Period Cut Glass
The Art of Noise: Can Occupy Wall Street Shame Sotheby’s? (thepoliticker.observer)
Tobias Meyer, the fastidious German auctioneer at Sotheby’s, stood at the
podium in the beige auction room two weeks ago, sweating gently in an
uncreased suit and violet collar. Sotheby’s had a strong lineup of 73 lots,
including four paintings from the “triumphant period” of Clyfford Still, an
early proponent of Abstract Expressionism. But the Dow was down three points,
the Italian prime minister had just announced his resignation over economic
turmoil, and there was a mob of about 150 protesters outside the auction
house’s glass facade, heckling the buyers and collectors on their way in.
“Shame on you! Go home!” protesters shouted as the likes of Eli Broad, Larry
Gagosian and Jose Mugrabi scurried past the picket line before being sucked
through the revolving door into the marble vacuum of the auction house. A
small brass band outside Sotheby’s pumped out a zippy rendition of “When the
Saints Go Marching In” as a pair of girls clapped and two-stepped on the
sidewalk. An older gentleman leaned over the metal barricades placed by the
police and gave a zealous thumbs-down. “Boooo!” he taunted, then turned to
_Gallerist_. “This is fun, isn’t it?”
The protesters were picketing …

Waiting Period $4.63 In this highly polished and slightly twisted moral tale, a man pulls back from the brink of suicide when his application to buy a gun with which to shoot himself is delayed. Instead of throwing his life away, he decides to spend all his time and effort disposing of those who he feels deserve to die. Targeting a bureaucrat in the Veterans’ Administration, he devises an ingenious method of murdering people without trace. With a renewed zest for living he embarks on a joyful killing spreeI> Hubert Selby Jr. was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1928. After a career in the merchant marine cut short by illness, he achieved international recognition for his acclaimed cult classic, "Last Exit to Brooklyn."

The Rich Cut Glass of Charles Guernsey Tuthill $22.78 The American brilliant cut glass tradition is perhaps nowhere better showcased than in the intricate art of Charles Guernsey Tuthill. Born in 1871 in Corning, New York, Tuthill entered the glass trade as a young apprentice, launching a career that would not only produce some of the finest cut glass in America but also innovate that art form in ways that adapted to the changing life of the new century. In this detailed narrative of the business Tuthill founded, the patterns he created, the techniques he used, and the other artisans and consumers he knew, Maurice Crofford has written the story of an earlier, more elegant and leisurely era. For those knowledgeable about cut glass, the development of the forms will be instructive; for others, who simply appreciate the beauty of the glass, the numerous black and white photographs will appeal. Beyond both of those dimensions, however, Crofford provides insight into how industrialization and mass production and, more especially, the automobile, changed forever the ways upper-class Americans lived, entertained, and displayed their good fortune. In Tuthill’s career, moreover, Crofford finds an example of American ingenuity and creative genius that responded to changing times. The glass itself is of extraordinary beauty, and the descriptions here include the patterns, effects sought, and methods of hand production. Crofford details not only those patterns best known to aficionados of American cut glass of the Brilliant Period but also other patterns retrieved through exhaustive dogging of Tuthill’s trail. Through the written records of Tuthill’s succession of businesses and through interviews with surviving members of the Tuthill family,Crofford has reconstructed a remarkably detailed catalog of this master craftsman’s work as well as an engaging story of his life and career. |

Period $12.5 The stunning conclusion to Dennis Cooper’s five-book cycle, Period earned its author the accolade "a disquieting genius" by Vanity Fair and praise for his "elegant prose and literary lawlessness" by The New York Times. The culmination of Cooper’s explorations into sex and death, youth culture, and the search for the ineffable object of desire, Period is a breathtaking, mesmerizing final statement to the five-book cycle it completes. Cooper has taken his familiar themes — strangely irresistible and interchangeable young men, passion that crosses into murder, the lure of drugs, the culpabilities of authorship, and the inexact, haunting communication of feeling — and melded them into a novel of flawless form and immense power. Set in a spare, smoke-and-mirror-filled world of secret Web sites, Goth bands, Satanism, pornography, and outsider art, Period is a literary disappearing act as mysterious as it is logical. Obsessive, beautiful, and darkly comic, Period is a stunning achievement from one of America’s finest writers. |
