Minor wear commensurate with age & medium; in otherwise very good overall vintage condition. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. RARE. More on Fiorucci: 'The New York City Fiorucci store is the stuff of cultural legend. Located in East Midtown and attracting everyone from Gloria Vanderbilt to Madonna, it was as much a place to experience culture and art during the height of the mid 70s and early 80s as it was a store – with everyone from Keith Haring to Andy Warhol hosting events at the location. Intrinsically linked to the glamorous days of disco, the brand was even name checked in Sister Sledge's “He’s The Greatest Dancer” alongside Gucci and Halston. Marc Jacobs skipped summer school to hang out there, Cher would often wonder in, Maripol designed the space. They had an advert featuring Divine. It was unquestionably cool. As much as they became a staple of New York culture, Fiorucci’s origins were in Italy – where Elio Fiorucci, the son of a shoe shop owner, began designing wellies in primary colors before officially founding the brand in 1967. The Fiorucci store made its way to New York in 1976 (a London store opened one year prior) and soon earned a reputation for a party-like atmosphere alongside daring fashion mixed with beauty products, vintage clothing, music and home décor. Here, following the sad news...

This unframed, signed, limited edition pigment print by world renown artist Ricardo Mazal exists in an edition of 30. Paper size is 35 inches h x 30 inches w with an image size of 26 inches h x 27 inches w. Born in Mexico City in 1950, Ricardo Mazal moved to Barcelona Spain in 1986, and since 1990 has lived and worked in New York City, as well as Santa Fe New Mexico. Mazal’s work explores the process of visual perception as it takes form in the human consciousness. His paintings depict the passage of time, not by illustrating events but by leaving their residue to dissipate in space like a still photograph of a speeding object blurred to abstraction. In the last decade he has been honored with ten individual museum exhibitions, including a retrospective at the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City and the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo (MARCO) in Monterrey. He has also shown at the Museo Nacional de Anthropologia, Mexico City and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.

Irving B Haynes FAIA (1927 – 2005) Painting on heavy paper Hand initialed recto and hand signed and dated verso Irving B Haynes FAIA (1927 – 2005) was an American architect and preservationist. He practiced architectural design in Pawtucket and Providence, Rhode Island from 1961 to 1994 and taught at the Rhode Island School of Design from 1973 to 2005. Irving Bogle Haynes was born on January 14, 1927, in Waterville, Maine. He was educated at Colby College before transferring to the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), graduating with a BFA in 1951 and a BS in architecture in 1954. He worked for architects Robinson, Green & Beretta from 1954 to 1957 and for Harkness & Geddes from 1957 to 1958 before joining the Pawtucket firm of Monahan, Meikle & Johnson. After the retirements of Monahan and Meikle, in 1961 Haynes became a partner in the reorganized Johnson & Haynes. When Johnson retired from practice in 1968 Haynes succeeded to the business, and moved it to Providence in 1970. The business was reorganized as Irving B. Haynes & Associates in 1978 with the addition of Cornelis de Boer, and as Haynes/de Boer Associates in 1994 when Haynes retired from practice. A former professor at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Haynes was a true renaissance man: war veteran, architect, talented athlete, photographer and jazz pianist. He then went on to have a distinguished career as a painter and architect for nearly half a century. Painting, however, was Haynes’ true passion. A confirmed “modernist", he utilized a variety of media on paper -- crayon, wax, watercolor, oil painting and acrylic -- to manipulate light, texture, shape and line. He was especially renowned for his skillful use of color. They have a densequilt like color field, cubist feel to them. His friend and colleague at RISD, Thomas Lyon Mills, told the Brown Daily Herald, “Irving admired other painters whose idealistic search for precision often was a difficult one...He loved Paul Cezanne...Cezanne’s color and rock-solid compositions that were at once flat and spatial.” In 2005, just a few months after his death, RISD’s Industrial Design Department Gallery hosted an exhibition of his most recent works called “Irving B. Haynes: Paintings, 2001-2005”. In 2009 the Newport Art Museum held another retrospective titled "Irving B. Haynes, Abstractions: 1960-2005". Examples of his work are in the permanent collections of the Newport Art Museum and the RISD Art Museum. Haynes became known both as an architect and preservationist early in his career. In the 1960s he was responsible for some of the most outstanding new works in urban renewal areas in Pawtucket and Providence and was responsible for the reconstruction and restoration of the First Unitarian Church of Providence following a devastating fire. Later he restored Providence City Hall and the Westminster Arcade and in 1981, along with William D. Warner and Friedrich St. Florian, Haynes devised the original scheme for Waterplace Park, later executed by Warner. Haynes joined the American Institute of Architects in 1962 and was elected a Fellow in 1982. In 1973 Haynes joined the RISD faculty, teaching foundation studies. In 1980 he was promoted to assistant professor and after his retirement from practice focused on his teaching. He became a full professor in 1997 and retired in 2005, shortly before his death. RISD is one of the great art campuses and has produced Famous Artists and Designers such as Shepard Fairey, Kara Walker, Jenny Holzer, Dale Chihuly, Do-Ho Suh , Tavares Strachan and Rose B. Simpson. Notable Faculty have include Diane Arbus, Jennifer Packer...

DE ST JORRE, John [201] pp. Legendary Publishing & Media Group, Inc. Published for the members of The Links Limited Edition 2017 12"H x 9 1/2"W Illustrated from photographs by C. J. Walker The Links is a private club in New York City. It is located at 36 East 62nd Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. Charles B. Macdonald, a golf champion and founder of the United States Golf Association, started the Links in 1917 as a place where powerful members of the golf world could keep the true spirit of the game alive. The club was established in 1916-1917 by Charles B. Macdonald, in a building designed in the Georgian Revival architectural style by Cross & Cross. In the 1960s, it was "a preferred social gathering spot for America's most powerful chief executives." By 2010, it was still a "preserve of the old banking elite", but not all members were WASPs. While ostensibly a book about the club’s spectacular collection of artwork, the book also gives a fuller history than the smaller 2004 book. It begins with the story of how the adjacent townhouse blew up in spectacular fashion in 2006, damaging The Links. While tragic, it was also an opportunity for the club to refurbish. Among other things discovered during the repairs the club undertook were original hardwood floors that had been covered by carpets for decades and bookshelves hidden behind wood panels in the Sir Christopher Wren Room (which serves as the club’s library). The history also discusses the creation of a new wine room where members hold intimate private dinners. Many of the pictures and paintings among the art collection at The Links are not golf related. Many are nautically themed, including those of Commodore Robert Field...
