Text by Kunle Martins and Jesse Pearson. BOOK CONDITION: Fine/As New; a solid, tight, clean copy. NYC 200-2005 offers a time capsule, a snapshot of what he and his friends were getting into back then figuring their lives out, meeting people, making memories and now, reminiscing on what was. "New York, just before and after 9/11. Downtown hipsters, musicians, skateboarders, artists and vandals. The city was alive. This book is a document of our NY just before everything changed." - Alain Levitt. Notorious for his documentation of the downtown New York City party scene of the early to mid-2000s, photographer Alain Levitt became well-known for his photos of underground artists, musicians, actors, and socialites like Chloe Sevigny, Johnny Depp, Amanda Lepore, Jay-Z, Michael Jackson, IRAK Crew: Sace, Earsnot, Fanta, KSToday. Walking through Dimes Square where his and his wife's restaurant, Bacaro, has become a premiere meeting hub for the neighborhood's youth, Alain recognizes that while "it's such a different world," the kids are still the same. "Young people are young people, man. It's different being older and not really understanding what's going on. I don't fully feel like I'm part of it in the same way but I love it and it seems the same, but one thing I see is it's more colorful, it's animated, and everything seems kind of to an extreme that I really love." When Bacaro first opened in 2007, there was no Dimes Square. He likens the emergence of the neighborhood to "the beginning of Williamsburg when that kind of popped off and all of a sudden, if you went down Bedford, it was just young people everywhere and everybody was dressing outrageous." Back then, congregating in Bedford symbolized a communal rejection of Manhattan.- $250

Freedom: A Fable [RARE 1997 1ST EDITION WITH ALL POP-UPS & THE RARE, ORIGINAL NORTON FAMILY GIFT POSTCARD LAID IN – FINE COPY]
Walker, Kara BOOK DESCRIPTION: The Peter Norton Family, Carlsbad, Ca., 1997. Hardcover, leather bound. First Edition, First Printing. Limited Edition of 4000 copies. Subtitled "A Curious Interpretation of the Wit of a Negress in Troubled Times". Size: 7¾" - 9¾. With all 5 pop-up, die-cut foldouts.

BOOK CONDITION: Fine; a solid, bright, tight, clean copy with a small bit of wear to lower spine front corner, all pop ups in excellent condition and a Fine postcard. Taking the form of a children s pop-up book, Freedom: A Fable transforms Kara Walker s monumental cut-paper silhouettes into a hand-held object. The work s title is a double entendre. The fable is not only the book s form but also its politics namely, the dark irony of the promise deferred of freedom, amid the failures of Reconstruction. The viewer holds the narrative in their hands, literally controlling the movement of bodies and scenes that animate the dark history of the American Civil War and its aftermath, and the story of one woman s hope. Freedom follows the thoughts and actions of a newly emancipated woman about to embark to her new world, in this case Liberia.- $4,500

SPAM Actual Size [LIMITED EDITION 24 x 26 inch silkscreen print]
Ruscha, Ed Avant Arte, 2024. UV pigment print with yellow silkscreen details and a matte varnish seal, printed on 410gsm Somerset Tub Sized Radiant White paper. Unframed: 24.4 x 26 inches (62.00 × 66.00 cm). Limited Edition of 1863 individually numbered and authenticated prints with a bespoke artist stamp (lower right corner). Also includes a separate Certificate of Authenticity issued by Avant Arte for this edition. CONDITION: Fine/New. Ed Ruscha painted Actual Size in 1962 at a similar time to sonic, one word paintings like Oof, Smash and Honk. In its use of a household brand, Actual Size also draws connections with everyday consumerism and with Ruscha's larger scale appropriations, like the Hollywood sign. The painting brings to life "SPAM in a can" a phrase coined by journalists to describe astronauts sent to space in self-piloting rockets. Its title is lifted from the world of advertising, circling the true-to-life dimensions of its flying subject. These layers speak to Ruscha's flair for dual meanings and deadpan humour. Actual Size plays an important part in the history of both Pop Art and Conceptual Art, propelling it to become one of Ruscha's most iconic paintings. To coincide with a retrospective at LACMA, it has been transformed into a limited edition print. Proceeds will support the museum's future.- $1,875
