CONRAD, Joseph (1857-1924). Youth, London, 1902, 8vo, original cloth gilt (spine darkened and spotted). FIRST EDITION of this collection of three stories which includes "Heart of Darkness", arguably the author's best-known work.CONRAD, Joseph (1857-1924).  Youth: A Narrative and Two Other Stories. Edinburgh and London: William Blackwood and Sons, 1902. 8vo (190 x 125mm). Half title with publisher's advertisement on the verso, 32-pages of publisher's advertisements at the end dated "10/02" (two very faint spots at the lower margin of the title, small stain at the edge of the contents leaf, some light staining to the stitching at a few gutters, most pronounced to pages 168 and 169). Original pale green cloth lettered and decorated in darker green, the spine lettered in gilt (spine darkened with some light spotting, extremities very lightly rubbed). Provenance: The Property of a Collector; Beatrice H. Maclaurin (etched bookplate designed by Sir David Young Cameron R.A.). FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, of this collection of three stories which includes "Heart of Darkness", arguably the author's best-known and most influential work, and certainly the one which has most captured the public imagination. It includes the line "Mistah Kurtz - he dead" which T. S. Eliot chose as the epigraph to "The Hollow Men", and the story provided the inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film "Apocalypse Now" which transferred the setting from the 19th-century Congo Free State to the Vietnam War. "Three stories including 'Heart of Darkness' from which Eliot took the epigraph ... for his 'Hollow Men'. This account of a superman running an ivory business in the heart of the Congo for a greedy sanctimonious Belgian company and brutalising himself and the natives in the process, is a masterpiece of sinister deterioration seen by a narrator who is himself profoundly altered by it" (Connolly). Cagle A7a; Connolly The Modern Movement 14; Ehrsam p.326; Keating 38; Modern Library Top 100 67 (citing "Heart of Darkness"): "... one of the most searing and relevant books of the twentieth century"; Wise 10: "Regarding this volume Mr. Conrad has furnished the following notes:- '"Youth" and "Heart of Darkness" are the first short stories of mine which attracted  attention to my work in a wider sphere. Most critics dismissed "The End of the Tether" either with contempt or with a few cursory remarks. The first and second stories are autobiographical, the idea emerging from the narrative. The third story was suggested to me by the fate of a man I knew'."

The sides and back are plain. Catalogue notes:Macau became a major training and departure point for Catholic missionaries to different countries in Asia, and crosses such as this example would have served in the teaching of the Bible.The cross crucifix most probably came from Macao. After the arrival of the Portuguese in the sixteenth century, Macau became a diocese of the Catholic Church. The Diocese of Macau was given a wide jurisdiction over various ecclesiastical territories in the Far East, such as China, Japan, Vietnam, and Malaysia.A related, Chinese, mother-of-pearl inlaid crucifix dating to the 17th-18th century was sold at Christie's Auction "European Courts Encounter Japan" on May 11, 2015, lot 14.

