In John Baldessari’s new book, Yours in Food, the founding member of the conceptual art movement explores America at the table, savoring the nuances of breaking bread in carefully composed vignettes culled appropriated video and film. Reflections on food and eating specially commissioned from a smorgasbord of contemporary writers on culture and the arts, from novelist David Eggers to musician David Byrne, offer up the perfect accompaniment to Baldessari’s work. Paired with his images, these humorous, insightful, and, in some cases, bizarre meditations investigate one of the most fundamental and telling of all human experiences. A visual and intellectual feast, Yours in Food is sure to entertain and delight readers of fiction, art history, and cultural criticism and all lovers of food.”
John Baldessari: Yours in Food – With meditations on eating by Paul Auster, David Byrne, Dave Eggers, David Gilbert, Tim Griffin, Andy Grundberg, John O’Brien, Francine Prose, and Peter Schjeldahl

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.
