First edition, limited to 3000 copies, published by PPP Editions, New York, 2002. Signed by Daido Moriyama at title page. “In 1971, Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama took a trip to New York City with Tadanori Yokoo. He stayed at the Chelsea Hotel and spent his days in The Museum of Modern Art Photography Study Center looking at pictures taken by Weegee. He shot 100 rolls of film with a half-frame camera, yielding 70 images per roll. Some of those pictures are presented here.” With hundreds of high quality black and white reproductions on heavy paper, and signed by Daido Moriyama at the title page, this classic photobook is immediately recognisable as Moriyama’s work, with his high-contrast, grainy and seemingly fleeting style. Including an interview with Moriyama, an essay by art writer and curator Neville Wakefield, and an appropriately chosen exact from James Baldwin’s Another Country, this is an involving record of Moriyama’s trip to a changing New York seen...

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...
