First Edition. First edition of this collaborative public art project consisting of forty paper placemats, each featuring a different photograph, illustration, or story having to do with the idea of "place." Contents include photographs by Michael Northrup and Lars Tunbjörk, illustrations by Paul Marlow and Leanne Shapton, and fiction by Amie Barrodale and Gilbert Sorrentino, among others. In 2004 and 2005, volunteers helped distribute copies of Paper Placemats to restaurants and diners across the United States, although as editor Jason Fulford recalls, "it was surprisingly hard to give them away as many businesses were skeptical of anything really being free" (Brooklyn Rail, June 2025). Paper Placemats would be reissued in 2007; copies of this first edition are uncommon. A fine example. Oblong volume, perfect-bound, measuring 9.75 x 13 inches: 40 leaves. Original glossy white wrappers lettered in black, corners rounded. Leaves printed recto only, many in color.…

Ephemera. Two examples each of three different designs, 13.5x17.5 inches, with the imperfections of handmade paper items (one of the ochre placemats has an edge piece missing). With a small explanatory card. Undated, but perhaps 1970s; from the collection of someone who traveled to Japan in that period.…

Ephemera. Condition: Near Fine. Charming collection of 78 pencil and ink sketches by German artist Gunther ("G.W.") Nentwich on vintage paper lace placemats. Mostly very skillful portraits, done in an assured, fluid hand dating from 1946-1952. A number of couples, groups and locations are depicted throughout the 78 pieces, including Schrafft's Bar (which used paper doilies in the 40s). These spontaneous profiles feel like they could have been executed by an employee or a frequent customer, documenting a personal landscape of faces encountered in post-war Manhattan. Fortuately though, they're all signed and we know that Nentwich was the talented artist behind them.…
