5-0 out of 5 stars If You Love Late Picasso
If you like late Picasso, then you're going to love this book. I do. What I liked best about this book was that it published numerous color works I had never seen before -- and that is hard to do, because I am one major late Picasso aficionado. And these are not the best works or extremely well known works. These are the ones Picasso would paint in a day -- or much less. With that, you see the raw artistry of these paintings. Do they all rock your world? No. But together, you feel the intensity, fever, and urgency of creation that Picasso knew in his last days, as he felt death slowly twisting and suffocating his near century old heart. Great book!

5-0 out of 5 stars excellent service
The price and the product arrived quickly and in excellent condition.I am happy to have the books.MJ

4-0 out of 5 stars Was late Picasso really a joke? Maybe not so...
This is a hefty volume which accompanies the museum-quality exhibition of seldom-seen works from Picasso's late phase (1967-1972)held at the Gagosian Gallery in NYC until June 2009. It starts with an interesting essay by Picasso's best biographer, John Richardson (who curated the exhibition), whose aim is to show how important this late phase is in the context of the artist's entire career. One may not agree with Richardson's conclusion that the late works constitute the apex of Picasso's oeuvre insofar as they were painted at a time when he was completely free of any constraint and able to express his feelings and convey his message in a bolder way than ever before, yet this essay undoubtedly sheds new light on this oft-derided body of works.

Richardson's text is followed by a short article by Jeff Koons who delivers his own views on the Spanish master.

These introductory essays are followed by a trove of photographs showing the ageing Picasso in his surroundings at La Californie and La Croix de Vie in Mougins, in the South of France (his last two homes). These photographs are mixed with illustrations of old masters' works (Hals, Goya, Rembrandt, etc) which, supposedly inspired the series of the Musketeers. These latter illustrations are unfortunately of a very bad quality (often blurred and murky, especially the Rembrandts) and some legends need editing: the notorious "Man with the Golden Helmet" is, for example, given as a Rembrandt whereas it is no longer considered a work by his hand (even though it is still a great painting...).

Then come the many full-page colored illustrations of Picasso's Musketeers which are of a much better quality and even allow a glimpse into Picasso's brushwork technique.

On the whole, a valuable -though far from perfect- publication that gives new insight on the greatest painter of the XXth century. ... Read more

Product Description
America's famous teenage stalkers of stupidity are back! From the authors of You May Not Tie an Alligator to a Fire Hydrant, here is a collection of 101 of the dumbest product warnings you'll ever see.

The infamous 1994 McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit has spawned a veritable industry of "hot" warnings, from Kellogg's Pop-Tarts admonition that "[i]f pastry is overheated, frosting/filling can become extremely hot and could cause burns" to the Black Cat Fireworks label: "Caution: flammable. Do not put in mouth." If, on the other hand, you manage to escape the heat with a trip to the beach, be warned that a twenty-inch beach ball is "NOT a lifesaving device." Kids (and maybe even parents) might be forgiven, however, for thinking that Mr. Bubbles Body Wash for Kids of All Ages would be okay to use if they missed the warning label: "Caution. Keep out of reach of young children."

In the brave new world of technology, users frustrated by the gobbledygook of users' manuals will be relieved that their warning labels at least make sense: the Sun StarOffice End User License Agreement warns users that "software is not designed, licensed or intended for use in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility," while the SGI IRIS Indigo Workstation manual tells you, "Don't dangle the mouse by its cable or throw the mouse at coworkers." And for those who just can't quite figure out what to do with some of their new purchases, this might help: "Use Gold Dial as you would ordinary soap" explains the Dial soap label.

Compiled by Jeff Koon and Andy Powell, this hilarious collection features the best contributions from the hundreds of thousands of fans of their Web sites, www.dumblaws.com and www.dumbwarnings.com, and forty-two original drawings by illustrator Tim Carroll. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Not as good as i thought would be
I brought this book for my reading while on the "porcelain throne" collection. I thought this book would be hilarious. In all actuality its kind of corny. It has 1 warning per page and just overall was a waste of my money. I mean some of them are funny. But out of 101, i skimmed through it in one sitting, laughing at probably 5 at most. I guess i expected too much from this book when i ordered it

5-0 out of 5 stars Funny
I was glad to purchase this book.Condition was great, and I read over it in my class. The students got a kick out of it.

