    IN OUR TIME So far 2013 has been an exciting year at Swann. In January, a sale of illustration art and illustrated books established what will be a new department for us, while our reinstated Old Master Drawings auction drew crowds and much interest for a newly discovered J.M.W. Turner watercolor. February saw our best winter Vintage Posters auction ever, setting records for images by Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha, and love was in the air at our Valentine’s Day auction of African-American Fine Art, where paintings by Barkley L. Hendricks and Hughie Lee-Smith, as well as a sculpture by Elizabeth Catlett, achieved top-dollar results. We wrapped up the month with Fine Photographs, featuring early Asian travel albums and avant-garde modernist images, followed by scarce Early Printed Books. American and European artists divided the top lots at our March 7 Prints & Drawings auction, and the word of the day at our Writing Instruments sale was Montblanc, Montblanc, Montblanc. Looking ahead, May is a busy month full of intriguing offerings, including graphic design and typography from the inventory of the late Irving Oaklander, noted bookseller, followed by more scintillating design, typography and graphic art in our sale of modernist posters. Our Contemporary Art sale coincides with Frieze week in New York, and the month concludes with a diverse auction of Autographs. In early June a sale of Maps & Atlases offers rare items of American interest, and mid-month American Art features paintings and drawings by artists including Milton Avery, Robert Gwathmey and John Singer Sargent.

In other words, the technique determines possibilities which are then perceived and translated by operators or others, notably photographers. With regard to photo/graphics, my position is the same: the introduction of photography into graphics systems was to engender new possibilities and reinvigorate the question of graphic design. And this in turn raises another issue: the printing of the photograph, which is to say, its assimilation to both the print and the illustration, with the mass distribution that implies.

  • The Urban and Cultural Climate of Rotterdam Changed Radically Between 1970 and 2000. Opinions Differ About What the Most Importa
    The urban and cultural climate of Rotterdam changed radically between 1970 and 2000. Opinions differ about what the most important changes were, and when they occurred. Imagine a Metropolis shows that it was first and foremost a new perspective on Rotterdam that stimulated the development of the city during this period. If the Rotterdam of 1970 was still a city with an identity crisis that wanted to be small rather than large and cosy rather than commercial, by 2000 Rotterdam had the image of the most metropolitan of all Dutch cities. Artists and other cultural practitioners – a group these days termed the ‘creative class’ – were the first to advance this metropolitan vision, thereby paving the way for the New Rotterdam that would begin to take concrete shape at the end of the 1980s. Imagine a Metropolis goes on to show that this New Rotterdam is returning to its nineteenth-century identity and the developments of the inter-war years and the period of post-war reconstruction. For Nina and Maria IMAGINE A METROPOLIS ROTTERDAM’S CREATIVE CLASS, 1970-2000 PATRICIA VAN ULZEN 010 Publishers, Rotterdam 2007 This publication was produced in association with Stichting Kunstpublicaties Rotterdam. On February 2, 2007, it was defended as a Ph.D. thesis at the Erasmus University, Rotterdam. The thesis supervisor was Prof. Dr. Marlite Halbertsma. The research and this book were both made possible by the generous support of the Faculty of History and Arts at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, G.Ph.

H. Tutundjian, Konstantin Vialov, Ilia Zdanevitch, Piet Zwart Ubu Gallery is pleased to present AVANT-GARDES: Selections from the Merrill C. Berman Collection, featuring more than 65 works by over 40 artists associated with most of the major European avant-garde movements which flourished between the two World Wars. Selected from his superb collection by Merrill Berman himself, this exhibition presents a richly diverse group of artists and styles linked by their “forward- looking” posture and visual “punch.” The works to be exhibited at Ubu – as with Berman’s entire collection – represent a “personalized” cut through 20th Century visual culture “authored” by a collector with an extremely keen and knowledgeable eye. Rather than acquiring only important names (although the collection has more than its share of these, as well), Berman has considered the “aesthetic” aspect of each work and its historical context in deciding whether to add it to his collection.

