Red velvet chemise with original, signed photograph (15/25 / 10 x 7), both housed in red velvet slipcase. Known for his iconic photographs using miniature figures and toys this volume echoes Edward Hopper paintings and urban life in for Levinthal typical "dreamlike" settings. Ever the strategist, David Levinthal risks seeming idiotic, throwing off those who seek to understand him. He likes declaring, with innocent aplomb, how much "fun" it is to make art with toys. Some apologists play along, naively taking him at his word. Others seek to give his method the currently acceptable artistic cachet by grouping it with that of practitioners of goofy, postmodernist theatrics... We offer a broad selection of rare, out-of-print and antiquarian books with an emphasis on photography, architecture, art, Judaica, Bibles, Weimar Germany and the Third Reich, modernism, Olympic Games, erotica and foreign-language works, especially German, Hebrew, Polish and Yiddish.