3-0 out of 5 stars Short, Cute
This book offers a few laughs and memorable Warning Labels, but is too short to really be enjoyable. Some of the Labels are cute, and you can spend time wondering who actaully did some of the ridiculous stuff in there, but the book ends far too soon. You get about 30 good lables out of the 101, that's about it. I read through it in about 20 minutes, then gave it as a gift the next day.

3-0 out of 5 stars Cute, but that's about it
We all know that there is a plethora of items out there with ridiculous warning labels on them.Everything from the hair dryer that warns you not to use it while in the shower to the contraceptive jelly that warns against ingestion.This is the litigious nature of our society.Some of the warnings in this book are truly funny, a few will get a chuckle out of you, but most are just kind of blah.More fun is to go out and find the ludicrous warnings yourself and then try to imagine the person/people to whom these warnings are directed.It will likely make you wonder how the human race has survived this long and just how much longer we can make it.

2-0 out of 5 stars Get it from the library, if you must get it..
I borrowed this book from the library expecting a lot more. Too much more, maybe. It reads like one of those meditation-a-day style books with a meditation (dumb label) on each page and really isn't very funny. Sure, there were a few good cracks on really dumb labels, but for the mostpart I felt that the authors were far reaching into labels that had every right to be attached to the particular product. I found myself thinking.. "What's wrong with that?" and "I understand why they have that label there".

Who knows.. maybe I've become immune to labels in a country where everyone is suing everyone else! ... Read more

Product Description

You May Not Tie an Alligator to a Fire Hydrant is a collection of the 101 dumbest real federal, city, and state laws in America, compiled by Jeff Koon and Andy Powell, a couple of high school seniors with a Web site visited by hundreds of thousands of browsers every month. These laws will astonish, possibly outrage, and certainly amuse citizens everywhere.

Here you will learn that forgetting to close a gate is against the law in Nevada; that flying a kite is illegal in Schaumburg, Illinois; and that shaking carpets in the street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is strictly forbidden. You probably haven't tried cutting off your arm to make people feel sorry for you -- but if you live in Alabama, it is against the law. Many Texans will be surprised to learn that their hoes must be no less than four feet long. Perhaps more disturbingly, Indianans will be forced to recognize that being sexually aroused in public could get them arrested. With so many potential legal pitfalls around us all, it is comforting, finally, to learn in these pages that, in Alaska, the people who make laws have sagely concluded that emergencies are "held to a minimum and are rarely found to exist."

This hilarious compilation features forty-six original illustrations by award-winning artist Ward Schumaker that brilliantly capture the absurdity of so many of our laws with a light and elegant touch.

WARNING
These laws, all verified by the authors and presented along with a reference to the corresponding federal, state, or city statute, may cause readers to lose any desire to pursue a career in law. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars dumb, dumber laws
This book is hilarious! Even funnier is that dumb laws still exist, and in the USA of all places. Talk about "rational ignorance"! And it took high-schoolers to bring the dumbness of it all to attention. The book illustrations are great. This is not superior non-fiction, for sure. It is enjoyable, and I loved, nonetheless. You will too, I bet.

1-0 out of 5 stars These kids have good initiative, but little experience
The book was written by high school seniors that wanted to focus on strange laws that are on the books.However, they fail to realize that some of the laws make perfect sense, because they don't posess the necessary experience to understand why the laws are necessary.
Also, in a few cases, they completely misinterpret the laws to mean something that has little to nothing to do with the law at hand.

For evidence, the title is incorrect.Not because the law doesn't name alligators (it doesn't), but rather because the way it is written, a person has the option of tying the alligator to the fire hydrant.They should have excluded the italics if they wanted to say that there is a lawa against tying the alligator up.

