1931 The Waves
By Virginia Woolf
Located in Bath, GB
A nice first edition copy of this experimental novel by Virginia Woolf, one of her most puzzling publications, here in the original beautifully designed dust wrapper by Vanessa Bell.
The first edition, first impression of this work.
In the original Vanessa Bell designed unclipped dust wrapper.
One of the experimental novels of Virginia Woolf, following six narrators from childhood to adulthood through a series of soliloquies, ruminating on the concepts of individuality, self, and community.
Readers can see some of Woolf's friends in her characters in this novel; in particular E. M. Forster in the writer Bernard, T. S. Eliot in the outsider Louis, Lytton Strachey in Neville, Mary Hutchinson in the socialite Jinny, Vanessa Bell, in the fleeing Susan, and Thoby Stephen in the flawed and never narrator Percival.
Written by the Bloomsbury author Virginia Woolf, a central figure of the literary group, herself known for her experimental writings and affair with fellow author Vita Sackville-West.

Sarah Lucas: Exhibitions And Catalogue Raisonne 1989-2005 1st Edition 2005
Located in CA, CA
Yilmaz Dziewior, Kunstverein in Hamburg, Beatrix Ruf, Kunsthalle Zürich, Sadie Coles and Martin Prinzhorn, 2005Publisher: Hatje Cantz
This monograph features an extensive overview of the unusual photographs, sculptures and installations by Sarah Lucas, which often appear raw and aggressive. In her works, the artist frequently unmasks the chauvinism of slang. Even though it might seem acceptable to describe a young woman as a "chick", Lucas's provocative work entitled Chicken Knickers, however, reveals hidden associations and, with true dry British humour, irrevocably strips the expression of any cuteness. Another significant element of Lucas's oeuvre are her androgynous self-portraits, in which the artists, with challenging gaze and a cigarette dangling from her lips, undermines the cool male pose she often adopts by using accessories...
