Jun Takahashi / Sex and Seditionaries
Phenomenally scarce inventory of Sex, Seditionaries, Let it Rock, Vivienne Westwood/Malcolm McClaren clothing. Page after page after page of original garments flat photographed, probably the only record of a lot of the garments. The publicity shy Takahashi of Undercover fame has probably the biggest collection of early Westwood, and this book documents all of it. Apparently McClaren flipped his wig and thought it had to be the collection of either Rei Kawakubo or Yoji Yamamoto, as they were the only two people he remembered buying one of everything in each colour. An underground legend.
Bruce Weber - Photographs of Athletes
Ultra scarce early work. Beautifully produced early catalogue of work printed in photogravure. A wonderful study of the human body, masculinity, men, women etc. and an excellent foreshadowing of his future work. Super.
Deborah Turbeville 1986 (with signed photograph)
So rare. Absolutely beautiful book from Turbeville. Very well produced by the Pompidou in 1986, features not only some of her better known work (bath house etc.) but alot of work unreproduced elsewhere. A wonderful object. Plus the beautiful signed and numbered photograph.
