Milan, Italy: SKIRA Ginevbra-Milano, 2007. First Edition. First Printing.. Softcover. Fine/No Dust Jacket, As Issued.. Milan, Italy: SKIRA Ginevbra-Milano, 2007. Softcover. Fine/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. 95 pages. Exhibition Catalog. One of the best celebrity-portrait collections of our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. There is no ISBN. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and Marcello Francone: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial softcovers, which feature a portrait of Woody Allen on the cover, and white titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. Text by Gianni Mercurio. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Milan, Italy to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Museo Carlo Bilotti Rome from October 17, 2007 through January 13, 2008. Presents Timothy Greenfield-Sanders' "Movie Stars". A veritable feast. Here are Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, Matthew Broderick, Matt Dillon, Anne Hathaway, Ethan Hawke, Alfred Hitchcock, Nicole Kidman, Jodie Foster, Julianne Moore, Guy Pearce, Vanessa Redgrave, Steven Spielberg, and Orson Welles, among many others, in some of their most soulful sittings ever, in "pictures of people who are looking at us". Every single portrait is "full-frontal", with the subject looking straight into the camera, shyly and confidently, casually and seriously, a compelling, undeniable presence, which surely helps explain why they are stars in the first place. The photographs are composed with a simplicity, rigor, and austerity that remind one of the work of Peter Hujar, except that it's all in color. There is none of the knowing "inside" joke or sly comment one finds in most "post-modern" portraiture. An absolute "must-have" title for Timothy Greenfield-Sanders collectors. <b><i> This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed and inscribed in black pen-marker on the title page by the photographer: "For Betsy, You are (followed by an arrow pointing to the printed title) a movie star! Timothy Greenfield-Sanders". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, who is named and flattered, is personally known to the photographer. This title is a contemporary photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. A rare signed copy thus. </b></i> 50 plates.

Caroline Bouvier Kennedy (born November 27, 1957) is an American author, attorney, and diplomat who served as the United States Ambassador to Japan from 2013 to 2017. She is a member of the Kennedy family and the only surviving child of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Kennedy graduated from Radcliffe College and worked at Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she met her future husband, exhibit designer Edwin Schlossberg. She later earned a J.D. degree from Columbia Law School. Most of Kennedy's professional life has spanned law and politics, as well as education reform and charitable work. She has also acted as a spokesperson for her family's legacy and co-authored two books with Ellen Aldermanon on civil liberties. Just in time for the holidays: a collection of beloved Christmas stories and writings that every family will cherish. One of the many joys of Christmas comes from the traditions associated with it. Bestselling author Caroline Kennedy drew on her own family's traditions to create this charming collection of favorite stories, poems, and writings that celebrate the holiday spirit. In addition to excerpts and full texts of contemporary and classic writings, A Family Christmas features a letter Caroline Kennedy herself wrote to Santa Claus as well as a letter written to President Kennedy from a little girl concerned about Santa Claus. The introduction, written and read by Caroline, relates the importance of the holiday to her family, and shares how the literature in this collection is an essential part of her own tradition. This warm and personal collection will delight all who make it a part of their own family Christmas. "When I began assembling [this] collection, I was skeptical that I would learn anything new about Christmas, but reading and reflecting on the history and spirit of Christmas brought back many memories, and taught me a great deal. . . . The literature of Christmas ranges from the miraculous to the tragic, the profound to the ridiculous, but always represents the connection to something larger than ourselves." --Caroline Kennedy. In A Family Christmas, Caroline shares the Christmas poetry, prose, scriptural readings, and lyrics that are most dear to her, drawing on authors as diverse as Harper Lee, Nikki Giovanni, Martin Luther King Jr., Billy Collins, John and Yoko, and Charles Dickens. There are also many lesser-known gems throughout and personal treasures from her own family--including a young Caroline's Christmas list to Santa Claus and a letter from her father as President to a child concerned about Santa's well-being. This diverse and unique anthology will become a timeless keepsake, and will enrich your heart and mind with the spirit of Christmas. A Family Christmas includes selections from: Groucho Marx, Emma Lazarus, Mark Twain, Sandra Cisneros, Pearl S.

