Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 22 pages. Published in 1991. Exhibition Catalog. One of the most beautiful exhibition catalogs on the art of Lucas Samaras. The first and only edition. Published in small and limited print run as a softcover original only. There is no ISBN. The Exhibition Catalog is now rare. Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition held at Pace/MacGill Gallery New York City in 1991. Presents Lucas Samaras' new work following the immense controversy and success of his Whitney Museum of American Art splash. Samaras' focus is still himself, a vehement assertion, as Peter Schjeldahl notes in his Essay, that the only true subject (and the only reality) of the artist/photographer is oneself, whatever else he (or she) may be photographing. A painter and a sculptor before he turned full-time to photography, Samaras remains best-known for his Polaroid collages to this day: Elaborate, flamboyant, and daring self-portraits that are aggressively and uninhibitedly American despite their European roots. Samaras was not the first to create such a body of work. Pierre Molinier was. The difference is that Molinier did it for exclusively private reasons and kept his self-portraits hidden from view until the very end, when he killed himself. Samaras turned Molinier's private obsessions into a party, making auto-eroticism a central element of post-Modernist art (think of Robert Mapplethorpe and Cindy Sherman, to name only two very different descendants). "In his most profound achievement, he adopted one of photography's basic genres, portraiture, and used it as a basis for an inquiry into the self, which remains unmatched in its intensity and boundless in its ramifications. Samaras split himself into model, actor, director, audience, and critic. To each of these roles, he brought a skilled artist's hand and an eye deeply informed by the historical traditions and motifs of art. He became a rare figure in American art, not an artist who occasionally uses photography for tactical reasons, but an artist who made photography central to his aesthetic" (Ben Lifson). An absolute "must-have" title for Lucas Samaras collectors. This title is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. 16 color plates. "Samaras Album: Autointerview, Autobiography, Autopolaroid" was selected as one of the "Seminal Photography Books" in "The Book of 101 Books". One of the greatest artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER LUCAS SAMARAS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.…

A fine copy of the Art Institute of Chicago's Profile Magazine Volume 3, Issue Number 4 Bi-Monthly. The single most comprehensive and illuminating Interview given by the art critic in his lifetime. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. There is no ISBN. The Magazine Issue is now rare. The magazine is in a small-size volume format. Pictorial softcovers, with photographic portrait of Peter Schjeldahl on the cover, as issued. Interview conducted by the eminent art historian and scholar Robert Storr. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents "Peter Schjeldahl: The Profile Magazine Interview". The longest and most insightful Interview of the writer while he was the Art Critic of Vanity Fair Magazine, after having written for a variety of publications, principally The Village Voice, and before becoming the Art Critic of the New Yorker Magazine, a position he held until his untimely death. As such, it is an indispensable companion to the collections of art criticism he published. It is complacent to regard Peter Schjeldahl as the most adept art chronicler for our time (which he was). He was much more than this. More than any other art critic in recent memory, he patiently asked the same unanswerable, eternal questions: What is art? What is beauty? What does it mean to be an artist? What does the art we produce and admire tell us about ourselves? They are worth asking nonetheless as there are (far too) many theory-driven art critics actively writing drivel today. Alas, there was only one Peter Schjeldahl. Our most important art critic since Harold Rosenberg, Clement Greenberg, Robert Hughes, and Arthur C. Danto, for Schjeldahl, there was still such a thing as art in a world that only talks and cares about the art market, is fixated on identity politics, and yet is finally only interested in money. Schjeldahl was also a brilliant poet (of the New York School, which he also discusses at length in the Interview). Two long, celebrated poems, "The Artist", and "Dear Profession of Art Writing", are reproduced alongside the Interview. "The idea that there are only 'the great' is crazy to me. But there is such a thing as great. Irony isn't new. It is our modern condition" (Peter Schjeldahl). An absolute "must-have" title for Peter Schjeldahl collectors. This title is a great Issue. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. One of the greatest art critics of our time. A fine copy. no.…
