Description:
New York: Uranian Press, [ca. 1960] Broadside, approximately 12 x 9 inches, printed on brown paper. Contemporary rubber stamp monogram of Richard O. Tyler. Fine. Early broadside of the Uranian Press, advertising founder Richard Tyler's first exhibition at Judson Gallery, March 25 - April 14, 1960. An April 6 review in the VILLAGE VOICE points to "pages from his Uranian Press folios and chapbooks ... . Here too are stark and striking woodcuts in the manner of Mexico's great Posada, aptropaic [sic] icons, giant paintings, and collages set off by fantastic hand-worked frames. Prices range from 30 cents for broadsides up to $1000 for a collage." Richard Oviet Tyler (1926-1983) established the Uranian Press in 1958 in the basement of a tenement on the Lower East Side where, by 1960, he had installed four printing presses. Under the Uranian imprint, Tyler, his wife, Dorothea Baer Tyler, and friends produced chapbooks, broadsides, and artist's books through the mid-1960s. Tyler was a fixture in Greenwich… Read More

Contents include a "Dead End Kids" take on the Three Bears, humorous poetry, jokes, and a crossword puzzle. Scarce, with OCLC… Read More

[New York]: Uranian Press, 1962. First Edition. Broadside. Near fine. Baer, Dorothy [Tyler]. [ca. 1962]. Broadside, approximately 6½ x 5½ inches. Printed in red on green paper. Embossed with seal of Uranian Press in lower margin. Signatures of Dorothea Baer and Richard O. Tyler over rubber stamps of their monograms on verso. Faint toning at bottom edge, else fine. Small Uranian press broadside of the ancient Christian symbol of the fish, in a decorative border, signed in the print by Dorothea Baer Tyler with her "d.b.t." monogram.

Description:
New York: VVV, 1944. 11 inches. 86,[12] pp. including numerous in-text images, plus 7 tinted half-page plates and double-leaf work comprising 2 tinted plates, the first die-cut to reveal the second, which is also embossed. In English and French. Light soiling in covers, light foxing in outer leaves, some offsetting in and from plates. Very good to near fine. The substantial fourth and final issue of the important U.S.-based Surrealist magazine, with contributions by more than two dozen artists, poets, and scholars in the realms of myth, dream, and theory. Among the visual pieces in this issue is Duchamp's ALLEGORIE DE GENRE, in which an embossed plate showing strips of fabric containing slivered stars and red bloody stripes is framed by a blue-tinted plate die-cut in the profile of George Washington. The final twelve pages, printed on green paper, contain an index of contributors to all four issues of the magazine. The cover features an image of a vagina dentata by Roberto Matta.
