We received a few books that we really lacked. We struggled but we can again offer you the excellent book on punk Swiss Hot love swiss punk & wave, 1976-1980 (SOLD!) . If like us you're a fan of Kleenex (Liliput), TNT ... this book is for you! Beautifully illustrated, bilingual German / English, the book is full of documents. Difficult to imagine that punk was also alive in the confederation Swiss, and yet ...
Besides, if you are passionate about the subject, there is a 1981 film, titled Züri Brannt precisely (like the piece of TNT), which is absolutely beautiful. We were fortunate to see him at the last edition of LUFF festival for which we believe was one of the biggest slaps in the room last year! Dry mounting and nervous, so slogans embedded ultra punk, very heavy, throbbing bass, this documentary shows the struggle of youth Zurich to wrest the city hall room cultural self-managed. It's fried, it's fighting, it not Mess.
http://www.luff.ch/fr/festival/2009/cinema/swisscinema/zueri-braennt/ (there is a DVD of this movie, but we have not yet managed to get hold of it). We sell € 55
the only copy of Hot love that we have recovered. It's more than when it was available, but it's really hard to find and prices have climbed, unfortunately.
Another marvel received recently, volume 1 of Chimushi , Toshio Saeki, the brilliant Editions Treville. We sell € 65 (which is less than what we could find on the Internet at Amazon and on E-bay, where the book is rather between 80 and 175 € dollars ...). (SOLD!).
Enough blabber, here are the pictures:
Always Editions Treville (Japan), we recovered a signed copy of My alphabet, Trevor Brown. Trevor Brown is an English artist living in Japan and its art is completely degenerated. It arouses strong reactions and mixed. We, we are part of the caste of his fanatics. € 49.
We also have a copy of Forbidden Fruit and one Li'l Miss Sticky Kiss .
Other Japanese whom we admire the work of illustration, Keiichi Tanaami. We have again the book Daydream , published Graphic-Sha, 28 €. Tanaami is active since the late 50s. It was during the 60s he went to San Francisco after having lived in the Warhol Factory. He discovered LSD and his art will suffer forever. Psyche of art as we love it!
And we still have books Blow up 1 and 2 and Spiral the same artist.
Another excellent book, Ultraviolet: 69 blacklight posters From The Aquarian Age and beyond , Dan Donahue, who compiles the psychedelic posters of the 60s and early 70s . Fluorescent printing, the book takes its full extent under a black lamp: it flashes severe! That captured the spirit of a period of great turmoil, when we thought that art (and drugs!) Could change the lives and the world. A real good book Sex & Drugs & Rock'n'Roll. Editions Abrams Image, 22 €.
And one for the road: Spaghetti erotico in the collection Street Design at Appearance Corp. (Japanese publisher). Street Design Collection compiles images on a specific theme (delusional Ghanaian coffins, lucha libre, Maoist propaganda ...). Here it is fumetti covers prone sex, erotic Italian comic books to graphic sublime, compiled by Kyoichi Tsuzuki. It's sexy (in the exploitation genre), often in bad taste, it's absolutely brilliant! This small size fits perfectly next to the splendid volumes Bizarre Sinema .
€ 28. (SOLD!).
