NEAR FINE. . B&W Illustrations. Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall. viii, 125 pp ., The Cuneo Press / American Bar Association, 1961, 4, Van Nuys, California: J.E. Reynolds, Bookseller, 1961. Octavo. J.E.Reynolds tells of his meeting with Ross Santee in Tucson. A very delightful tale as he asks Santee's permission to devote a catalog to him and he received a seven-page typed letter. After his study in the Chicago Art Institute, he spent a year in New York with no money, happily selling a drawing for ten dollars which kept him in Durham and soda crackers. By 1915 he went to Arizona and worked as a cowboy on the Bar F cattle ranch near the San Carlos Indian Reservation (not far from Globe, Arizona). J. Frank Dobie recalls reading Santee's "Cowboy" which he felt like Andy Adams "The Log of a Cowboy", Jeff Dykes with Louis F. Merrill and Bill Allred's collecting his work as well as meetings with Santee and Dobie in Waller Creek, Texas. The first 103 items in the catalog are either by Ross Santee or about him. Those 103 items could have been purchased for less than $300 in 1961. Today, I would estimate the collection in the $5000+ range to a serious bookseller., J.E.

First Edition. Broadside. Near fine. Baer, Dorothy [Tyler]. [ca. 1962]. Broadside, approximately 6½ x 5½ inches. Printed in red on green paper. Embossed with seal of Uranian Press in lower margin. Signatures of Dorothea Baer and Richard O. Tyler over rubber stamps of their monograms on verso. Faint toning at bottom edge, else fine. Small Uranian press broadside of the ancient Christian symbol of the fish, in a decorative border, signed in the print by Dorothea Baer Tyler with her "d.b.t." monogram. The caption prints, "ICHTHUS," the Greek word for fish, as an acronym for the Greek words for "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour." No date is provided for the print, but circa 1962 is likely; that year, "ichthus" was also printed on the cover of the Uranian Press's 1962 portfolio, 9 GNOSTIC TRACTS (there, in Greek letters), in red on green paper. Dorothea Baer Tyler frequently alternated, as she does here between the initials in the print and those in her monogram on the verso, between using "Baer Tyler" and "Baer" alone.Dorothea Baer (1926-2012) cofounded the Uranian Press in 1958 with her husband, Richard Oviet Tyler (1926-1983) shortly after the two moved to New York City from Chicago, where both had attended the School of the Art Institute. By 1960, they had installed four printing presses in the basement of a Lower East Side tenement. Under the Uranian imprint, the Tyler and their friends produced chapbooks, broadsides, and artist's books through the mid-1960s. Later, they would produce photcopied flyers and zines as the Uranian Tract Society and Uranian Phalanstery. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Tyler was a fixture in Greenwich Village in the late 1950s and early 1960s, selling the Press's wares from a pushcart in the yard of Judson Memorial Church, a nod to both contemporary Jewish peddlers of the Lower East Side and the chapmen of Elizabethan England. He played an important, if still underappreciated, role in the nascent expanded arts movements of the New York avant garde scene with both the Press and its performance arm, the Uranian Alchemical Players. The Uranian circle expanded into a quasi-religious collective incorporating Jungian and Gnostic ideas of creativity and consciousness, LSD, Western astrology, alchemy, Tibetan Buddhism, and the political thought of Charles Fourier, becoming known officially in 1974 as the Uranian Phalanstery. After the death of Richard in 1983, Baer maintained the Phalanstery until her own death in 2012; it survives today under the care of her protégé, Mehdi Matin., Uranian Press, 1962, 4, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1933.

Cornelius Francis Kelleyâ¤s remarkable career with the Anaconda Copper Mining Company spanned more than 55 years. For 40 of those years, Con Kelley held top executive leadership positions, as President of the company from 1918 to 1940, as Chairman of the Board from 1940 to 1955, and as a member of the Executive Committee until the time of his death. During those years, Anaconda Copper ⤠renamed The Anaconda Company in 1955 ⤠expanded from its base in Butte, Montana, to become one of the worldâ¤s dominant mining companies. Founded in 1914 by David Zork (1875-1957), the David Zork Company of Chicago, Illinois, was a retail and manufacturing business which manufactured mahogany and walnut reproductions and adaptations of colonial and Empire furniture. Zork's line consisted of antique furniture and reproductions made specifically for his shop as well as imported decorative accessories. . When Zork opened a new store in 1921, he claimed in an interview in Furniture Journal that "I go to a great deal of expense and trouble to get exquisite little things used in the home ... to have what the other stores have not..." The company continued until Zork's death in 1957. This is a sales catalog, describing each piece in a paragraph of detail, from a free public exhibition and auction. Parke-Bernet Galleries was an American auction house, active from 1937 to 1964, when Sotheby's purchased it. The company was founded by a group of employees of the American Art Association, including Otto Bernet, Hiram H. Parke, Leslie A. Hyam, Lewis Marion and Mary Vandergrift. By 1964, the company was the largest auction house in America, with 115 employees and total sales of $11 million ($108 million in 2023). That year, Sotheby's purchased a controlling interest of 75% in the gallery for $1.5 million ($15 million in 2023). The company was founded in 1937, by a group of forty former employees of the American Art Association, including Otto Bernet, Hiram H. Parke, Leslie A. Hyam, Lewis Marion and Mary Vandergrift. In January 1938, the first auction was held in a gallery at 742 Fifth Avenue. The next year, the company took over the American Art Association-Anderson Galleries, consisting of the American Art Association and the Anderson Galleries (formerly Anderson Auction Company). Parke-Bernet oversaw the sale of the estate of Georges Lurcy, a prominent art collector, whose estate included works by Raoul Dufy, Alfred Sisley and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The collection sold for over 2 million pounds in 1957, a record. Other customers of the company included Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Paul Mellon and Henry Ford II. Ford's purchase of La Serre by Renoir through Parke-Bernet was a world record. Parke-Bernet also oversaw the sale of the Mrs. Jonathan Amory Haskell's extensive Americana collection and the estate of Hagop Kevorkian, the Armenian archaeologist, antiquities dealer, and philanthropist whose foundation gave major contributions to support the study of the Near East and Middle East at the University of Pennsylvania, New York University, and Columbia University., Parke-Bernet Galleries, Inc, 1958, 2.5, Washington D.C. and Princeton, NJ: Smithsonian American Art Museum in association with Princeton University Press, 2019.

Profusely illustrated. *** "By the late 1960s, the United States was in a pitched conflict in Vietnam, against a foreign enemy, and at home--between Americans for and against the war and the status quo. This powerful book showcases how American artists responded to the war, spanning the period from Lyndon B. Johnson's fateful decision to deploy US Marines to South Vietnam in 1965 to the fall of Saigon ten years later. Artists Respond brings together works by many of the most visionary and provocative artists of the period, including Asco, Chris Burden, Judy Chicago, Corita Kent, Leon Golub, David Hammons, Yoko Ono, and Nancy Spero. It explores how the moral urgency of the Vietnam War galvanized American artists in unprecedented ways, challenging them to reimagine the purpose and uses of art and compelling them to become politically engaged on other fronts, such as feminism and civil rights. The book presents an era in which artists struggled to synthesize the turbulent times and participated in a process of free and open questioning inherent to American civic life. Illustrated in color throughout, Artists Respond features a broad range of art, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, performance and body art, installation, documentary cinema and photography, and conceptualism" -- Publisher.. 1st.
