Mirtha Dermisache. Diario No.1
1975 Anvers, Guy Schraenen éditeur, 8p. 26:47 cm., third edition of this newspaper inspired work, first edition to be published in Europe, one of 300 copies signed by the artist.
Artists’ book issued in folio size newspaper format. Mirtha Dermisache features here a particular style of asemic writing without grammar or syntax. She herself coined for her abstract writing the name graphisms. They have no informational remit, but preserve in this case the typotecture of the newspaper.
A powerful example of the écriture of Argentinian artist Mirtha Dermisache. Well preserved copy, no folds!

Willem (Bernard Willem Holtrop). Zelfportret.
Cartoon bijdrage ‘Het moderne gezin’ in het tijdschrift ‘Bijster’ nummer 5 (1969 Amsterdam, De Bezige Bij) met hilarisch zelfportretje in inkt, meer dan 40 jaar later (2012) toegevoegd, waarmee de cartoonist de confrontatie met genoemd werk treffend in beeld brengt.

Ira Cohen (and others). Gnaoua. Number one.
Spring 1964 Tangier (=Antwerp…) No further issues were published.
With contributions by William Burroughs, Ian Summerville, Brion Gysin, Harold Norse, Allen Ginsberg, Michael McClure, J. Sheeper, Jack Smith, Marc Schleifer, Mohammed Ben Abdullah Yussifi, J. Weir, Stuart Gordon, Tatiana, and Alfred Jarry. Edited and published by Ira Cohen.
The Antwerp Publisher ‘Ontwikkeling’ took care of printing and distribution of this legendary underground magazine. A copy of Gnaoua is to be seen in Daniel Kramer’s photograph on the front cover of Bob Dylan’s record sleeve ‘Bringing it all back home’ (1965). Look for it on the mantelpiece!
This is the second edition (not stated) of Gnaoua that was printed in June 1964 and differs only from the first (April 1964) in two small text corrections on pages 87 and 101.
Excellent copy in mint condition.
