Description
[Hamburg: Self-published], 1977. Very faint fading to spine, else a remarkably fine copy in bold illustrated wrappers. Only two OCLC records located, both of them in Switzerland; MoMA also records a copy. A Kippenberger rarity.. First Edition. Octavo. One of only 100 copies of Martin Kippenberger's first artist's book; a collaborative project with Achim Duchow and Jochen Krüger, published on the occasion of a group exhibition staged at Kippenberger's Hamburg apartment (Oct. 28, 1977). Kippenberger's contribution—credited to Kippy Kippensberger (pp. 74-120)—includes dozens of xerographic reproductions of his early cycle of black-and-white Florence paintings (Uno di voi, un tedesco in Firenze), accompanied by a transcript of his conversation with the German actor Balduin Baas from just a few days before the exhibition's opening. Forming the mid-section, Jochen Krüger's chiaroscuro street photography imbues this volume with the feel of a Provoke publication. (Koch 1).

Description
On a slip of paper 68 x 109 mm. Dated London, March 27, 1909. In black ink. Slightly creased; right edge slightly frayed, not affecting signature. Together with a three-quarter length vintage photograph of Schumann-Heink by the White Studio in New York, ca. 177 x 126 mm. "Between 1897 and 1901 Schumann-Heink took part in four consecutive Covent Garden seasons, and became a regular member of the Metropolitan company for a similar period (1898-1903), returning subsequently for single seasons only. By then she had begun the series of popular and profitable cross-country American concert tours that occupied much of the rest of her long career. In 1909 she returned to Dresden to sing the part of Clytemnestra in the première of Elektra. Although she could sing (and very well) virtually anything, her English and American stage career centred on Wagner; and it was as Erda that she bade farewell to the Metropolitan in 1932, still captivating the audience, as the American critic Olin Downes wrote, with 'knowledge and imagination embodied in the tone and in every syllable of the text she delivered so memorably'. These words well describe the effect vividly conveyed by her Erda and Waltraute recordings made less than three years before. Although largely unrepresentative of her serious repertory, her many other recordings, made over a period of 25 years, give a splendid impression of her powers: of her opulent and flexible tones from low D to high B, the amazing fullness and evenness of her shake, her artistic conviction, dramatic temperament and vivid enunciation. Among them should be mentioned the brindisi from Lucrezia Borgia (several versions, all good), the prison scene from Le prophète, 'Parto, parto' from La clemenza di Tito, and the duet with Caruso ('Ai nostri monti') from Il trovatore."
