ALCHEMY: The Art of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne By Evan Lobel
About the Item
Alchemy: The Art of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne written by gallerist Evan Lobel, reveals for the
first time the astonishing breadth and depth of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne's artistic practice,
which ranges from avant-garde furniture to sculpture and painting. As a father and son artist
team, the LaVernes’ collaboration resulted in hundreds of unique and complex works,
incorporating historical references of past civilizations and art historical motifs with
modernist design principles. Alchemy: The Art of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne is a
comprehensive testament to the importance of these artist-designers who brought history,
craftsmanship, and innovation into conversation with functional design and art.
In writing the book with Kelvin LaVerne, Lobel provides unparalleled insight
into the method and history of the duo and introduces a bounty of beautiful and neverbefore-
seen images and commentary. This is, and will continue to be, the authoritative
account of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne’s esteemed place in the history of 20th-century art and
design.

Ahoy Sailor!
By Daniel Rozensztroch
Located in New York, NY
Ahoy Sailor! offers the reader another mesmerizing foray into the mind of uber collector and archivist of the everyday, Daniel Rozensztroch. We are transported across the ocean, from port to port, as Ahoy Sailor! gathers and presents a singular collection of objects, images, and representations of sailors and seamen. The ocean has inspired an expansive world of vernacular and popular imagery, much of it uncanny and unique, produced by the tension between the laws of nature that rule the oceans and the miniature floating societies left to their mercy. Adventures, secret ritual, solitude, and comradery are all given their place. Meticulously drawn together, and with an individuality that has become his trademark, Rozensztroch gives the reader a visual feast that ranges from antique toys and postage stamps to French artist Jean Cocteau’s beguiling sketches found in Jean Genet’s cult-classic Querelle de Brest.
DANIEL ROZENSZTROCH was a longtime consultant to the magazine Marie-Claire Maison and is the former creative director of Merci in Paris, France. He is also the co-author of a number of titles in the Style Series published by Clarkson N. Potter / Random House. For Pointed Leaf Press...
