Scope and Contents OUT IS IN was a review written by N.F. Karlins for ArtNet on the internet: "Good news! The Outsider Art Fair, Jan. 9-11, 2009, generated positive buzz and good sales in its 17th annual outing. My other favorite new artist is very much alive and producing new works like mad. This remarkable young man, Andrew Blythe of New Zealand, makes drawings mostly in black and white acrylic. The Stuart Shepherd Gallery had several beauties, including one using "x" and "No" as repeated motifs. Blythe's sophisticated, syncopated patterns are complex and totally satisfying. His layering of paint made me think of Franz Kline with his remarkable interweaving of white and black that leave the viewer unable to tease out which was put down first. Blythe's drawings were priced from $900 to $1,200, which I consider incredibly cheap." The drawing mentioned by Karlins was purchased by the Sackners.

Novas Selected Writings [Edited and with an introduction by Antonio Sergio Bessa and Odile Cisneros; Forward by Doland Greene], 2007

 Item
Identifier: CC-49157-70197
Scope and Contents Amazzon.com: This is the first full-scale English translation of one of Brazil's-and the world's-most influential avant-garde literary voices. A generous introduction to one of the key literary figures to emerge from Brazil in the second half of the twentieth century, this book offers English-speaking readers an ample selection of this prodigious writer's celebrated poetry and widely influential critical work. As a poet and as a cofounder of the renowned group Noigandres, Haroldo de Campos has made a unique and substantial contribution to the theory and practice of experimental writing, particularly the form known as concrete poetry, and to the Latin American avant-garde as a whole. These contributions, acclaimed worldwide by figures such as Umberto Eco, Jacques Derrida, Octavio Paz, and Guillermo Cabrera Infante, can be observed unfolding here, first in poetry selections ranging from de Campos' early work before concretism through his most recent production; then in theoretical...
