New York Antiquarian Book Fair. Part 1:

Photo Albums.

This year marks the 52nd anniversary of the New York

Antiquarian Book Fair. The first American antiquarian

book fair, that would evolve into the New York

Antiquarian Book Fair, was held in New York in

1960. This year’s fair was sponsored by the Antiquarian

Booksellers’ Association of America (ABAA) and

the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers

(ILAB) and took place at the Park Avenue Armory in

New York City on April 12-15, 2012. The show

featured a record number of exhibitors – 212 dealers

from 15 countries.

My initial interest in going to the Book Fair was to view

old photobooks. But, I found myself looking at many

different kind of books: photography memorabilia,

diaries, albums, zines, artists books, and more. To differentiate I will divide my viewings into three

categories:

1. Photo albums of old photographs.

2. Photobooks/Picture books.

3. Artists’ books and unusual books with photography or without and other special items.

Part 1: Photo Albums

Old photographs, and antique photo albums in particular, are attractive objects for many

collectors. Being interested in the photobook form, I find old photo albums incredibly interesting to

http://photographyincommon.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/img_3658.jpg



look at. As a collection of photographs on one single subject, an old photo album can tell a story of

a place or people in a very unique way. Types of photographs, paper and covers used for an album

depend on the region and time the album was made. Albums either can be one of a kind objects or

exist in a very limited number of copies. I find that old albums communicate with a viewer on a

personal level, with a certain feeling of intimacy. Here are some lovely photo albums I viewed at

the New York Antiquarian Book Fair.

Caucasus Photo Album, 1870. Album of the views of the Georgian Military Road contains 20

mounted photographs by the Rudnevy Brothers’ Photography in Vladikavkaz. The seller describes

it as a very rare album as no copies found in Worldcat nor in Russian National and Russian State

Railway from Mombassa to Port florence on the Kavirondo Gulf with manuscript notes.

György Lörinczy. New York, New York - Budapest Magyar Helikon, 1972. Book of New York

photographs by Hungarian photographer György Lörinczy taken in 1968. ‘As a foreigner’s vision,

and in terms of photographic outlook, Lörinczy’s perspective clearly has affinities with that of

William Klein, but his manic exuberance seems to run on pure energy, without the psychological

tensions that underpin Klein’s more realistic and informed vision of the city. It seems unlikely that

Lörinczy saw the work of any of the Japanese photographers of the day, but his book has a similar

‘anything goes’ feeling, akin to the totally spontaneous style of someone like Daido Moriyama, who

coincidentally, was photographing in New York around the same time. Lörinczy’s style is rough,

raw and uninhibited, in the best stream-of-consciousness manner’ – Parr & Badger, The

Photobook. Priced $2750 @Eric Chaim Kline. See video presentation of the book.

Sunset Blvd., between Hollywood (Crescent Heights Blvd) and Beverly Hills (Doheny Drive).

Ruscha captured the images by mounting a motorized 35mm camera on his truck and driving up

seen in this elaborate accordion fold-out with continuos photographs on both sides of Sunset Strip

Chaim Kline.

New York Antiquarian Book Fair. Part 3: Artists’

Books and Special Items.

James Lee Byars – J* Read to Peachy Keen Forme …, 1972 . A beautiful example of a James Lee

Byars’ unique original letter art object. Byars’ text, written in his usual stream of consciousness,

abbreviated style, communicates several ideas in parallel and extends in a single line along the

centre of the sheets for nearly 3 metres. Consists of four conjoined sheets of thick gold metallic

paper. An important part of Byars’ oeuvre, influenced by his years living in Japan and the resulting

interest in Japanese paper, calligraphy and origami, was the letter as art work, the object and idea

in harmony, and the example presented here, to Byars’ friend Jim Butler, with calligraphic text on

gold paper with characteristic divagations and abbreviations, is delightfully representative. ‘Byars

did, however, maintain communication with many important people in the art world, by means of

an artistic correspondence that seems to have been his most consistent practise as an artist. Nearly

every day, before dawn, he would rise and begin writing his spectacular letters … They were an

extension of the Byars persona, even mirroring his costumes in their strict use of a few select

colours and shapes. They were simply mystifying, difficult to read, confusing in their syntax even

where legible; Byars was unknown because he was unknowable. One might delight in (or be

maddened by) the experience of unfolding a fifty foot long piece of pink tissue paper, only to find

the gold writing nearly indecipherable, and the message as much a poetic epigram as a personal

communication. One is meant to experience the letters as an aesthetic occasion … ‘. (Frieze

magazine, review of the exhibition ‘James Lee Byars: Letters from the World’s Most Famous

Unknown Artist’). @Sims Reed Rare Book Shop

Thomas Rose, Wilber H. “Chip” Schilling. Arthur & Barbara – Minneapolis: Indulgence Press,

2011. A portrait of art critic/philosopher Arthur Danto and artist Barbara Westman seen reflected

in the space of their New York City apartment on Riverside Drive. This book embodies their life

and work in symbolic forms of thoughtful play. Arthur & Barbara is a collection of simple objects,

images and games referring to both Duchamp’s La Boîte-en-Valise and to Fluxus Collections. The

box contains laser-etched glass with a plan view of the apartment. Beneath the glass, separated

spaces hold a DVD with images of Arthur, Barbara and their apartment, a hand-bound codex




exploring oral and written language, a glass block laser-etched with an illustration by Barbara

Westman, two chairs, handmade dice, and a spinner. A drawer holds a folio of letters written by

Sean Scully, Shirin Neshat and Barbara Westman, and an introduction by David Carrier. Priced

$2500 @Kelmscott Bookshop






Priscilla Juvelis Rare Books‘ booth stood out with a great amount of wonderfull artists’

books. Sarah Peter. Knockdowns That Stand Up – New York: 2011.The 13 original photographs

were printed on an Epson Stylus Photo R1900 as was the text. The text and photographs are Ms.