"After the fall of Sir Robert Walpole, Britain's first 'prime' minister, from political power in 1742, most of his celebrated collection of Old Master paintings was removed to his newly-built Palladian house in Norfolk, Houghton Hall. In 1779 this collection was sold by Sir Robert's grandson to the Empress Catherine II of Russia, which was seen as a scandalous loss to Britain. This book catalogues for the first time the entire collection in Russia as well as those works of art that remained at Houghton Hall. Accompanying the catalogue are essays on various aspects of the formation and sale of the collection." (dj) The main portion of the annotated and illustrated catalogue presents 274 pieces.

Long admired as a pinnacle of Blackman's achievement, our appreciation of this series has, however, long been hindered by its general inaccessibility. Until very recently only two works were in public collections." (quote from acknowledgements essay page 9 of the book). Paperback. Nr. Fine., National Gallery of Victoria, 2007, 5<

Bound in grey paper covered boards with titles present to the front board. No ownership marks present. Light foxing present. Boards lightly rubbed and worn. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid In the 1601 Mark Twain outdid himself in the Elizabethan field. It was written as a letter to that robust divine, Rev. Joseph Twichell, who had no special scruples concerning Shakespearian parlance and customs. Before it was mailed it was shown to David Gray, who was spending a Sunday at Elmira. Gray said: 'Print it and put your name to it, Mark. You have never done a greater piece of work than that'. John Hay, whom it also reached in due time, pronounced it a classic--a 'most exquisite bit of old English morality.' Hay surreptitiously permitted some proofs to be made of it, and it has been circulated privately, though sparingly, ever since. At one time a special font of antique type was made for it and one hundred copies were taken on hand-made paper . . . 1601 is a genuine classic, as classics of that sort go. It is better than the gross obscenities of Rabelais, and perhaps, in some day to come, the taste that justified Gargantua and the Decameron will give this literary refugee shelter and setting among the more conventional writings of Mark Twain. Human taste is a curious thing; delicacy is purely a matter of environment and point of view. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall ., 3, National Gallery of Victoria, 2006. Softcover. FINE!. AUSTRALIAN ARTSCARCE MINT COPY Catalogue of an exhibition held at the National Gallery of Victoria from 11th August to 15th October 2006. 142 p. : col. ill. ; 28 cm. #0921/300823With his 46 ""Alice in Wonderland"" paintings, Charles Blackman is being introduced to American audiences. In these surrealistic ""Alice"" images, Blackman, one of Australia's most significant artists, has blended iconic motifs from Carroll's fantastic journey into the imagination with the duality of his own life. The catalyst for the series had been Blackman's hearing a recording produced for the blind of Carroll's classic which he had never read. The story of Alice moving through a tableau of constantly frustrating situations paralleled his wife's worsening experiences as her eyesight progressively deteriorated. Blackman produced the pictures in 12 months. Artists paint in response to life experiences all the time, but Blackman's pictures are intimate in their depiction of Alice (his wife) and himself (as the rabbit), and they manage to be both poignantly personal and universal at the same time. The Australian public never lost their love affair for the series, and the pieces were gathered together from private Australian and overseas collections for a 50th anniversary show that became immensely popular at the National Gallery of Victoria during 2006. Thirty years ago a critic had written that these images were ""disposed with an astonishing intuitive guileless grace ... and deserved a prolonged analysis and a book devoted to them."" This book does that. It contains all the pictures in the series that were in the exhibition and has the additional fillip of quotations from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass placed on each page opposite the paintings.Blackman, Charles, 1928-2018 -- Exhibitions. | Alice (Fictitious character from Carroll) -- In art.Moore, Felicity St. John, 1933- | Carroll, Lewis, 1832-1898.
