Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Previously uncollected nonfiction pieces by Hollywood's ultimate It Girl about everything from fashion to tango to Jim Morrison and Nicholas Cage.With Eve's Hollywood Eve Babitz lit up the scene in 1974. The books that followed, among them Slow Days, Fast Company and Sex and Rage, have seduced generations of readers with their unfailing wit and impossible glamour. What is less well known is that Babitz was a working journalist for the better part of three decades, writing for the likes of Rolling Stone, Vogue, and Esquire, as well as for off-the-beaten-path periodicals like Wet- The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing and Francis Ford Coppola's short-lived City. Whether profiling Hollywood darlings, getting to the bottom of health crazes like yoga and acupuncture, remembering friends and lovers from her days hobnobbing with rock stars at the Troubadour and art stars at the Ferus Gallery, or writing about her beloved, misunderstood hometown, Los Angeles, Babitz approaches every assignment with an energy and verve that is all her own.I Used to Be Charming gathers nearly fifty pieces written between 1975 and 1997, including the full text of Babitz's wry book-length investigation into the pioneering lifestyle brand Fiorucci. The title essay, published here for the first time, recounts the accident that came close to killing her in 1996; it reveals an uncharacteristically vulnerable yet never less than utterly charming Babitz. All previously uncollected, these nonfiction pieces range from sharp personal essays on body image and the male gaze to playful meditations on everything from ballroom dancing to kissing to perfume.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st. xxv, 297 pages, [16] pages of plates, illustrations (chiefly colour); 25 cm. The Columbia Oral History Series. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A fine copy of the first printing. "Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) was a breaker of boundaries and a consummate collaborator. He used silk-screen prints to reflect on American promise and failure, melded sculpture and painting in works called combines, and collaborated with engineers and scientists to challenge our thinking about art. Through collaborations with John Cage, Merce Cunningham, and others, Rauschenberg bridged the music, dance, and visual-art worlds, inventing a new art for the last half of the twentieth century. Robert Rauschenberg is a work of collaborative oral biography that tells the story of one of the twentieth century's great artists through a series of interviews with key figures in his life--family, friends, former lovers, professional associates, studio assistants, and collaborators. The oral historian Sara Sinclair artfully puts the narrators' reminiscences in conversation, with a focus on the relationship between Rauschenberg's intense social life and his art. The book opens with a prologue by Rauschenberg's sister and then shifts to New York City's 1950s and '60s art scene, populated by the luminaries of abstract expressionism. It follows Rauschenberg's eventual move to Florida's Captiva Island and his trips across the globe, illuminating his inner life and its effect on his and others' art. The narrators share their views on Rauschenberg's work, explore the curatorial thinking behind exhibitions of his art, and reflect on the impact of the influx of money into the contemporary art market. Included are artists famous in the own right, such as Laurie Anderson and Brice Marden, as well as art-world insiders and lesser-known figures who were part of Rauschenberg's inner circle." - Publisher.

He was 78 years old and lived in East Hampton. Mr. Farrington set numerous deep-sea fishing records, wrote 21 books, and served as saltwater editor of Field & Stream magazine from 1937 to 1972. Throughout that period, he maintained a position with the Kelly Nason public relations agency. He founded and for years supervised the international Tuna Cup competition off Nova Scotia, played amateur hockey until his 60's.[He].produced many titles including ''Fishing with Hemingway and Glassell, '' an account of the pursuit of big game fish by his friends Ernest Hemingway and Alfred Glassell.A native of Orange, N.J., Mr. Farrington joined his family's brokerage firm at the age of 16 and became a partner at 21, but when his family moved to East Hampton in the 1920's, he became enchanted with deep-sea fishing and decided to devote himself to sports. It was also in East Hampton that he met Sara Houston Chisholm, whom he married in 1934 and who was his frequent fishing companion. Mr. Farrington's major catch was a 1, 135-pound black marlin landed in 1952 off the coast of Peru, for a time the heaviest game fish landed by rod and reel. He seemed far prouder, however, of a record set by his wife, who was the first woman to land a broadbill swordfish, a 584-pound giant, drawing a cable of congratulations from Hemingway: ''Perfection. The real record is to catch the first one, because if you catch the biggest fish, someone eventually is going to catch a bigger one. ''" From Wikipedia: "Alfred C. Glassell Jr., a renaissance man and philanthropist equally at home in the fields of energy, art and sport fishing, died Wednesday after an extended illness. He was 95. Glassell was a pioneer in the energy industry and a guiding light for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, as well as multiple other cultural and educational organizations, including the Smithsonian Institution. One of his proudest accomplishments, however, was catching a record-setting 1, 560-pound black marlin off the coast of Peru in 1953. It remains the largest marlin ever caught. Locally, art lovers will remember Glassell for his decades of service to Houston's fine-arts museum. First elected to the board of trustees in 1970, he became its chairman in 1990. "He started collecting art in his 30s and just gave it away, " museum director Peter C. Marzio said. "How many people will do that? " Glassell's passion for art was inspired by his world travels. He collected West African gold such as personal adornments and ceremonial regalia and gave it to the MFAH. The Alfred C. Glassell Collection of African Gold, as it is known, occupies its own galleries in the MFAH's Caroline Wiess Law Building. MFAH curator Frances Marzio said Glassell assembled the greatest collection of African gold in the world. Portions of the renowned collection have been borrowed by museums across the globe, including the Pushkin in Moscow. He was also an early contributor and supporter of the Museum of African Art that is a part of the Smithsonian." Good. No dust jacket. Signed by previous owner. Cover has some wear and soiling.
