Title: SOURCE: Music of the Avant Garde
Author: Austin, Larry
Seller: Brian Cassidy Bookseller at Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Very good plus to near fine overall.
Description: Davis and Sacramento CA: Composer / Performer Edition, 1973. First edition. Very good plus to near fine overall.. Complete eleven-issue run of this arguably the greatest publication to emerge from the mid-century experimental music scene. Elaborately-produced and edited by Larry Austin (UC-Davis instructor and director of its New Music Ensemble), SOURCE aimed not only to document the experimental music scene that centered primarily on the West Coast (Mills College, etc.), but to expand the very idea of the musical score: "Our idea of a 'score' is broad. To us it is transcribed information about the composer's music-making process and contains a way of imparting this information to those who might recreate the composition" (Austin, issue 1). Much like frequent contributor John Cage's 1969 book NOTATIONS, SOURCE argued in part that the score should be viewed as much as a visual art as a musical one. This was reflected in the magazine's production: a Dick Higgins score riddled with actual bullet holes, John Cage's "Not Wanting to Say Anything About Marcel" printed in color on glassine, and perhaps most infamously Nelson Howe's "Fur Music," which utilized actual tipped-in fur swatches and included the instruction "to focus attention on the exploration of the tactile qualities of fur, but with the added requirement that the tactile sensation be *heard*." Contributors across the run include: John Cage, Toshi Ichiyanagi, Harry Partch, David Tudor, Morton Feldman, Robert Ashley, Pauline Oliveros, Dick Higgins, Nam June Paik, Steve Reich, Harold Budd, Lejaren Hiller, Max Neuhaus, Larry Austinm, among many others. 11 numbers in 10 volumes, 10.77'' x 14''. Original spiral-bound pictorial wrappers all. Issues 7/8 printed tete beche. Various paginations. Printed offset throughout on various paper stocks, with numerous custom elements: die-cut and folded sheets, glassine inserts, and a variety of tipped-in items. Contents complete with all inserts, records, and like. Minor soil and rubbing here and there. Small dampstain to front cover of issue one. Occasional chipping to plastic binding. Overall, remarkably well kept.

Seller: Gerard Koskovich Queer Antiquarian Books

Title: Bookplate: Ex Libris K. David
Author: Carl Hermann Holzhey
Seller: Gerard Koskovich Queer Antiquarian Books (United States)
Condition: Very Good+
Description: Bookplate in the form of an original etching by German artist Carl Hermann Holzhey (1878–1935, or 1936 according to one source). The spelling of the last name is sometimes cited as Holzhe. Little biographical information on the artist appears in web searches—but library and museum holdings and sales records document that he was commissioned by a number of patrons to produce bookplates and was a fairly prolific printmaker and illustrator. The bookplate offers a visual pun on the name of the book collector who commissioned the print: EX LIBRIS K. DAVID appears under an image of a fully nude young David from the Old Testament leaning on a huge sword with his right hand and holding the head of Goliath in his left. Beyond his feet is a distant cityscape of domed buildings. One copy of the bookplate is recorded in a museum collection: the Galéria Mesta Bratislavy, the municipal art gallery of Bratislava, the capital of the Slovak Republic. SIGNATURE: Signed in pencil on the margin at right below the lower plate mark: "H. Holzhey"; signed in the plate at lower right: "H. Holzhey". CONDITION: Left margin of print ragged (as produced—original edge of hand-laid sheet); small chips to print at outside upper corner (0.4 cm x 0.6 cm) & outside lower corner (0.4 cm x 0.3 cm); faint finger mark to lower margin of print; tiny bump from inclusion in paper near upper margin of print; penciled annotation along upper margin of print: "Harmann Holzhey (1878–1935), [illegible] ca. 1920"; penciled annotation to verso of print: "389 6.50"; print tipped onto backing with two spots of paste on upper margin of verso.
