A DELUXE COPY
291, no. 1 New York: Haviland, 1915 Folio, wrappers, 6pp. Front and rear covers by de Zayas as full-page, hand-colored lithos, in the deluxe edition on heavy vellum paper. Articles by Stieglitz, Agnes Meyer, Paul Haviland, a calligram by Apollinaire, an image by Picasso, and a page of prose lambasting critics and the public climate towards modern art. This copy has two creases from folding (presumably for mailing) and the cover fold is loose, but the whole is else very good. Alfred Steiglitz published 291 a journal devoted to the work of modern artists in New York (the first such publication in the city) and named it after his gallery (in turn named after the street number). It is one of the most seminal of art journals and inspired many others including Picabia's later 391. All issues are extremely rare as it is documented that only 30 or so were sold at the time and the rest of the run were left to the printer to cover the costs of production, and soon thereafter recycled by him as pulp.

AN UNIQUE FLUXUS BOX
Anderson, Eric 720108. Unique Fluxus box c. 1967. Unique work. 8.4 x 12.4 x 3cm plastic transparent box content of various small pieces of paper which all carry random measurements glued or scotch taped to the box. The lid of the box can be removed. On the top of the box is a 4 x 10cm adhesive label which has the title number "720108" on it and is signed in pencil by Anderson. Underneath the box is another label with Andersen's then address in Denmark. A unique work, this is clearly related to various multiples and other works created by Andersen that consider random distances and numbers. The upper address label is a little stained with glue as well as browned but overall this is in fine condition given the relatively rough and ready workmanship deliberately utilised by Andersen.

Brouwn, Stanley BERLIN - POTZDAMMERPLATZ. Unique work 16.02, / 20. 11. 1969. Four different 8,4 x 8,9 cm black and white photographs taken by Brouwn and one appropriated offset lithograph postcard (14.2 x 10.4 cm). Each photograph is signed and dated and the postcard additionally entitled in ink by Brouwn. On the two dates Brouwn (who was showing at the Rene Block Gallery) went to the centre of Berlin and took the rather blurry and dark photographs of the square at different intervals during the day - photographs which display the dark oppressive centre of the city with the Berlin Wall an ominous and shadowy presence when compared with the busy and vibrant picture postcard. Brouwn then cut a passeporteau out of cheap paper for both the card and the four photographs and displayed them on the walls of the Gallery. The two papers are still present here although the photographs and card are no longer mounted on them (but to re-mount them could be easily achieved). This is a fine example of an unique original work by Brouwn. Full provenance available. Images attached.

ONE OF HAMISH FULTON'S FIRST EVER ONE PERSON EXHIBITIONS
(Fulton, Hamish) THE RICHARD DEMARCO GALLERY. March 1972 Edinburgh: Demarco Gallery, 1972 25 x 15cm, 3pp (printed recto only). The gallery's newsletter that also acted as the exhibition catalogue for the shows. Here the newsletter notes three shows which include Hamish Fulton's third ever one person show (after shows at Konrad Fischer and Gallery Sperone). Bizarrely while the other panels of the other two artist's exhibiting that month are complete with text and b/w images, the Fulton panel is left blank with only the artist's name noted at the top although one is tempted to suggest a printer's mistake since the panel next to Fulton's is also sans text and the b/w image of a rocky outcrop looks suspiciously like a Futon photograph of the period and is perhaps been laid down wrongly during the design - but we cannot vouch for this being the case. A very scarce document if a little uninformative. Ex-libris - Robin Crozier Fluxus artist. Fine and scarce.

Works reproduced in b/w and colour include "Perfect Lovers" and a FTG jigsaw as well as photographic works by both. All FTG catalogues are hard to find. The title comes from a Smith's LP and, here, is an adapted phrase which by spacing the words Strange and Ways out changes the meaning of the title from that of a Manchester (England) prison to a mode of operation.
