Description
70 pp. Small 4to (210 x 160 mm.), pictorial semi-stiff wrappers, title on spine. Amsterdam: VOID distributors, 1980. The essential compendium of Ulises Carrión’s polemical essays; printed in an edition of 500 by Hetty Huisman’s VOID Distributors. His trailblazing theories and beliefs about artists’ books and mail art remain influential to this day. “The New Art of Making Books,” first published in Plural no. 41 (1975), is frequently cited by contemporary book artists. The book includes his most important essays: “The New Art of Making Books,” “From Bookworks to Mailworks,” “Rubber Stamp Theory and Praxis,” “Rubber Stamp Art,” “Mail Art and the Big Monster,” “Table of Mail Art Works,” “Personal Worlds or Cultural Strategies?” “Bookworks Revisited.” Each has printed notes in the margins, providing clarifications or revealing Carrión’s latest views on a subject. Fine copy. This book is now rather rare on the market. ❧ John Held, Jr., ed., Mail Art: An Annotated Bibliography (1991) 6–”Highly recommended.”.

Description
Card (150 x 106 mm.) with text added by rubber stamp in red, blue, green, and yellow ink. Amsterdam: 1976. One of the rarest pieces of ephemera created by Ulises Carrión’s bookstore and exhibition space, Other Books and So. In 1975, the year of its founding, the space had hosted shows for the Beau Geste Press, Jiri Valoch, Opal L. Nations, and Eric van der Wal. For the present exhibition, Carrión invited 200 artists who employed stamps in their work and displayed their pieces on the walls of Other Books and So (when it was located at 227 Herengracht). In fine condition; nice impressions. From the collection of Guy Schraenen (1941-2018). ❧ Juan J. Agius, ed., Ulises Carrión & The Big Monster (2014), pp. 38-39 (pictured on p. 38, with a photograph of the exhibition).

Description
96 unnumbered pages. Thick 8vo (210 x 150 mm.), semi-stiff printed wrappers. Geneva: Editions Héros-Limite, 2005. The scarce second edition of Ulises Carrión’s famous Arguments (1st ed.: 1973, published by the Beau Geste Press). In the Getty Research Institute exhibition catalogue Artists and Their Books, Books and Their Artists (2018), Zanna Gilbert writes (about the first edition): “Carrión humorously interrogates the structure and content of books and the literary devices used by authors and playwrights. The titular exchanges in Arguments are indicated only by the names of the participants, with no reference to the actual content of their disagreements. The distinctly Anglophone names are arranged in various configurations on each page of the book, leaving the reader to wonder about the substance of the disputes.” As new. From an edition of 750 copies. ❧ U. Carrión, Quant aux Livres (2008), p. 202.
