[Nos. 2 through 5/6 carry the subtitle: "Zeitschrift Zwischen Basel und New York."] Six numbers in five fascicles (160, 160,130,120,156 pp.) comprising a complete run of the photographically illustrated magazine published by Hungarian-Swiss art dealer and psychoanalyst Carl Laszlo. 4to, ca. 30 cm. Each issue contains an original photographic print: no. 1 (1982) Mapplethorpe, Robert. Portrait of William S. Burroughs, 1982. Unsigned. Verso stamps of the photographer, Radar, and C.L.A.G. Print shows light surface marks and marginal toning ; no. 2 (1983) Manon. Self-portrait. Unsigned, with verso stamps of the photographer and C.L.A.G. Near fine ; no. 3 (1984) Malanga, Gerard. Portrait of Taylor Mead. Signed in the print and dated 1971 at lower right, verso stamps of the photographer, Radar, and C.L.A.G. Near fine ; no. 4 (1984) Bokris, Victor. Portrait of William S. Burroughs. Unsigned, verso stamps of the photographer, Radar, and C.L.A.G. Excellent, with light marginal toning ; no. 5/6 (1988) lacks the called for "Fotokomposition, 1985" by Erik H. Olson. In its place, this exemplar comes with an original photographic print showing Mapplethorpe in conversation with Laszlo, signed in ink on the verso "Für Stefan" by Carl Laszlo and "[copyright] Michael Heitmann '82" by the photographer. Near fine. All photos approx. 6x8 to 8x10 in. Journals are all very good, a few with light rubbing at the extremities. Illus. stiff wraps, embossed in metallic inks, extremities a bit rubbed. [599]

The exuberant Radar presents Laszlo's mediation on the connections between the European avant-gardes and American beats (particularly William S. Burroughs) woven through the emerging punk and contemporary art worlds of the 1980s. Contributors included Mapplethorpe, Burroughs, Victor Bokris, Christopher Makos, Gerard Malanga, Tseng Kwon Chi, Walter Stedding, Marcia Resnick, Legs McNeil, Richard Hell, Michael Barfuss, Michael Heitmann, Herbert Huncke, Rene Mati, Patricia Highsmith, Allen Ginsberg, and others. Deported to Auschwitz in 1944, and freed in Theresienstadt during the last days of the war, Carl Laszlo moved to Basel to complete his medical studies and later, to Zurich, where he became a student of the renowned psychiatrist Lipót Szondi. Around the same time, Laszlo began trading works of art. In addition to Radar, he published the journal Panderma and a collection of punk photography called No Future.

New York: The Limited Editions Club. Near Fine. 1995. Limited Edition. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Revelation was written at the height of Christians prosecution by the Romans and the book as inspired many past literary masterpieces by the likes of Dante and Milton. For this edition the great American artist Allan Rohan Crite was inspired to produce fifteen relief engravings for possibly the ultimate illustrated edition of the book of Revelations. Revelations passionately speak against the power of evil and encourage Christians to resist even at the cost of martyrdom. Many critics considers this to be Crite's finest religious work. One volume (16 x 22 inches) Relief engravings were printed on Japanese paper and mounted on heavy paper handmade in Pescia Italy. Volume is handbound in burgundy linen and the solander box covered in black Italian cotton. The inset is Nigerian goatskin and the title stamped in 22-karat gold.

This book is in very good condition. There is minor wear on the dust cover and little to no wear at all on the front, back, spine and edges of the cover boards. The pages are white, crisp and free of any markings. "Perhaps because it seems so close in time to our own experience, many art lovers feel a special kinship with the turn of the century. We speak of fin-de siecle artists almost as if we know them, and a large body of scholarly work exists covering nearly every conceivable aspect of the late nineteenth-century philosophy, sociology, and art. Given that, it is a rare and remarkable opportunity when one finds something new and unknown about the late 1800's, a privilege we at the Smithsonian Institute Traveling Exhibition Service are pleased to share with everyone who reads this book and visits the exhibition Art Nouveau Bing...." - Foreword from Art Nouveau Bing: Paris Style 1900
