Unique or Ubiquitous: Art Prints and the Uniform Commercial Code WENDY C. LOWENGRUB* Law, in its search for truth and justice through precedence and tradition, often ignores the fundamental meaning of an act or an object. The fine art print is one such example. A recent case in the Southern District of New York held that art prints are unique: "two prints by the same artist and from the same plate are not interchangeable."' The court refused to allow the seller of a Picasso print to cure under the Uniform Commercial Code ("U.C.C.") section 2-5082 by offering a substitute print from the same plate, printed at the same time, and signed by Picasso to the buyer who claimed breach of contract because of a forged signature on the initial print.' Presumably, the New York court was dazzled by the cost of the print ($1.68 million) and by the argument that printing plates wear significantly during printing.

  • The Museum Off Modern Art
    The Museum off Modern Art For Immediate Release November 1987 FOR 25 YEARS: CROWN POINT PRESS November 20, 1987 - February 9, 1988 The twenty-fifth anniversary of Crown Point Press, the distinguished California print workshop and publisher, is celebrated in an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art from November 20, 1987, to February 9, 1988. Organized by Riva Castleman, director of the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, FOR 25 YEARS: CROWN POINT PRESS includes approximately forty works published by Crown Point Press, most of which are from a large donation commemorating its quarter century. Artists represented in the exhibition include John Cage, Francesco Clemente, Joan Jonas, Elaine de Kooning, Robert Mangold, Tom Marioni, Judy Pfaff, Steve Reich, Ed Ruscha, David True, and William Wiley (complete list attached). Founded in 1962 in the basement of director Kathan Brown's Berkeley home, Crown Point Press was a print workshop organized to produce bound books of prints. The complete production process of the early books, which included editions by Wayne Thiebaud and Richard Diebenkorn, was considered part of the art work. In 1970 Crown Point printed its first non-book work, color aquatints by Thiebaud, published by the newly-formed Parasol Press in New York. Two years later Brown moved her etching presses to a studio in Oakland, where she remained until 1986. During the years 1971-76 Crown Point continued to print for other publishers, working with such New York artists as Sol LeWitt, Brice - more - 11 West 53 Street New York, NY 10019-5486 Tel: 212-708-9400 Coble; MPDERNART Telex: 62370 MODART - 2 - Marden, Chuck Close, Dorothea Rockburne, Robert Mangold, Dan Flavin, and Helen Frankenthaler.

Catal. jazz 03-4 8-03-2012 19:14 Pagina 3 La bellezza della musica La bellezza della musica è un fatto sostanzialmente indicibile. Sulla musica si sono riempiti vagoni di libri e si allungheranno chilometri di files. Eppure – lo sosteneva anche il grande Leonard Bernstein – chi mai riuscirà a spiegare compiutamente ed esaurientemente il singolaris- simo fenomeno della reazione dell’uomo al linguaggio dei suoni? Ci possiamo provare (ed è legittimo farlo), ma il mistero che ci pervade ogni volta, all’ascolto di Cavaradossi che canta “E luce- van le stelle”, resta impenetrabile. Come tutti i linguaggi dell’arte, la musica ha vissuto momenti 3 incomparabili, in cui le vette più alte della creatività umana erano intravedibili da tutti: i corali di Bach, le sinfonie di Mozart, le sonate di Beethoven, le arie di Verdi e Puccini. Chiunque poteva toccare il cielo con un dito. Poi, soprattutto nel secolo appena conclusosi, gli artisti, i poeti, i musicisti hanno ritenuto giusto incamminarsi su strade sempre più ardue e innalzare torri più alte: penso a personaggi pur geniali come Picasso, Joyce, Stravinskj e penso al jazz, una musica nata in America da una costola della nostra cultura europea ma per molti versi rimastaci spesso estranea. Tuttavia, ciò che del jazz ha senza dubbio e da sempre attirato l’at- tenzione persino dei più scettici è l’esser una musica capace di possedere sia le caratteristiche del linguaggio difficile e impegna- tivo sia la comunicatività diretta delle espressioni popolari.

Also note the attention that Ellington's soloists gave to timbre and envelope (attack, change of timbre and loudness over time, and decay), like many others who began their careers in early jazz of the 1920s. Wide variation of timbre and envelope were less often used as expressive devices (except by a few players) in late swing, bebop and early modern jazz of the late 1930s through the 1950s. Exceptions during that period, especially in rhythm and blues, were viewed by many in the jazz world as unsophisticated, vulgar, and/or a means of pandering to audiences' bad taste. In the 1960s, avant-garde players reclaimed wide variations in timbre and envelope as important expressive parameters. 2.

  • Kathan Brown Oral History Transcript
    San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Regional Oral History Office 75th Anniversary The Bancroft Library Oral History Project University of California, Berkeley SFMOMA 75th Anniversary KATHAN BROWN Founder, Crown Point Press Interviews conducted by Jess Rigelhaupt in 2007 Copyright © 2008 by San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Funding for the Oral History Project provided in part by Koret Foundation. Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kathan Brown, dated March 29, 2007.
