FIRSTLY TWO NEW EDITIONS FROM SHOW AND TELL:


In the Wire magazine of January 2010 Kommissar Hjuler und Mama Baer were
ranked as one of the 15 most important practitioners of outsider art. 

We are proud to have been the first ever gallery to exhibit the German duo
and to have worked with them since 2006. We hope to put on another
exhibition of more recent work in April 2011 and also a Noise concert here
in Edinburgh at the same time. Details in a future mailing.

We are also very happy to have created the following editions with the
artists which are now available for purchase.

ONE OF 24 SIGNED AND NUMBERED DELUXE EDITIONS WITH ORIGINAL BROTKATZ
SCULPTURE, PHOTOGRAPHIC LABEL, PHOTOGRAPH, RICE AND AUDIO TAPE

Hjuler, Kommissar
BROTKATZE - blue - Sushi-Box
Edinburgh: Show & Tell Editions/Heart Fine Art, 2010
13.5 x 9 x 8.5cm, two part blue card box with an original photograph as
label (the Brotkatz "Ink Monks"); content of an original Brotkatz "Ink
Monk" sculpture (bread, salt, plastic, glue, rubber stamp impressions,
paint and card) each unique but numbered from a total production of 24
different works (each signed in red ink at the bottom by Kommissar Hjuler)
which is glued to the underside of the lid, a 13 x 9cm original photograph
of Heart Fine Art's very own "Yuri the Avant Guard Dog" (each numbered by
hand on the reverse) eating the original Brotkatz Ink Monks, a two-sided
blue audio cassette containing a recording of EXbroTkatzENDED (10m:41s) on
both sides of the tape and filled up with blue-dyed long grain dried rice.
The photographs are on Kodak Xtralife paper.
An ornate deluxe (Suschi!) box which extends Hjuler's fantasy world of the
"Brotkatz" (Breadcats) - now collectors can have their very own unique
religious bread cat to worship while listening to the "noise" tape of the
artist (who is also a working policeman in the German force) roughly
shout-singing the 'hymn' of the bread cat. Fine - of the 24 numbered
edition only 17 will be available for sale (7 are to be retained by the
artists and the publisher).


75 uk pounds each INCLUDING SHIPPING AND PACKING (NB this item is heavy
being over 0.56kg hence the relatively high shipping charge )



ONE OF 48 NUMBERED AUDIO TAPES WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC CASSETTE INSERT

Hjuler, Kommissar
EXbroTkatzENDED
Edinburgh: Show & Tell Editions/Heart Fine Art, 2010
Standard audio cassette (blue plastic in blue and transparent plastic jewel

photograph of a painting (on Kodak Xtralife paper) of an "Ink Monk"
Brotkatz which is numbered (on tipped on paper tape) from the total edition
of 48 copies. Only 38 copies of the tape will be available for sale (10 are

and wife. Each cover of the record is hand made and is an unique collage by
Kommissar Hjuler - with aspects taken from hard-core pornographic magazines
with the relevant male and female heads replaced by rubber stamp
impressions of the two artists. Each is one from a series of only 35 signed
and numbered records. Fine estate.

75 uk pounds


And we can offer other items by the artists including unique works, very
limited audio CDs (some with unusual cover artwork) and bookworks, prints
and emphemera. For a list please enquire.

**********************************

Here we present our last email list of the year. This list is made of in
the majority by items that are more commonly regarded by some as ephemera.
We are one of a small number of dealers who regard such 'ephemera' as
important documents of art history and some times as art works in
themselves. Heart Fine Art holds very large numbers of such items - some
very significant and rare, others less so. If you are seeking items
relating to any particular artist or genre please get in touch as we hold
many items not yet uploaded or documented on our website
(http://www.heartfineart.com). Because of other commitments only 300 or so
additional items were added to the website this month but our continuing
project to put our entire inventory up on the net will resume after this
email is sent out. That said there are 5250 active items to be seen each
with images and descriptions to consider. Recent additions to the site have
included French surrealist and dada books, items relating to 'pataphysique
and ephermera relating to artists with surnames beginning with A - B and a
few posters and prints by contemporary artists.

We hope that you have had a good year during 2010 despite the problems of
the recession and if you are celebrating the traditional festive holidays
we hope you enjoy your break when it comes. Thank you for all your support
in what has been a difficult year for all in the art world.

