tunnels between New York City and New Jersey, they are used exclusively for passenger service and the nearest freight crossing of the Hudson is 140 miles north in Albany. During the heyday of rail transportation in the early 20th century, railroads got around this problem by transporting rail cars on ferries between the various port and industrial facilities around the five boroughs and New Jersey. One such transfer facility was the 60th Street Rail Yard on the Hudson River between West 72nd and 59th streets in Manhattan.With the rise of long-distance trucking after World War II and the move of most port activity to new containerized facilities in New Jersey, activity at rail transportation facilities in New York City began to decline. Accordingly, the 60th Street Rail Yard was abandoned in 1976 when Conrail was created from the remnants of the country's failed rail companies. In the late 90's Donald Trump overcame considerable community opposition to begin developing the barren 60th Street Rail Yard (the last large area of undeveloped real estate in Manhattan) into the Riverside South housing development. Part of the agreement with the city involved creation of a park along the Hudson river. In 2001, sections of the park with a bike path opened to the public and there have been progressive improvements to the park since. [Attributes: Signed Copy]

Ballard, J.G.
        LOW-FLYING AIRCRAFT (Pristine Signed Copy)
      Jonathan Cape, UK 1976 - Collection of nine superb short stories including the title story and "The Ultimate City" and "The Dead Astronaut". Back when Ballard's EMPIRE OF THE SUN was nominated for the Booker Award - was the favourite, in fact - most pundits saw the book's victory as a foregone conclusion. To this day people refer to "Empire" as the Booker winner. Sadly, it didn't win when, arguably, it should have won. Perhaps it isn't so surprising, after all, as the panels for most of these awards are composed of corpses, compost heaps, poseurs and the occasional automaton. C'est la vie. This is a pristine, unread copy boasting immaculate green boards, a spine as tight and perfect as as a lush during a glorious weekend of drunken stupor, clean, crisp and untouched pages so white that village idiots around the world run shrieking from their celestial purity, and a dustjacket whose perfection assaults those who view it boldy with taunts like "I'm fit, I'm fit, Josef Stalin was a git".
