166 pp.; 23.5 x 28 cm.; glue bound; black-and-white & color; edition size 500; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed "This book brings together new texts written to accompany 79 exhibitions organized by Bob Nickas between 1984 and 2011. Nickas chose one work to represent the memory of each exhibition, and through this visual "lens" he reflects on his activity as a curator, offering many behind-the-scenes views to the art world of the 1980s and 90s, as well as intimate recollections of the artists he worked with, and the art works he encountered over the years. The book, then, can be seen as a sort of memoir. Always placing the artists and their works within a social milieu, while also aware of how art travels across time, he reminds us that both lead multiple lives, as an exhibition can reanimate a work from the past, and occasion the discovery of forgotten and marginalized figures among those who are very well-known. This retrospective catalog is also in many ways an ideal exhibition -- or collection -- 27 years in the making." -- publisher''s statement.

Non-Book. Condizione: Good. No Dust Jacket. On offer is an original 1811 manuscript documenting the financial machinery of government in early Kentucky, and the involvement of some of the state's most prominent pioneers. At the center of the document is William Withers, an early settler of strategically situated West Point and Hardin County sheriff from 1811 to 1812, entrusted with collecting and remitting the county's public revenues to the Commonwealth. The document records the $10,000 state-revenue bond required of Withers upon becoming sheriff of Hardin County in 1811. Acknowledged in court on January 14, 1811, Withers and his seven sureties, all exceptionally prominent early settlers, jointly guaranteed that he or his deputy would properly collect, account for and remit every tax, interest payment and other sum owed to the Commonwealth during the year. Before professional bonding companies and centralized tax departments, Kentucky's county sheriffs personally collected the taxes and other public money owed to the Commonwealth. To protect the state against loss, a sheriff was required to enter into a substantial bond supported by financially responsible local sureties. The sureties form a remarkable cross-section of early Kentucky's frontier governing class. They include: Benjamin Helm, former sheriff and county clerk James Crutcher, Merchant, judge and legislator Samuel Stevenson, Legislator Christopher Miller and Adam Miller, brothers from a prominent pioneer family with Christopher a noted frontier scout who later served as magistrate, legislator and sheriffDaniel Waide, Elizabethtown innkeeper, postmaster, academy trustee and future state senator Christopher Bush, father of Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln [Note: At the date of the bond, Sarah was still married to Daniel Johnston; eight years later, she married Thomas Lincoln and became Abraham Lincoln's stepmother. ]Biographical sketches of the sureties plus William Withers himself can be found at the conclusion of the listing. The document captures state administrative processes and the personal stakes of accepting prominent roles and responsibility in early 19th century America. These men were not merely endorsing Withers's appointment but pledging their own estates to secure his handling of Kentucky's public money. An excerpt from the document reads: "We bind our selves our heirs Executors and administrators Jointly & Severally firmly by these presents. "The recto is a contemporary clerk's manuscript copy of the bond, including six of the subscription names and written indications " (Seal) , " rather than six individual autograph signatures. The verso, however, bears the names Christopher Miller and Daniel Waide. The hands seem different than that of the recto, so it is possible that the names on the verso are signatures of Miller and Waide, though this is unconfirmed. The docket reads: "William Withers.Shffs Bond Commonwealth1811 January Court ackd Copied." The docket records the bond's acknowledgment in the January 1811 court and its entry into the official county records. Rather than an isolated financial instrument, the manuscript preserves both the administrative process and the personal network through which public revenue was secured in frontier Kentucky. Biographical Notes of Men Named in the BondWilliam WithersWilliam Withers was Hardin County sheriff from 1811 through 1812 and was responsible for collecting and remitting the county's public revenues. He belonged to the early West Point settlement at the confluence of the Ohio and Salt rivers. By 1800, two of his daughters had married Robert Bleakley and William Montgomery, Irish-born merchants who opened an Elizabethtown dry-goods store. Withers was thus connected by family to the commercial community whose members helped guarantee his bond. Benjamin HelmBenjamin Helm was one of early Elizabethtown's principal administrators.[Listing truncated due to site's word limits, contact seller for remaining biographical sketches and any other questions].…
