A RASH ACT. 1975. SIGNED ARTIST’S PROOF.

paul robertson — Sat, 04 Jan 2020 21:48:41 +0000

New York/London: Petersburg Press, 1975
52 x 73cm. Original lithograph printed in colours on green wookey hole hand-made woven paper. Signed and numbered by the artist. A characteristically 'exacting' print-multiple by the artist. The erotic, although surprisingly not immediately apparent, pornographic image, of Kitaj's favourite model lounging in front of the artist while the latter is receiving oral pleasure from another woman, may indeed be the 'rash act' of the title. Kitaj wrote often of his affairs - this work has always suggested to us a guilty conscience being expunged with great relief. The quality of the printing is worth mentioning - even close up this lithograph looks like a pastel drawing. This is an artist's proof numbered from XII-XIV and signed by Kitaj. Fine estate. Ref: Prints of R.B. Kitaj, 1994. pg. 155.

OPTIMISTIC BOX NR 2. VIVE LA MARRIAGE. 1969.

paul robertson — Wed, 13 Apr 2022 21:09:02 +0000

Remscheid: Vice-Versand, 1969

9.7 x 12.2 x 3.5cm two part wooden box with two metal hinges and a metal clasp. The label on the front of the box reads: "VIVE LA MARRIAGE" and another label inside the top of the box continues "A TROIS" and there is a pornographic b/w original pornographic photograph of an erect man with two women. The label is signed by Filliou.

The Optimistic Boxes were originally Xmas gifts from the artist. The edition size is not known but it was not huge.

As ever the glue on the two labels is discoloured but else this is VG+. Scarce.

NYMPHES DE CARELIE. 1957.

Paris: La Pensee Moderne 1957
28 x 11.5cm, 222pp. Original wrappers. An example of Isou's talent for creating erotic novels for cash - here published under his real name. It is rumoured (perhaps encouraged by himself) that Isou was a professional gigolo when he first came to Paris - certainly one has to admire his youthful Elvis Presley-like handsome visage but perhaps this claim of sexual activity was no more than myth. Very good.

JE VOUS APPRENDRAI L’AMOUR / L’EROTOLOGIE MATHEMATIQUE ET INFINITESIMALE. 1957.

paul robertson — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 19:56:28 +0000

Paris: Losfeld/Le Terrain Vague, 1957
19.2 x 14.4cm, 502pp. Printed wrappers. First edition of Isou's theories on sex and love and his manifesto applying his dialectical methodology toÂ eroticism. This copy (as is often the case) is missing the mini poster which was meant to be glued to the inside back cover (but which was often simply laid in and frequently lost), the paper is browned and.many of the pages are displaying various degrees of foxing. Nonetheless scarce.