MERCI POUR LE FUSIL

(Dada)
EXCURSIONS ET VISITES DADA. PREMIERE VISITE. EGLISE SAINT JULIEN LE PAUVRE.
JEUDI 14 AVRIL.
Paris, s.p., 1921
27.5 x 22cm, 1pp. First edition of this document / programme which was
circulated upon a (first and only) public gathering of the Dadaists
promoted as a 'tourist visit' (Breton's idea of a public provocation - with
other later putative visits planned to the Louvre and Parisian forests).
Typographically interesting, the leaflet points out that the Dadaist
purpose of a 'guided tour' was intended to be much more political than the
usual bit of bourgeois history related by a guide. The participants on this
venture included Crotti, Breton, Eluard, Ribemont-Dessaignes, Peret,
Aragon, Tzara and Soupault amongst others (some of whom are listed in the
leaflet as 'guides' for the visit). However it rained and the turnout was
not as great as expected by the optimistic organisers. After various
manifesto statements and ad-lib performances, Breton declared: "All that
has happened up to now under the sign of Dada was just a sideshow"
indicating the split with the movement's principle figures (such as Tzara)
to come as Breton moved his personality centre-stage. The event was deemed
a failure and the other tours were suspended; soon after the Dadaists began
to bicker with Picabia and Breton leading differing factions. Ultimately
Breton's 'Literature' group formed the core of the surrealist group.  The
leaflet has a central text by Breton and short aphorisms in blue by Tzara.
Exceptionally rare and near fine with only flattened crease marks from a
previous folding into eighths and one tiny paper loss (less than 0.2mm) on
the left edge.

1,250 uk pounds (a much reduced price from that previously offered as we
now hold two examples of this rare item)

15.5 x 12.cm, 32pp plus 35 illustrated plates hors texte and original

another 1,000 in Enlgish) this was perhaps the last credible publication
released by the artist before he became money obsessed (driven by his wife)
and cruelly if accurately re-monikered 'Avida Dollars' by Breton who could
be scathing about commercial motives amongst the surrealists. Scarce
despite the relatively high limitation. Very good apart from a partially
opened split along the paper spine which could easily be reglued.

is somewhat perplexing in that it has signs of water damage in the book
(minor stains on wrappers and bizarrely one of the plates bound in hors
texte has been inserted in duplicate but the two pages (due to the type of
paper employed) have stuck together when the book was damp and there are
paper abrasions on the second duplicate page where the pages have been
taken apart - however this duplication by error means that the second
damaged page could easily be removed and no one would be the wiser (but we
never do this preferring to sell books in the state we found them and
allowing the purchaser to make these conservation decisions for
themselves). The laid in lithograph is fine and shows no damage whatsoever
other than some minor browning on one side that is hardly noticeable.
Priced to reflect condition.

Duchamp, Marcel (and Man Ray)
OBLIGATION MONTE CARLO. MONTE CARLO GAMBLING BOND.
Paris: 'Twentieth Century-XXe Siecle' 1938.
31.7 x 22.5cm, 1pp offset colour lithograph on cream wove paper - a
facsimile of the original 1924 bond issued by the artist as part of his
contention that he had devised as fool-proof (really a proof of fool)
scheme to win at roulette. Only eight original hand-made bonds were issued
to potential investors (all promised a 20% return on their investment of
500 francs) - the design being typically playful with a devilish Duchamp
(with horns and shaving foam beard) overseeing the roulette table. Two
thousand copies of this facsimile print were issued with nr 4 of the
journal 'Twentieth Century-XXe Siecle' but few have survived and this is a
rare item (here in very good + condition). Even the greatest modern artist
of all was fallible - the “system” was simply ill-judged and didn't work.

Duchamp's name spelled out in a row of large, brightly coloured letters

Hirst, Damien
AN INSTALLATION FOR AGONGO. AN OPERA WRITTEN BY DANIEL MOYNIHAN SET BY
DAMIEN HIRST.
Edinburgh: Demarco European Art Foundation, n.d. (1994)
21 x 13.5cm, black silkscreen on cloth as designed by Hirst with an
appropriated US civil war image of a young black slave girl smoking a pipe
and exposing her breasts. This is the very rare, sole documentation of an
early Hirst installation (not really the 'opera' of the title) which
consisted of a dark room into which the viewer entered unable to see much
other than shadows and the faint sounds of scurrying. As the lights slowly
came up a large cage was apparent: filled with pharmaceutical boxes and
live rats (which for many was a deeply disturbing experience and somewhat
unexpected). These small silkscreens were the hand-made promotional item
for the show and Hirst produced them himself. Around 500 were produced in
two variations of size and colour (blue on black and black on blue) and
most were used as the promotional flyer for the event and handed out in the
street. Very few can be assumed to have survived. In near fine condition.
We hold both variants in both colours.

JONATHAN MONK. TODAY IS JUST A COPY OF YESTERDAY (TEL AVIV)
Tel Aviv: Dvir Gallery, 2002
13.8 x 19cm, 2pp announcement card with two photographs by Monk reproduced
on the front - each taken from the same place one day apart. Monk more than
most contemporary artists realises that invite and other cards and ephemera
are part of the output of an artist and consistently creates nice relevant
works in this format.  In part this is because of his appreciation of 60s
and 70s conceptual art history where the announcement card first really
became a mainstream conscious medium (eg Weiner offering the invite card AS
the exhibition) but also in part because any conceptual work does not
(always) require a large canvas to be effective and powerful. Fine.

