Description:
Glenview, IL: The Artist, 2006.. Double-sided variation on an accordion flag book (20.5 x 25 cm folded). Fine, in folding card case with artist's imprint and limitation statement. Copy #11 of 25 numbered copies, signed by Hanmer. Pigment inkjet prints on polyester film, with central printed card spines, which, when unfolded and extended, stands on its own as a whole. The work derives its inspiration from a passage in Cather's MY ANTONIA, which is printed on the tail piece in company with the formal limitation and Hanmer's signature: "Everywhere, as far as the eye could reach, there was nothing but rough, shaggy, red grass ... And there was so much motion in it; the whole country seemed, somehow, to be running." When unfolded, the imagery and potential kinetics of the piece replicate that impression. Hanmer is an award- winning binder and book artist whose works have been included in scores of exhibitions.

New York & Los Angeles: Merle Armitage, 1936 Illustrated with a lithograph by Pasquale Giovanni Napolitano, executed by Lynton R. Kistler, signed in pencil by Napolitano. Limited edition, this being number 65 of 112 numbered copies. Publisher's yellow cloth, title stamped in black and brown to upper cover. Very good overall, covers slightly bowed, light soiling to cloth, light wear to spine tips, residue from sticker on spine, light soiling to front endpapers, interior otherwise clean and bright including the lithograph, tissue guard still present, binding slightly shaken. Overall, a pleasing copy of a scarce book, with the signed lithograph in fine condition. These two essays by Picasso were first published separately in The New York Times in 1923 and 1930. They appear here with an additional statement by its publisher, Merle Armitage. Armitage started his career in the arts as a set designer in New York City and became a tour manager and theatre producer in Los Angeles. He authored over 100 books about artists and musicians, and was an art collector, befriending many artists including Picasso, Kandinsky, Klee, and Chagall. After meeting artist Pasquale Giovanni Napolitano, Armitage wrote a book about his Modernist style. Napolitano studied many different forms of art, including painting, ceramics, and architectural design, and he executed many architectural murals for the WPA. He illustrated several books written by Armitage, and through their collaboration, Napolitano became involved in set and costume design, notably working on The King and I.. Signed by Illustrator. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good.

Description:
Cairo, Egypt:: Islam Aly,, 2020.. Edition of 30 varianst + 5 AP. Closed: 3.5 x 3.5 x 2.75". Materials: Legal ledger paper from the late 1800s and 1900s, museum board, hand-printed Arabic letters from magnesium plates, laser-engraved wooden boards, book cloth, stiff-leaf binding with leather wrappings connected to laser engraved camel bone pieces. Signed, numbered, and dated by the artist Islam Aly: "Statera" explores the rhombic dot system behind the Thuluth script. An Arabic, elegant, cursive writing that is used on architectural monuments and manuscripts. In Arabic, this system is called "Mizan Al Horof" (balance of letters). "Statera" shows each letter's specific structure, which is built of a significant rule: the number of dots. The 28 letters are printed in Thuluth script with vibrant red color, over regular handwritten text by ordinary people. Different styles, signatures, seals, notes, and markings from legal ledger paper contrast with the Thuluth script…

As young artists, we dreamed of a world where there were no rules, but in this time of internal & external chaos, we wish there were more definitive answers. "During a particularly difficult year, we traded sketchbooks back and forth, completing each other's empty hands with objects that communicated our struggles and sought solutions.
