Hard cover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: No dustjacket. Inscribed "To Antonia My Very Best Wishes Richard Weisman 9-22-2003". Richard Weisman was a high profile businessman, philanthropist, and art collector. Weisman's prescient eye allowed him to assemble a remarkable collection of masterworks that depict some of the 20th century's most important Pop icons and iconography. For Weisman, art represented an opportunity to explore the vast scope of human creativity, free from all constraints. Weisman began a lifetime of collecting with the purchase of his first piece of art: Roberto Matta's 1955 oil on canvas Early Urge. In the years that followed, Weisman steadily assembled not only an exceptional grouping of masterworks, but also a remarkable circle of friends. Weisman became renowned for entertaining athletes, actors, and artists at his homes with gatherings that welcomed a coterie of creatives from Peter Beard, Roy Lichtenstein, and Barnett Newman to Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Signed by Significant Other.

Sklar, Vice President Creative Development, WED Enterprises, November 20, 1981; and Dedication. Profusely illustrated with both black-and-white and color photographs.

Also includes an August 14 -20, 2000 Epcot GUIDEMAP. "Early in 1964, Walt Disney gathered a small group at WED (an acronym of Walter Elias Disney) Enterprises and began to visualize early concepts for Walt Disney World, including Epcot: Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. During the development of. Epcot Center, many media people, including Walter Cronkite. visited WED. When, in July 1975, Walt Disney Productions announced it was moving forward with plans for Epcot, to some it was a bolt of lightning to match the darting streaks that dance across the midsummer Florida landscape. The area had changed dramatically since 1967, when Walt Disney's film about Epcot was first shown to the State of Florida. No longer was the 27,400-acre Walt Disney World site - twice the size of Manhattan Island - virgin land with literally no amenities on its forty-three square miles. There was now the whole Walt Disney World infrastructure that had been built in the intervening years: forty-three miles of winding drainage canals equipped with innovative flood control gates to maintain the flow and level of water; nine acres of underground corridors called "utilitdors," a "city beneath a kingdom" that serves as an urban basement, providing vital operations and services, sewers, pipes, calbes, worlships, garbage disposal - that keep the community aboveground running smoothly; revolutionary technical innovations such as the modular construction of hotel rooms, which are built on the ground and hoisted into place by crane; America's first all-electronic telephone system; the introduction in the United States of the Sedish AVAC trash disposal system, in which trash is funneled underground in pneumatic tubes to a central collection point; and many more forward-looking systems that will move urban technology into the twenty-first century. What was lacking was a public focus for new ideas and concepts, a "center" for the communication of new possibilities for the future - directly to the public. To answer this need, we are developing Epcot Center: a permanent world's fair of imagination, discovery, education, and exploration that combines the Disney entertainment and communications skills with the knowledge and predictions for the future. Our goal is to inspire the visitors who come here. The pages that follow will describe in detail how each of the pavilions in Future World and in World Showcase evolved. As you read, and as you visit Epcot Center, remember that at our opening in October 1982 we are just getting started - there's much more to come! - Martin A. Sklar, VP Creative Development WED Enterprises, November 20, 1981" - excerpt from the Introduction.

Condizione: Good. Large 4tp. 30 x 30.5cm.Original pictorial boards. Signed presentation copy, possibly to Kim Tschang-Yeul (1925-2021).OCLC Number 1299311405.Published to accompany Damien Hirst's exhibition of butterfly paintings at Gagosian Gallery, Los Angeles in February 2007, Superstition is a visually stunning book that confirms Hirst's reputation as one of the most significant visual thinkers of his generation. Using High Windows, the last published volume of poems by Philip Larkin, as a point of reference to focus on the business of death and love, the baroque and lavish fractals of Hirst's paintings have a direct and clear poetry of their own, making Superstition a grand and tender body of work: Larkin would probably have seen straight away the point of Hirst's butterflies, these most evanescent of nature's creatures, trapped here in their thousands under glass, their bright day done yet glowing still in death. .Superstition includes over 30 exquisite full colour plates of the butterfly paintings, as well as reproductions of details and installation shots, providing a curatorial insight into this magnificent body of paintings. In addition to the wonderfully rich plates Superstition reproduces 6 of Philip Larkin's poems, a commentary by Richard Bradford, and an erudite introduction by John Banville: Death informs our every aspiration, our every hope, and stands at the end of every turn we take, the iron gate that will open just for us. As someone has said of the novel, having a happy ending depends on where you stop.
