A Model of Order: Selected Letters on Poetry and Making , 2009

 Item
Identifier: CC-51614-72713
Scope and Contents Amazon.com "It doesn't greatly matter to me whether I'm using plants or trees or stones or words or events," the artist, poet and gardener Ian Hamilton Finlay (1925-2006) once told an interviewer; "the impulse is always to make a coherent order out of things." Through a carefully edited selection from a voluminous correspondence, A Model of Order tracks the unique arc of Finlay's development, from poet writing in Scots dialect, to Concrete poet, toymaker and deviser of poems and inscriptions in glass, wood and stone, installed in parks and gardens. The title derives from Finlay's famous definition of Concrete poetry as "a model of order, even if set in a space which is full of doubt," a definition conceived in correspondence with poet Pierre Garnier. Poet and editor Thomas A. Clark's selection of Finlay's letters-to Louis Zukofsky, Robert Creeley and Ernst Jandl among others-explicates a rigorous and moral vision of the act of making." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth...

Scope and Contents

Moss writes "I chose to do one of these 'step psalms', Psalm 134, in the actual form of steps. The short psalm reads: A song of Ascent / Behold, Bless God...I originally designed the letterforms I used in this work for a Ketubah. It was one in which I wanted to use the step motif...I suppose any spiritual journey is a kind of gradual, lifelong, step-like movement - ideally upward and forward but, alas, all too often with many downward and backward regressions." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

After the Freud Museum, 1995

 Item
Identifier: CC-39018-40955
Scope and Contents

The artist writes in an Afterward, "The title looks back on my recent experience of creating an installation at and for the Freud Museum and at the same time, it locates something else which is entirely distinct conceptually. What I think is positioned here is an extended and episodic view of my personal sense of inhabiting an historically-specific museum of culture with permeable boundaries...Probably artists function by simultaneously enacting the reciprocal roles of curator and subject, therapist and client; I've worked by collecting objects, orchestrating relationships, and inventing fluid taxonomies, while not excluding myself from them." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Alighiero e Boetti , 2011

 Item
Identifier: CC-54247-643135
Scope and Contents Amazon.com: "Alighiero e Boetti (1940-1994) has emerged as one of the most significant figures of postwar European art whose practice is having an unfolding impact on younger artists. His powerful influence can be attributed to the material diversity of his work, its conceptual ingenuity, and his political sensibility. His work, though usually associated with the Italian Arte Povera group and Conceptual Art, has never quite fit into these contexts. Boetti ceased making Arte Povera--type objects in 1969 after a few years of association with the group, and his later choice of materials (embroidery, calligraphy, mosaic, kilims) put a gulf between his work and that of most artists of the 1970s and 1980s."The author, Mark Godfrey, is a curator at Tate Modern in London and a former lecturer at the Slade School of Art, University College London.Boetti had an idiosyncratic style of working, and he often collaborated with or commissioned others to execute his ideas, including his celebrated...

It depicts a fighter plane of World War II vintage with a trail of smoke during combat. Angels, Bandits and Saints refers to nicknames of fighter aircraft during that period. Contrails is the condensation trail emitted by jet aircraft exhaust. Contrails form when hot humid air from jet exhaust mixes with environmental air of low vapor pressure and low temperature.
