Item description from seller

A matte softcover book with French flaps. The title in metalic blue and in gray down a white spine. Pages: (6), 7-174, (1). Illustrated with both color and black-and-white images. "Thirty years after Bas Jan Ader failed to return from a solo crossing of the Atlantic, the interest in his work continues to grow. In less than ten years he created some thirty-five works of art in which falling, physical and emotional vulnerability and mortality are the central themes. Published to coincide with a retrospective exhibition, this thoroughly illustrated catalogue provides a much needed overview of these and other aspects of Ader's work. Also includes contributions by Tacita Dean, J rg Heiser and Erik Beenker, amongst others." Contents are as follows: Bas Jan Ader (1942-1975 missing at sea) : the man who wanted to look beyond the horizon / Erik Beenker -- Curb your romaniticism : Bas Jan Ader's slapstick / Jörg Heiser -- And he fell into the sea / Tacita Dean -- The works of Bas Jan Ader / Alexandra Blättler and Rein Wolfs -- In the film I silently elucidate everything concerning falling / Elbrig de Groot -- The notions of fall and rise were to be explored / Doede Hardeman. VG: Exlibray book. Sticker at the base of the spine. Stamps on front and back inside cover flaps. Sticker on last page. …

Our specialties include the Humanities, with an emphasis on Art, Architecture, Photography, Decorative Arts, History, as well as Periodicals related to those areas. We have very rare as well as fairly common titles. Current inventory is approximately 79,000 titles. We have about 1000' of backlog in our specialties numbering over 30,000 items (including 20,000+ smaller and ephemeral catalogues devoted to individual artist exhibitions). Current stock occupies over 2.3 miles of shelving. We are active buyers as well as very active sellers, and supply entire reference libraries as well as individual titles. We ship books almost everywhere, with the exception of China due to restrictions. Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.…
