About the Item

SPECTOR, Nancy [522] pp. The Guggenheim Museum 2002 12 5/8" x 9 1/4" Guggenheim Museum Publications. Distributed by Harry N. Abrams, New York, 2002. Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Gray silk cover with debossed imagery on front and back covers, title stamped in silver and gray on spine, with printed acetate dust jacket. Photographs and stills by Matthew Barney. Text by Nancy Spector. Glossary by Neville Wakefield. Includes personal perspectives from people involved with the films, film credits, an exhibition history, bibliography and a screening history. 524 pp., with hundreds of color reproductions and numerous color reference illustrations, extraordinarily well-printed by Dr. Cantz'sche Druckerei, Ostfildern-Ruit. 12-3/4 x 9-1/4 inches. Published on the occasion of the 2002 exhibition Matthew Barney: The Cremaster Cycle, organized by Nancy Spector, at Museum Ludwig, Cologne (also traveled to Paris and New York). Fine in Near Fine dust jacket (light crinkle at lower front fold, else Fine). This catalogue documents Matthew Barney's eight-year Cremaster project. Beginning with work from before the Cremaster films, Nancy Spector's text (accompanied by dozens of illustrations), establishes the importance of Barney's five films, not only grappling with his rigorous sexual logic, but delving into the roles geography, identity and form serve in his film--and ultimately, art--cycle. Although the Cremaster cycle was made out of order (4, 1, 5, 2, 3), the book is organized numerically, featuring stills, details and plans for films 1 through 5. A necessary comprehensive volume for anyone interested in Barney's work.

After the war the Trees packed up the “country house” contents of the manor and moved it to New York, where they lived until the contents were sold at this auction. A wonderful auction of “country manor” furnishings and decorations. Churchill smoked and drank in these chairs... While involved with Huston and married to FitzGerald, Marietta began an affair with Ronald Tree, who was a grandson of retail magnate Marshall Field and MP for Harborough, Leicestershire. Tree and Peabody divorced their spouses at the end of World War II and married on July 26, 1947. Marietta moved into Tree's home, Ditchley Park, but found herself bored with English country life. Tree and most of his friends were Conservatives, and Democrat Marietta again found herself politically isolated. Their daughter Penelope was born in 1949. Short of money, Tree sold Ditchley and agreed to return to New York City with Marietta, her daughter Frances Fitzgerald and their own daughter, future '60s fashion model Penelope Tree...