Rauschenberg, Robert
UNTITLED (APPROPRIATED FOIL BLOCKED PAPER AS OBJECT MULTIPLE)
NYC: Castelli, n.d. (c. 1984/5)
16 x 14cm, orange and silver foil overprinted handmade paper - an
appropriated object multiple handed out by the artist at his New York show
after he had announced his ROCI initiative - the Rauschenberg Overseas
Culture Interchange was a seven year plan to bring world art to the
cultural centres of contemporary art (NYC, London and the rest of Europe).
The Castelli exhibition of works had included fabric sculptures where
Rauchenberg had worked in silks from Mongolia, Mexican fabrics, etc and
these items (presumably obtained from a similar far-flung geographical
location) were available for guests to the opening to take away. Fine and
rather beautiful - each being unique in that the positioning of the colours
and the gold foil blocking was not exactly in registration on each sample
and also not consistent in the coverage of the ink. We hold three examples
- two printed orange over the silver and one a single silver square on the
white background paper where no overprinting took place. Very scarce and
fragile and lovely.

PRIVATELY PRINTED WITH A LENGTHY HAND WRITTEN NOTE BY SCHNEEMANN ON THE
REVERSE

Schneemann, Carolee
WISHE (sic) FOR MERRY CHRISTMAS OF FRIENDSHIP.....
London: s.p. (Schneemann and McCall), n.d. 1972
15 x 9cm, 1pp - privately printed postcard which was sent out by Anthony
McCall and Carolee Schneemann as a Xmas greeting. On the front (printed red
on white) is a specially posed photograph of the two lovers, totally naked
jumping from two chairs onto the floor. McCall has dropped a cat from waist
height and the feline is captured in the process of landing on all four
paws - Schneemann's famous cat Kitsch is luckier and is being held above
Carolee's head while she is in the process of landing on her two feet. In
the snap, McCall's male organ is being thrown back by gravity and it looks
like it will soon be in pain - which may be karma for the poor cat. On the
reverse in green ink is an extensive note from Schneemann to someone called
"Jan" regarding some order of a work and explaining the molding work for
the cover has delayed the production. It is signed and dated 24 Feb 72.
Several small pinholes near the bottom but hard to see. Early private
ephemera with an amusing image.

Segal, George, Dan Flavin, Don Judd, L. Poons, Richard Smith and Neil

GEORGE SEGAL: THE DRY CLEANING STORE DAN FLAVIN DON JUDD L. POONS RICHARD
SMITH NEIL WILLIAMS
NYC: Green Gallery, 1964
35 x 51cm, exhibition poster with an b/w image of the important three
dimensional, life size work by Segal displaying a woman in her store taking
orders for dry-cleaning and a text panel in the middle. A key work in pop
art which along with Oldenburg's early Shop works took day to day
often-unremarkable social interactions as the stuff of sculptural
innovation - a clear application of pop art principles stressing the
aesthetics of the everyday to the solid forms of artistically formed clay,
card, stone, plaster. A rare item but sadly here there is some water damage
to the bottom of the poster - although this is hard to see when opened out.
This is also a mailed and addressed example - priced to reflect this damage
else we would charge much more.

Shiomi, Mieko
BALANCE POEM ON THE CENTRIFUGAL LAND
Welling, Kent: Gemma Three, 1970
Two sheets of 1pp texts and one reproduced drawing creating together an
event score for two main performers and an audience and a balance
(preferably a stick on a pointed axis where various word blocks can be hung
on both sides). The text calls on words indicating weight such as “six
elephants” or “five tablets of sleeping pills” to be written on cards and
then compared to each other using a balance and then have the audience
members erase the texts while listening to transistor radios tuned to
different radio stations. More surreal than usual even for the scores
associated with Fluxus.  The original thin plastic wrapping and card cover
is still extant here although the edges of the plastic have been neatly
slit to allow the pages to be taken out and read. Rare. Limitation unknown.

96cm x 96cm unique trial print silkscreen with diamond dust on Lenox Museum
Board. Signed (often Smith did not usually sign his own work) bottom right

knowledge of Warhol's print techniques to produce this homage in the form
of pastiche. The colouring on this version is red blue and lilac and was
the only example in this colour combination. This work is also unusual in
that Smith did not usually sign his work. Fine estate.

A COMPLETE SET OF CARDS SIGNED BY WARHOL

Warhol, Andy
TEN PROMOTIONAL POSTCARDS FOR MICK JAGGER SUITE 
London: Seabird Editions, 1975
Ten separate cards - each 15.5 x 10.1cm, 2pp - and each with a different
full colour (offset) reproductions of each of the portraits of Jagger which
has been recently released as an editioned print from the pop artist. The
only printing on the back of each card is the number of the image from the
ten released ie “1”, “2” etc. bottom left. These cards have in the past
been glued down on a board - and there is still significant glued on paper
residue from where the cards were later removed  but these cards (while
mounted in such a manner) were signed vertically across two cards (nrs 4
and 9) in black thick felt tipped pen by Andy Warhol himself. Clearly it
would be better if the cards had not been mounted in such a manner but this
is far outweighed by the signature. We are offering these here at this
price unmounted but if we do not sell them then we will later reframe them
in a more conservational manner which will allow the signature to be easily
seen. A very scarce item which is made all the more rare by the signature
is priced as follows. Not a later (deceptive) reprint which can sometimes
be found but the original period promotional set.
