Ed Ruscha live in conversation at the New York Public Library

Posted on April 18, 2013 at 12:24 0 Comments

Ed Ruscha's work has profoundly influenced countless modern artists, but his artist books - such as Twentysix Gasoline Stations, Every Building on the Sunset Strip, Thirtyfour Parking Lots in Los Angeles, and A Few Palm Trees - offer a unique opportunity to trace that influence directly to the near and far corners of the modern art world. For decades, a broad spectrum of artists have produced their own small books revisiting, rebelling against, and responding to the…

By Carol Vogel (The New York Times)

The artist Ed Ruscha stood in Gagosian Gallery in New York City, surrounded by paintings of books he has created over many decades. There were canvases that mimicked old tomes he found in flea markets and secondhand shops, and paintings of marbleized endpapers. There were renderings of open books more than…

The Casanatense Library was founded by the Dominicans of the Monastery of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome and opened to the general public, according to the will of Cardinal Girolamo Casanate.
In order to contain the Library collection the Friars built a new architectural structure in the area of the monastery cloister. The Salone (hall) was probably designed by the well-known Roman architect Carlo Fontana, but it was finally realised by Antonio Maria Borioni. The Library was already opened on November 3rd, 1701, only one year after Cardinal Casanate's death. The first nucleum of the Library was The Library was linked to the most important european book commerce centres, and it was both interested in modern production and antique books, with the aim of being an encyclopaedic library. The acquisitions regarded not only the traditional religious and theological arguments, but also the roman law, economy, and history of the city of Rome. It excelled among the roman libraries both for the bright policy of acquisitions and for the expert bibliotheconomical and catalographical activity, mainly due to the figure of Father Audiffredi (1714-1794).In 1873 the Italian Government extended to Rome the law on the suppression of religious houses. According to that law, the legal title of the Casanatense was forfeited to the State. The Dominicans started legal proceedings against the Italian Government, which lasted till 1884, when they finally lost the property of the Library forever.

HI Robert!  Thanks for that comment.  I'm just not sure how to add a photo to an event.  I've added the Blarney card to the profile, but I'm not sure if that's what you're requesting.

Cheers, Jo.

Hello Robert,

I'm the 'founder' of Nordic Book Arts (www.nordicbookarts.ning.com) and would like to ask if it would be possible to have the site added to your list 'Other related NING sites:'?

I would very much appreciate it if you could, Thank you!

I work with the Doverodde Book Arts Center & Festival in Denmark, and we are just trying to spread the word that we are out there (-:

Kind regards and best wishes for the New Year,

Mette-Sofie D. Ambeck

Hello Robert, am having a bit of trouble uploading a photo onto my profile.
Sarah Bodman tried to help but to no avail, so she suggested that I contact you.
The image is a jpg. 584kb from a folder.
Sorry that I have not been very involved in your wonderful website, but I have now finished 2nd year fine arts at Griffith in Queensland , so I will be able to be a bit more active.
I really appreciate what you have set up, it is wonderful.
Warmest regards,
Christopher Hardwick
