  • 'A True Magic Chamber': the Public Face of the Modernist Bookshop
    ‘A True Magic Chamber’: The Public Face of the Modernist Bookshop Andrew Thacker Modernist Cultures 11.3 (2016): 429–451 DOI: 10.3366/mod.2016.0149 © Edinburgh University Press www.euppublishing.com/loi/mod Abstract This article explores the role of bookshops in the construction of a public for modernism and analyses a number of bookshops committed to promoting modernist culture, such as those run by Sylvia Beach (Shakespeare and Company), Adrienne Monnier (La Maison des Amis des Livres), and Frances Steloff (Gotham Book Mart). It also considers how the bookshop is a fulcrum between commerce and culture, a key issue for contemporary modernist studies, and discusses aspects of bookshop culture that seem to operate ‘beyond’ the market. One example is that of We Moderns, a catalogue issued by the Gotham Book Mart in 1940 and which represents a fascinating example of the print culture of the modernist bookshop. Drawing upon the work of Mark Morrisson and Lawrence Rainey, the article also evaluates the position of the bookshop within debates around modernism and the public sphere. The Business of the Magic Chamber A member of the public strolling through Paris in the early 1920s who drifts onto the Left Bank in search of culture, might find themselves in the triangle of small streets between the grander avenues of Boulevard St. Michel and the Boulevard St. Germain in the 6th Arrondissement. These are the streets around the Sorbonne and, as such, there are many bookshops servicing the university. Thinking it might be fun to buy a book, a modern or contemporary book, they stroll up Rue de l'Odéon, across from the National Theatre, spying a likely looking bookshop and decide to enter.

  • Rudy Burckhardt's a Walk Through Astoria and Other Places in Queens
    1 Rudy Burckhardt’s A Walk Through Astoria and Other Places in Queens By Christopher Sweet August 2017 The photographer and filmmaker Rudy Burckhardt (1914–1999) arrived in New York in 1935 from his native Switzerland, and was quickly immersed in avant-garde circles and the New York School. His then partner and life-long friend, the poet and dance critic Edwin Denby (1903– 1983), whom he had first met in Basel the year before, introduced him to Virgil Thomson, Aaron Copland, Paul Bowles, and others and together they soon encountered and befriended their neighbor, an unknown painter at the time, Willem de Kooning. The two, together and separately, would become essential figures in the downtown cultural bohemian scene over the next several decades, with friends and artistic collaborators including John Ashbery, Frank O’Hara, Franz Kline, Joseph Cornell, Larry Rivers, Alex Katz, Red Grooms, and many others. Burckhardt was initially daunted by what he called the “grandeur and ceaseless energy” of New York City, and it would take him two to three years before he began to photograph the city. In the meantime, he made his first film in 1936, a silent comedy set largely in his Chelsea loft and featuring Copland, Bowles, Thomson, and others. By 1939 he had created his first masterpiece, the photographic album New York, N. Why?, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The work consists of 67 photographs arranged and sequenced in three main movements, focusing on street facades, shops and signage, and the ebb and flow of people in the streets, along with six sonnets by Edwin Denby and an excerpt from a New Yorker article.

  • Edward Gorey Phantasmagorey, 1974 Pen and Ink with Collage on Paper Collection of Clifford Ross
    Edward Gorey Phantasmagorey, 1974 Pen and ink with collage on paper Collection of Clifford Ross Phantasmagorey is a play on the term “phantasmagoria” which means: “a constantly shifting, complex succession of things seen or imagined.” Like a phantasmagoria, this series of six images reveals dreamlike glimpses into Gorey’s imagination. Each vignette shows a common motif in Gorey’s work, including a ghostly femme fatale, a cat sitting atop a stack of books, and a fur-coated self-portrait. This drawing was made for an exhibition of the same name, held at the Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University, in 1974. An art student named Clifford Ross, now a contemporary artist in his own right, curated the first survey of Gorey’s work for his senior thesis. 501 Harry Benson Scottish, born 1929 Edward Gorey in His New York City Apartment with Cat, 1978 Gelatin silver print Collection of the artist Benson’s photographic portrait offers a glimpse into Gorey’s apartment in Manhattan’s Murray Hill neighborhood, where he lived from 1953 to 1983. Gorey displayed his collection of fine art—including a print by Edvard Munch and drawings by Balthus—next to found objects that he treated as works of art, such as a weathered crucifix and a needlepoint of a skull. Out and about in the city, he took in movies, theater, dance, and art exhibitions. At home, he retreated to his creative sanctuary filled with obscure books, fine art, and his beloved cats.

  • FIFTY-ONE YEARS of FILM by RUDY BURCKHARDT to BE SCREENED at Moma BEGINNING FEBRUARY 6
    The MuSeUITI Of Modem Art For Immediate Release January 1987 FIFTY-ONE YEARS OF FILM BY RUDY BURCKHARDT TO BE SCREENED AT MoMA BEGINNING FEBRUARY 6 The unprecedented fifty-one year career of independent filmmaker Rudy Burckhardt will be celebrated in a major film retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, beginning Friday, February 6, 1987. Mr. Burckhardt, who is also a noted photographer and painter, will introduce the exhibition with a program of films entitled "The Streets of New York" on February 6 at 6:30 p.m. THE FILMS OF RUDY BURCKHARDT has been organized by Laurence Kardish, curator in the Museum's Department of Film, and the novelist and essayist Phillip Lopate, who have arranged sixty-seven films into fourteen thematically-related programs. The exhibition includes Mr. Burckhardt's first film, 145 West 21 (1936), with Aaron Copland, Paul Bowles, Paula Miller, and Virgil Thomson, and his most recent, Digital Venus (1987). The films in the exhibition include both fiction and poetic documentaries, revealing Mr. Burckhardt's lyrical eye and gentle playfulness, especially in his depiction of New York City street scenes and his "travel diaries." He has created several short comedies in collaboration with a wide variety of New York City artists, including the painters Alex Katz and Red Grooms, and the poets John Ashbery and Edwin Denby. In addition, he made films with the late surrealist artist and filmmaker Joseph Cornell and with the dancers Paul Taylor and Douglas Dunn. Concurrent with the Museum's film exhibition are shows of Mr. Burckhardt's paintings at the Blue Mountain Gallery, 121 Wooster Street, New York City, February 6-25, and photographs at the Brooke Alexander Gallery, 59 Wooster Street, New York City, February 10-March 7.

Even if you live with another bibliovore, what are the chances that you will both be struck by the desire to read and discuss, say, ''Bleak House'' or ''Ulysses'' at precisely the same moment? The growing popularity of reading groups and book clubs attests to the desire to talk about books as well as read them. Another motivation for joining such groups, suggested Alberto Manguel, author of ''A History of Reading,'' is that it ''makes you feel less guilty about an activity that society sees as leisure, entertainment or diversion.'' As a result, he said, ''it gives us an alibi for this kind of guilty pleasure.'' In fact, New Yorkers have been gathering together for general book talk for more than 100 years, said Thomas Bender, a professor of history at New York University. Around the turn of the century, he said, such groups played an important part in the city's cultural life. The phenomenon of the author as a star had already developed in Europe earlier in the 19th century, Mr.
