London Scene – J. Suess, G. Dommermuth & H. Maier - 1st Edition, 1968

About the Item

First edition, published by Büchergilde Gutenberg, Frankfurt, 1968-1969. Text in German. From the same creators as ‘Beat in Liverpool’, this incredibly scarce first edition of London Scene, made by German visitors to the city, documents with hundreds of black and white photographs, graphics and writing the youth culture of London in the late 1960s. Capturing the environment, the fashion, and day-to-day life, this is a visual bible of the universal ‘cool’ that London created. Mary Quant mini dresses, Yoko Ono, hippie rebellion and performance art; ‘London Scene’ has it all. Hardback in publisher’s original dust jacket, copious black and white illustrations throughout, text in German.

    Located in valatie, NY
    Contemporary Art Afternoon May 16, 2007 Sotheby's. Published by Sotheby's, NY, 2007. 1st Ed softcover auction catalogue. The Rockefeller name worked its magic at Sotheby’s sale of contemporary art, where a mysterious bearded collector in a skybox outbid five other contenders for Rothko’s “White Center (Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose).” The $72.8 million he paid, far above the painting’s $40 million estimate, set records for both the artist and for any contemporary work at auction. Sotheby’s declined to say who the buyer was or where he was from. But the seller was David Rockefeller, the retired banker and chairman emeritus of the Museum of Modern Art, who had decided to cash in on the market and invest the money in other philanthropic endeavors. Seasoned auction goers noticed that last night rubles appeared for the first time on the salesroom’s currency board, along with dollars, euros, pounds and Swiss...