(Counter Culture, Black Power, Activism.) A collection of radical and alternative/underground periodicals and magazines from the late 1960's/early 1970's, including 5 issues of the fortnightly Black community newspaper 'Hustler', comprising issues 14 August 1968, 31 August 1968, 14 November 1968, 17 January 1969 & 8 March 1969, each 8 lithographed pages (46 x 29cm), illustrations from photographs, content includes rare coverage of the racism suffered by immigrants to the UK written by people who would become significant figures in the British Black Power movement. First published in May 1968, it was initially edited by Courtney Tulloch from the Mangrove restaurant in Notting Hill. Frank Crichlow’s Mangrove effectively operated as a Black community centre and became the de facto office of the Notting Hill Carnival and it was also at the centre of a ground-breaking trial. Covers a mixture of news such as community housing issues, racist violence, police raids, and articles and reviews broadening the reader’s understanding of the worldwide Black Power movement within the historical perspective of the struggle against racism. Rare; together with 'The Black Dwarf', 25 assorted issues 1968-1970 of the fortnightly radical left/anarchist broadsheet. It was conceived by the literary agent Clive Goodwin, who owned the name; the poet Christopher Logue who came up with the name; Tariq Ali, already a leader of VSC; designer Robin Fior; and poet Adrian Mitchell, among others. While clearly guided by a revolutionary Marxist perspective, Black Dwarf was driven by the spirit of the times. The May 1968 events in France, and their parallels in the USA, Italy, Germany, and Japan, taught the potential for students to destabilise the advanced capitalist countries, just as Cuba and Vietnam were demonstrating the possibility of peasants to fight (and win) in colonised ones; plus 12 assorted issues of the counterculture newspaper 'International Times' 1969/70; plus 8 assorted issues of 'The Red Mole', 1970, a "revolutionary internationalist" paper carrying a broad range of left-wing opinion edited by Tariq Ali and others, formed after 'The Black Dwarf's' editorial board split over questions of Leninism; plus 7 assorted issues of the newspaper 'Irish Democrat' July 1969 to January 1970, much content Irish Troubles; plus 2 issues of 'Marxism Today' 1975 & 1979, 'International Free Press Present a Cosmic Paper', Nov. 1st 1969, and 'Miner', Jan/Feb 1974

VOSTELL, WOLF1932 Leverkusen - 1998 BerlinTitel: B 52 Lippenstiftbomber. Datierung: 1969. Technik: Mischtechnik (Serigrafie und 16 Lippenstifte) auf Karton, in Objektrahmen. Maße: Rahmenmaß: 90 x 120 x 5cm. Bezeichnung: Signiert unten links: VOSTELL. Nummeriert und datiert unten rechts: 5/XX/69. Exemplar: 5/XX. Sockel/Rahmen: Im Rahmen beschrieben. Aus einer Auflage von 20 geplanten Exemplaren, bei der unbekannt ist wie viele Exemplare tatsächlich produziert wurden. Es handelt sich um eine bei Vomm nicht aufgeführte zweite Auflage auf Karton, nachdem sich die erste von 1968 wegen zu dünnen Papiers unter dem Gewicht der aufgeklebten Lippenstifte verzogen hat.

Bereits 1966 publizierte der Künstler in der New Yorker "Something Else Press" ein Manifest, worin er vorschlug, Konsumartikel wie Lippenstifte statt Bomben über Vietnam abzuwerfen. Hierauf nahm er mit dieser Objektgrafik Bezug. Im Laufe der Jahrzehnte leicht verblasste, ursprünglich blutrote Lippenstifte verlassen den Bauch des todbringen Bombers, der als Silhouette zu erkennen ist. Durch die Bombardierungen im Ukrainekrieg hat diese Arbeit, die vor mehr als einem halben Jahrhundert entstanden ist, eine lange Zeit nicht für möglich gehaltene Aktualität zurückgewonnen.Die Objektgrafik existiert in mehreren Varianten. Auf einigen Graphiken fliegt der Bomber von links nach rechts, in einer anderen Version seitenverkehrt gedruckt von rechts nach links. Die Anzahl und die Abstände der Lippenstifte variieren. Da die erste Auflage 1968 auf einem dünnen Papier gedruckt wurde, verzog dieses sich zum Teil unter der Last der Lippenstifte. In einer zweiten Auflage 1969 wurde ein deutlich dickeres Papier mit leicht veränderten Maßen verwendet. Ob die sowohl 1968 als auch 1969 mit 20 Exemplaren angesetzte Auflagenhöhe wirklich produziert wurde, ist zweifelhaft. Abgesehen von material- und altersbedingten Ausfällen ist deshalb nur von einer geringen Stückzahl heute noch existierender Exemplare des "B52 Lippenstiftbombers" auszugehen.Erläuterungen zum Katalog Wolf Vostell Deutschland Fluxus Kapitalistischer Realismus Neuer Realismus Zeitgenössische Kunst Objekte 1960er Krieg Objekt Mischtechnik Voraussichtliche Versandkosten für dieses Los:Absprache nach der Auktion.
