paul robertson — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 16:15:42 +0000

NYC: Avalanche Magazine, 1974
42 x 29cm, 32pp (self cover) Tabloid later number of the conceptual art museum founded by Willoughby Sharp. This number is dedicated to Video and Performance art with articles / contributions by Vito Acconci, Robert Bell, Joseph Beuys, Ulrike Rosenbach, Dennis Oppenheim, Keith Sonnier, Richard Serra, Chris Burden, Willoughby Sharp and William Wegman. The paper is as always a little browned and some wear and tear to the edges and spine (which has small tears but is intact) however this is better condition than usually found. The later numbers of Avalanche are much harder to find than the earlier ones.

New York, Praeger, 1969

23 x 21cm, 238pp plus 8pp of original pictorial card wrappers.

The cover is different from the first edition published in Milan but otherwise the book is essentially the same publication - a very good example of this title which is harder to find than the first edition.