Peter’s autobiographical account to “tell the story of a wacky upbringing in suburban Connecticut

on the 1950′s and 60′s.” Priced $1800 @Priscilla Juvelis Rare Books





The Reed. Translated by Zahra Partovi. Etchings by Susan Weil – New York: Vincent FitzGerald

& Company, 1989. Illustrated by Susan Weil with 18 original hand-colored line etchings, mirrored

on verso in colored mezzotints by Shigemitsu Tsukaguchi. The text was hand printed by Dan

Keleher at Wild Carrot Letterpress in Diotima type by Gudrun Zapf-von Hesse with calligraphy by

Jerry Kelly and Zahra Partovi. The book reads front to back in English and back to front in Persian

in an accordion-style binding. Priced $3500 @Priscilla Juvelis Rare Books

Barry McCallion. Squalls – East Hampton, NY: 2011. This is a most ingenious construction with

the two rectos of each folio hand painted in brown and black india inks, cut to reveal the page

rectos below. When opened, the “SQUALL” has passed and the versos are the same “landscape” but

now painted in bright colors of red, green blue, orange yellow, pink, and purple. Again, when

viewed from the last page to first, the colorful versos are visible all the way through; giving the

reader / viewer a picture of a colorful road, storm free, cloud free and peaceful. The cut-outs are

intricate and the negative space created as much a part of the “picture” created on each page (and

the pages thereafter) as the elaborate colored design. There is no text, but Barry McCallion’s

message is clear. Priced $3500 @Priscilla Juvelis Rare Books




A Place to Be. Words and Images by Eugenie Torgerson. Niles, MI: 2010. Unique artist’s book, the

first of two in a series, comprising lidded outer box with inner, removable open box, visible through

small window, inner box with five accordion books with poems and digitally-printed photograph

and collaged photograph images, plus another interior box containing single accordion book tied

with leather casing containing digitally-printed photograph images with text from 1884 diary

entries made by John David Shortess, great-grandfather of the artist, as a young circuit preacher in

central Pennsylvania, all images and text except that of John Shortess by the artist / author,

Eugenie Torgerson, who has signed the piece on the bottom of the footed stand on which the large

outer box sits. She has also signed four of the five books contained in the first box. Priced $3860

@Priscilla Juvelis Rare Books

fold with boards covered in white book cloth with outline map of Africa in gold gilt, the book

housed in fabric case of black cloth with the same gold gilt map of Africa. The text is hand lettered

by the artist. The giraffes themselves are printed on interference-splattered frosted plastic. The

artist / author has used a Gocco printer for all, and has hand-touched all with Pigma pens, except

the landscape which was color copied. She explains in the artist’s statement that, “the book is based

on a fortunate mis-reading of Temple Grandin’s writing about friendships between giraffes, among




others, “Aeolian”. Aeolus is the god of winds so they must be the most delicately beautiful creatures

on the African plains. Re-reading the passage, I realized the word was “Angolan”, but by then it

was too late; the image had taken hold.” The resulting fantasy is this book. Priced $750 @Priscilla

Juvelis Rare Books

Sande Wascher-James. Just A Woman – Whidbey Island, WA: 2012. A series of double-sided

paper dolls, with the faces of the women on photo paper, and their costumes of Liberty Lawn

fabrics. The ‘chain’ of American women – portrayed in paper dolls with their postage stamps

pictured and with text elaborating their accomplishments dressed in Liberty Lawn fabrics is an

unusual book structure. Much like the accomplishments of these ground-breaking women, it defies

categorization but is to be admired. Priced $2500 @Priscilla Juvelis Rare Books




A wonderfull collection of miniature books was presented @Bromer Booksellers. A miniature book

is usually no bigger than three inches (76 millimeters) tall, and although some need magnification

to be viewed properly, most can be read with the naked eye. To view a full list of the miniature

books they have in stock, go here.

photographic postcards with captions, 45 x 28 cm., photographs by Boyer, Downey, Henri Manuel

$1600 @Maggs Bros









The de luxe Kinora with seven important early Lumière films, c.1900. The Kinora, a miniature or

‘flip-book’ viewer was mainly intended for home use. While the Lumière brothers were working on

developing their Cinematographe camera and projector of 1895, they were also developing the

Kinora as a parallel product for the home environment. The Lumière’s could not decide if cinema

would actually be popular enough to be profitable and created the Kinora as a subsidiary part of

their enterprise. As the Lumière brothers cinematographe became more successful they decided not

to concentrate their efforts on the Kinora and passed the production to Gaumont in Paris. As the

Lumière brothers cinematographe became more successful they decided not to concentrate their

efforts on the Kinora and passed the production to Gaumont in Paris. Together with the Kinora are

an important group of early Lumière films including a copy of the earliest film comedy Arroseur et

arrosé, II. The six other films are also from the earliest period of cinema: Reel 311 Danse
