Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Coined by the Belgian statistician Adolphe Quetelet in 1835, the term "average man" evokes both contentment and anxiety. In some sense an inverted history of the genius, the story of the average has had a formative influence on modern aesthetics, politics and philosophy. For the artist, to be mediocre is a greater fault than to have failed spectacularly. For the politician, the battle for the heart of the average Joe determines both message and mode of address. For the philosopher, the consideration of everyday life and the ordinary demands a redefinition of philosophy itself. Edited with Paul Fleming (German Department, New York University), this issue features Francis Galton's late nineteenth-century composite photographs of criminals; a compilation of political paeans to the common man; an interview with German scholar Juergen Link on the reign of normalcy; the postwar search in the U.S. for the perfect Norm and Norma; actuarial tables, risk management, and the insurance industry; and Frances Richard on Diderot's analysis of hack painting. The issue also includes Matthew Klam on the color purple and art projects by Jason Salavon, Aleksandra Mir, Pedro Reyes and more.

23 pp.; 41.9 x 29.6 cm.; staple bound; black-and-white & color; edition size 10000; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed Biography of Zoe Stillpass, the daughter of art collectors, as told through photographs, ephemera, and an interview between Aleksandra Mir and Zoe''s mother Karen Stillpass. Commissioned by Polly Staple, edited by Mir and Staple. "I think I have found the subject for the next Biography. Her name is Zoe Stillpass and she is an art collector''s daughter. On the outset, being an only child, a popular and attractive honor student, the subject of numerous art commissions, traveling around the world, hers is a life of privilege dramatically different from Donald Cappy''s. Yet strangely, I get the feeling Zoe is also essentially formed by forces beyond her reach I wanted to suggest that you come with me to meet her parents, Karen and Andy. I''ve known them for quite some time already and I know they would love to talk and have us visit. Zoe left her family home for college a year ago and is now doing an internship at the film festival in Cannes, so she won''t be there. I think it would be interesting to completely exclude her voice and let Karen and Andy speak for her, creating a phantom of parental dreams and desires, mixed with the factual creation of their daughter and the circumstances of her life." -- Aleksandra Mir Very Good. Light bumping of corners and edges with additional light rubbing of recto edges. Contents clean and unmarked. Due to large size of this publication additional shipping charges will be required for international orders. …

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
