“Born in Amsterdam in 1957, Ari Marcopoulos came to New York in 1979 and quickly became part of a downtown art scene that included Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Robert Mapplethorpe. Since then, Marcopoulos has become recognized as a leading documentarian of contemporary culture, having chronicled the emerging hip hop scene, shot snowboarders in action and revealed the vicissitudes of his family life. Marcopoulos always appears to have forged a strong connection with the people he photographs, whether celebrated figures-from Andy Warhol to Kiki Smith, John Cage to LL Cool J-or more obscure personalities, so that he captures, without sentimentality or voyeurism, the intimate sensation of their daily lives. His images are particular to a time and place, but reach out to us via familiar themes such as family and the longing for adventure. The first retrospective on Marcopoulos, Within Arm’s Reach collects work from three decades, and is supplemented with an essay by Stephanie Cannizzo”

Rare original folder published on the occasion of the Soviet exhibition at Pressa Cologne 1928. The exhibition showed graphic design, publishing and press material and El Lissitzky was in charge. His design for the exhibition brought together architecture, graphics, photography, film and sound. He combined photomurals, and letters of every thickness and type running in every direction, turning the Soviet pavilion into a vast multimedia installation. The present folder is a text only and Sergey Ingulov writes on the situation of the newspaper in the Soviet Union of 1928. Cover possibly by Solomon Telingater or maybe even El Lissitsky.
