Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Unique. Loose mounts. Paperworks was the name of Ely's d/b/a before he moved to NYC. This set of photos, from rather early in Ely's career, has been in his ex-wife's private collection until now. Timothy C. Ely is a renowned and enigmatic figure in the book world. His one-of-a-kind manuscript books combine elaborate and often mysterious painted and drawn folios contained within finely crafted bindings, most of which are original designs or variations on traditional binding techniques. Each book carries layers of both materials and meaning. Each drawing and element elicit revelations, personal to each viewer. "For the last forty years, his books and other works have sprung from a central core of concepts, owing to a fascination with obscure or seemingly incomprehensible forms inspired by science and other projections from the history of the human imagination. This spectrum of inspiration includes such things as fractured and whole grids, cypher systems, landforms and landscapes as viewed from a satellite, and the archeological overlay of some of these sites, especially those containing libraries. Originally, the atlas format provided a platform for the rendering of his complex maps, which gradually gave way to an expanded psychological viewpoint of a larger universal scheme. Much of Ely's work is richly annotated with his own glyphs he calls "cribriform." While they are made up of a finite set of marks, they take on many different "meanings" depending on the tool with which they are drawn. He has written and spoken often about the roots and evolution of these drawings. Gestural in their formation, these trailings evoke a sense of language and meaningful discourse. Though suggestive, they never yield up a firm translation." [A. Schoolman]. Minor shelf/edge wear, cloth on box shows some bubbling, else bright and clean. Black cloth archival box with cutout/inlayed b/w photograph; seven handmade paper covered mount boards, each with inlaid b/w photograph. 11x13.5" Illus. (b/w plates).…
