FREE domestic & international shipping with direct order. **[1961-1966?] Following the merger of the steel companies Cornigliano and Ilva in 1961, the resulting firm, Italsider, needed a new visual identity. Eugenio Carmi was design director for Cornigliano and then for Italsider. He created a wide range of folders and labels utilizing both bright, bold colors and more subtle ones in geometric forms. This collection consists of 16 of those folders, unused, and in very fine condition, apart from lightly rusted staples in some examples. The book Design Coordination and Corporate Image by F.H.K. Henrion and Alan Parkin (London: Studio Vista/New York: Reinhold, 1967) devotes six pages to this work, including a color double plate illustrating 16 of the folders. Six of these examples appear on those plates, along with four in variant colors and six others not illustrated. Sizes range from 30.7 to 29.5 cm tall and 22.6 to 21 cm wide. Carmi has produced several visual books and collaborated with Umberto Eco on others. This is a small exhibit on its own.

This imaginative publication includes work by and about Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Samuel Beckett, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Marcel Duchamp, Marshall McLuhan, Susan Sontag, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, and Gary Snyder, among many, many others. Each issue comes in a box or envelope containing many parts. There are 11 sound recordings and a reel of film in the set. It includes both the very rare 6A and its even rarer progenitor, Manipulations (NY: Judson Publications, 1967; 500 copies). Both consist of loose sheets in envelopes designed by Ralph Ortiz. Manipulations contains 12 colorful sections from the "12 Evenings of Manipulations" at the Judson Church Gallery printed on legal-size mimeograph paper folded in half (each section has a varied number of pages), and all but the Kaprow (as issued) contain an offset photographic image from the performance plus objects and other supplementary material. Participants include Allan Kaprow, Al Hansen, Kate Millet, and Nam June Paik. The interim issue No. 6A printed only the unillustrated program notes. Condition: all pieces present except as noted: No. 1, 1965 -- The black box; near fine, with two light creases in the cover of the box and a split on the front edge; a skinned spot (black) on the front of the box. No. 2, 1966 -- The white box; some wear to box and light soil; cover joint cracked. No. 3, December 1966 -- Pop Art issue with light cover wear and one small tear in front edge of box. No. 4, Spring 1967 -- the McLuhan issue; spine joints cracked 1 cm at top & 1 break in the usual place in the front edge of the box; a few light spots. Nos. 5+6. Fall-Winter 1967 -- Minimalism issue; complete except for Aspen renewal form; light wear to box. No. 6A, 1968/69 -- fine contents in expertly mended envelope. Manipulations, 1966 -- fine contents in expertly mended envelope. No. 7, Spring-Summer 1968/70 -- The British issue; complete in 14 parts (not 15, per table of contents); lightweight folded box deformed as usual, with repairs and tears at the ends of the cover hinge; in original mailing wrapper to Wittenborn; a few short tears and a crease at the left edge of the flap. No. 8, Fall-Winter 1970-1971 -- Art/Information/Science issue. No. 9, Winter-Spring, 1970 -- "Dream Weapon" psychedelic issue; lacks subscription form; fold rubbed and top end of fold torn. No. 10, 1971 -- the Asia issue; incomplete copy with 7 of 15 items; no case; this atypical issue devoted to classic Japanese screen paintings and other similar works has little connection with the prior issues. For a (nearly) complete list with pictures of the contents of all issues, please visit http://www.ubu.com and click on "Aspen." A marked set of these sheets accompanies each issue.

FREE domestic or international shipping with direct order. **NY: Something Else Press, February 1965 (©1964). One of 127 copies of the trade edition, each with a pale blue envelope glued inside the front cover that contains a unique object or artwork by the late mail artist Ray Johnson. [48] pp. filled with poems, lists, notes, aphorisms, and sketches, printed in several colors. Dark green cloth. 26 x 21.4 cm (oversquare). The flaps of the price-clipped, pictorial dustjacket contain an essay by William Wilson. The art work in this copy is a letter typed upside down on the official stationery of Edward T. Crinnion, First Deputy Commissioner, Department of Housing and Buildings, City of New York, and dated November 11, 1964, with a very funny request to the I. Merrill Foundation for a sum of money to be sent to the Beat poet Diane di Prima. The lower corner of the letter is rippled from moisture, probably from when the envelope was attached to the book. Fine.
