Ikat, Silks of Central Asia, the Guido Goldman Collection, 1997
Located in San Francisco, CA
Abr-bandi, the central asian name for the ikat technique, derives from the Persian word abr which means "cloud". The ikat style is not limited to Central Asia, but nowhere have the ikat designs known as abr, or the technique itself proved so enduring or so gloriously inventive as in the ancient centers of Uzbek and Tadjik handicrafts- Bukhara, Samrkand and the towns of the Ferghana Valley. The craftsmanship of the abr masters, the abr bandchi, was their patrimony; their secrets and their repertoire of designs were handed down through the generations. Yet this art form has always been responsive to change and receptive to new weaving methods created to simplify the process without sacrifice of artistry. In the nineteenth century abr designs were used to decorate fabrics made into winter and summer...

Softbound Program, 1966 Man Ray Los Angeles County Museum of Art Exhibition
By Man Ray
Located in San Diego, CA
A nice softbound program from Man Ray"s 1966 exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Ray was a key figure of Dada and Surrealism, one of the few Americans associated with either movement. Born Emmanuel Radnitzky, the artist adopted his pseudonym in 1909 and—while he also worked across painting, sculpture, video, and printmaking—became renowned for his striking, sensual black-and-white photographs. A number of his portraits—such as Larmes (Tears) (ca. 1932), which features a woman “crying...

VISIONAIRE 34: Paris Hedi Slimane for Dior Homme (0822/6000) (shrink wrapped)

Located in Kleinburg, ON
From the Visionaire website: Curated by Hedi Slimane, former design director of Dior Homme, 34 PARIS is in many ways a reaction to our tendency toward the baroque – one that we had just fully indulged in the previous issue, 33 TOUCH. The issue is a testament to Hedi’s reductionist aesthetic and an exploration of a burgeoning new movement: art that has its base in architecture. To this end, architect Greg Lynn designed a lacquered gray monolith with an interior topography engineered to hold the bound book as though suspended in space. Contributors include architects Neil Denari, Andreas Angelidakis, and Dominique Perrault; video artist Chris Cunningham...