  • Notes and News TIDINGS from the BOARD Dr. Albert Derolez, A
    Notes and news TIDINGSFROM THE BOARD Dr. Albert Derolez, a member of our Advisory Board, was appointcd in October 1972 to an Extraordinary Professorship at the Free University of Brussels,where he is now giving a course of lectures on Codicology and Miniatures. His inaugural lecture dealt with Codicology and Cultural History, and will be published shortly in the Journal of the Free Univcrsity. Albert Derolez was born in Blankenberge, Belgium, in 1934. In 1970 he took his doctorate in history, his thesis being entitled 'De Liber Floridus-autograaf (cod. Gand. 92). Een codicolo- gische studie'. Since 1962 he has been in charge of the Department of Manuscripts and Rare Books of the University Library of Ghent, where he is also director of the restoration workshop. Derolez's interest is directed principally at the medieval libraries, especially those of the Low Countrics, and their catalogues, though at thc same time he is interested in the more limited branches of codicology, such as the archaeological study of medieval manuscripts and their various characteristics. It is largely in this field, indeed, that Derolez's publications are to be found. Of these we may mention here De rniddeleeuwsebibliotheekgeschiedcnis.

  • Mechanics and Expression: Franz Roh and the New Vision — a Historical Sketch
    Mechanics and Expression: Franz Roh and the New Vision — A Historical Sketch Inka Graeve Ingelmann Photo-eye is a nervous and important book. Its editors call the world not only beautiful but exciting, cruel, and weird. In intention social and didactic, this is an anthology of the “new” photography; yet its editors knew where to look for their material. — Walker Evans,“The Reappearance of Photography,” 19311 Foto-auge (Photo-eye) was one of the most influential publi- cations in the field of the New Photography in the 1920s (fig. 1). Shortly after its appearance it was euphorically celebrated as a “culturally pioneering work,” as a “collection of disturb- ingly beautiful pictures,” and as an “art history of modern photography,” and it took first place among the fifty most beautiful books of 1929.2 This compendium was conceived after a visit by Franz Roh, an academically trained art critic and champion of modern photography living in Munich, and the typographer Jan Tschichold, who was teaching in Munich, to the Stuttgart film and photography exhibition Film und Foto, known as Fi/Fo,3 from which most of its photographs were taken. Roh contributed the programmatic text “Mechanismus und Ausdruck” (Mechanism and expression), and Tschichold was responsible for the cover design and typography. Together they made the picture selection, a distillation from the more than one thousand works in the exhibition. Foto-auge contains seventy-six reproductions reflect- ing the entire range of the Neues Sehen (New Vision), and formulates the new photographic aesthetic that had estab- lished itself as the way of the future around 1929.

  • (27 February I8g?-25 October 1973), One of the Pioneers of the New Functional Typography of the Twenties and Thirties Has Passed Away
    Notes and news PAULSCHUITEMA t With the death of Paul Schuitema (27 February i8g?-25 October 1973), one of the pioneers of the new functional typography of the twenties and thirties has passed away. Together with Piet Zwart, who taught in Rotterdam, and Gerrit Kiljan, who was his colleague at the academy in The Hague, Schuitema developed, both as a practising typographer and as a teacher, the specifically Dutch variety of that international style which was directly linked with the general concepts of design of Neue Sachlichkeit,functionalism, the Bauhaus and the De Stijl movement - neglecting, for present purposes, the differences between these various terms and movements. The exact sequence of events, influences and reactions leading up to the formation of this style has not yet been established. Fortunately, however, the last few years have given us numerous studies on individual artists or aspects of their work, making valuable contributions to our understanding of this period of intense and very intricately interconnected activities. If the reader will permit a rather dubious use of agricultural metaphor, we might say that Dada ploughed the soil in German typography, in which Lissitsky then sowed, as a representative of the Russian suprematist and constructivist movement. The resultant plants were tended by several artists both within the Bauhaus (Moholy-Nagy, Herbert Bayer) and outside it (Tschi- chold, Moltzalm, Dexel, Burchartz, Vordemberge-Gildewart). Some of the first sprigs were then transplanted into Dutch soil, prepared by De Stijl, and were nursed especially by Zwart and Schuitema. Practically all these typographers took to photography or worked together with photographers and cineasts practising the new, unshrouded vision, like Renger-Patzsch or Joris Ivens, to name but two.
