New York: Anthology Editions, 2024.“In the third entry in his ongoing series, Blomerth opens a porthole on the life, experiments, & addictions of John C. Lilly – the man whose development of the isolation tank and ketamine-fueled dives into the nature of consciousness made him perhaps the most notorious researcher of the psychedelic era.

Timeless Mucha: The Magic of Line
AU$125.00 Read MoreAdd to cartTomoko Sato
New York: Mucha Foundation Publishing, 2025.“This volume reappraises the graphic work of Alphonse Mucha and explores its influence on graphic art since the 1960s. Published in conjunction with a touring exhibition in the US & Mexico, this volume surveys the development of Mucha’s style, synonymous with Art Nouveau. It explores how it was rediscovered by later generations of artists, becoming an artistic idiom for the Psychedelic Art of the 1960s and 1970s as well as a wide range of visual culture from the late 20th century to today. Coinciding with the opening of the new Mucha Museum in the baroque Savarin Palace in Prague, ‘Timeless Mucha’ is organised into three thematic sections: Inspirations for the Mucha Style, Le Style Mucha, and Art Nouveau and The Rebirth of the Mucha Style and Its Legacy. The first two sections focus on Mucha’s artistic development, examining the theoretical basis of MuchaÂ’s style–famously known as “le style Mucha” in fin-de-siecle Paris–and its context. Tracing the artist’s footsteps from his youth in Moravia through the 1890s, when he attained fame as a poster artist, the first section highlights a selection of works of art, crafts and books from his own collection. The third section explores visual links between Mucha’s artistic idiom and the styles developed by later generations of artists. While Mucha’s style continues to influence today’s visual culture, including fashion, animation movies and computer games, this catalogue also focuses on a philosophical aspect of Mucha’s legacy: the art of message-making.”

AU$200.00 Read MoreAdd to cartF.A.C.T. Book Committee
New York: Caught Looking, Inc., 1986.First edition, first printing, self published by the Feminist Anti-Censorship Taskforce Book Committee: Kate Ferguson Ellis, Nan D. Hunter, Beth Jaker, Barbara O’Dair, and Abby Tallmer. FACT formed as a group of feminists opposed to the anti-pornography ordinances written b Andrea Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon and in oppositions to the feminist group Women Against Pornography (WAP). Caught Looking is filled with images from 100 years of pornography accompanied by numerous essays providing a balanced view of feminism, pornography, and censorship exploring the questions: What is the role of sexually explicit language and images in women’s sexual arousal and pleasure? What role do images play in the control of women? How can the attempt to control women, which is at the heart of sexism, be most effectively subverted? Would violence diminish if violent images were removed from our culture? How can we incorporate our need for sexual speech and freedom of sexual expression into our feminist thinking and goals?
