Add to basketreliure spirale plastique, emb. Condition: Très bon. EDITION ORIGINALE de cet abécédaire d'artiste. Le livre est composé de la couverture, la page de titre et de 25 feuillets noirs ou blancs de tailles différentes, certains ajourés, formant par superposition ou juxtaposition les vingt-six lettres de l'alphabet. Tirage non précis…é, celui-ci portant le tampon de l'artiste en titre et sur l'emboîtage. ------ Thomas Ockerse est né en Indes néerlandaises en 1940. Il s'installe avec sa famille en 1957 aux Etats-Unis où il étudie à l'université d'état d'Ohio, puis à Yale en 1965. Il devient en 1967 enseignant à l'Université d'Indiana, puis à la Rhode Island School of Design dont il dirige à partir de 1971 le département graphisme. Ockerse est à l'initiative du programme de Master of Fine Art du RISD jusqu'en 2004. En marge de son travail universitaire Ockerse développe des recherches personnelles, s'intéressant particulièrement à la poésie concrète. C'est en 1964, durant ses étude à Yale qu'il conçoit THE A-Z BOOK. En 1969, le MoMA souhaite le publier mais devant le coût et la difficulté de fabrication, le musée renonce. Françoise Boas qui dirige alors Color-craft Lithographers Inc. et qui avait fait le devis pour le Moma reprend le projet à son compte, prévoyant un tirage à 2000 exemplaires. Mais là encore le montage de l'ouvrage demandait un tel temps de travail que peu d'exemplaires furent assemblés. A la fermeture de l'imprimerie en 1974, l'artiste récupère les invendus, environs sept cents exemplaires dont un bon nombre endommagés, et il détruit les pages isolées. Il en vend alors lui-même un peu, revêtus du tampon Tom Ockerse editions. THE A-Z BOOK est à l'image des recherches artistiques de Tom Ockerse, et de sa participation à Fluxus. Elles sont stimulées par ses expériences de poésie visuelle, ce qu'il appelait «les équations des mots et des images». Bien qu'abécédaire, son livre s'inscrit par son jeu combinatoire de transformations typographique dans la lignée des livres d'artiste, exemple parfait du Concrete Book, terme Ockerse inventât pour son cours " Le Livre comme expérience nécessaire" à la RISD.

Contact seller2-star sellerLoose leaves in a box. Condition: Used. Just one year after The A-Z Book, young Thomas Ockerse published this one as a young professor at Indiana University. A magnificent showcase of concrete poetry and graphic puns. Presented as a portfolio of fifty loose leaves printed via silkscreen (by Ockerse) and offset, the whole is wild…ly imaginative. It comes with a five-page introduction and checklist by the Danish poet and artist Vagn Steen. A fun and beautiful thing. RARE. Watch a flip-through of the whole thing » The contents are fine. The chipboard box is solid as a rock but shows minor soiling as is likely to happen when something is 55-years-old and covered in white paper. 907.

Contact seller2-star sellerPlastic comb binding in a box. Condition: Used. Before there was Kelli Anderson's Alphabet in Motion, there was Thomas Ockerse's A-Z Book. Although more modest in aim and scope than Kelli's stunner, it is itself moving in its simplicity, playfulness, and silliness. In showing each of our twenty-six caps in the form of a pop-up b…ook (although nothing actually pops up), Ockerse features forms both stately and ridiculous. It's fun to see how he gets from A to Z by taking the least obvious route possible. Every film must have a beginning, a middle, and an end-but as the legendary director Jean-Luc Godard famously quipped, "not necessarily in that order." The same is true of an alphabet book, and here Ockerse has taken full advantage of that notion. A lovely thing. Watch a flip-through of the whole thing » The book itself is near fine and inscribed by Ockerse to designers Michael [McPherson] and Mary Anne [Frye] who both taught alongside him at RISD. The box shows very minor wear. 907.