1-0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
The authors have found a couple of really dumb laws, but most of the book features unusual scenarios that the authors create that are technically illegal.The title is an example of this.The law actually states that the fire hydrant should not be blocked by anything- so yes, it would be illegal to tie the alligator to the fire hydrant.But is that really a dumb law?Each page features one law and the authors comments.Not much substance to this book.

1-0 out of 5 stars A Good Idea That Needs More Work
This is a book by two kids.It started off as a school project.The idea is to list laws that seem very strange, dumb or just plain off-the-wall.It could have been a good book but it needs a little more research.

Each page has a catchy phrase about some law.The title of the book is one such phrase.There is then some of the text of the law it refers to.Unfortunately, sometimes the blurb is actually the direct opposite of the law given.I found this to be really unforgivable in such a book.Very often I got the idea that the authors just didn't understand the language used in the laws and sometime I felt they never read them in the first place.

Still, there are some dumb laws that they did get right.But really, there should have been a lot more attention paid before this ever saw print.

1-0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time
Sorry guys, but this is the dumbest book I have read in a long time. I bought it thinking it would be good beach reading and, boy, was I wrong. Being eaten by seagulls would have been less painful than enduring this drivel. A little thought into this project would have proved helpful as many of the laws quoted were instituted for very good reasons such as the law regarding ice cubes in El Paso. Do you want to buy ice cubes that were produced across the border with their stellar health regulations. Most books of this type are quite entertaining, but not this one. It's just plain stupid. ...

Product Description
The man who enshrined a Hoover vacuum cleaner, who suspended a basketball in a fish tank half filled with water, who created a life-size polychromed wooden replica of Michael Jackson and his pet chimp Bubbles, who transferred his sex life with his then-wife, Italian porn star Ilona Staller (aka Cicciolina), onto canvas, and who made a monumental topiary sculpture in the shape of a puppy, is here given a mini-retrospective in the form of a book. Jeff Koons: Pictures 1980-2002 focuses primarily on the formation and development of Koons's paintings, but, given that he considers his early sculptures to be "three-dimensional paintings," this limit need hardly be considered medium-restrictive. Thomas Kellein's extended interview provides a walloping good tale told by the artist himself. In it, Koons remembers his childhood drawing lessons, his first sale (his father had a decorating business and showroom where he would display and sell his 11-year-old son's art), his experiences at art school, his courtship with ex-wife Cicciolina (they fell in love after he hired her to make his Made in Heaven series), and how the birth of his son inspired his Celebration series, all the while sharing his philosophies on art. Organized chronologically and with an extended biography and bibliography, Pictures presents each of the main works from Koons's painting series from 1980 to the present.
The moral aspect in my work has always been so important. I am always trying--that's my ability--to be as moral as possible.
I am really convinced that you cannot create art. You can't. You can create culture, and if you create art, it will be about the purity of the idea. The initial intuition is to make that gesture. There you don't get caught in aesthetics. You don't believe in anything that has a value other than that gesture. --Jeff Koons

3-0 out of 5 stars Succinct Overview
This volume is too slender though it's beautifully made and the color reproductions are excellent. The book is divided chronologically by series (e.g. Equilibrium, Banality, Easyfun, etc.). There is a brief introduction by Thomas Kellein followed by Jeff Koons' slightly longer one. The first-person comments by Koons are interesting and are nice to see right next to the work he is discussing but for a book with pretensions at being a career retrospective it is way too thin, does not feature any substantial critical essays, and only reproduces a small number of works from each series. ...

Product Description
The October 2004 edition of Interview magazine will mark 35 years of the award winning journal founded by pop art pioneer Andy Warhol. In that time it has developed from the newsletter of the Studio 54 set into the definitive guide to the most significant stars of today and tomorrow. Adopting an original format the magazine uses recordings of questions and answer sessions to reveal information about celebrities, politicians, filmmakers, musicians and literary figures. The questions are often put by another celebrity and the answers are revealing, intimate and candid. Alongside the interviews are photographs by the crème de la crème of celebrity and fashion photography – Robert Mapplethorpe, Francesco Scavullo, Herb Ritts, Ara Gallant, Peter Beard, Bruce Weber, Perry Berenson and others – who are given the opportunity to make some of their most challenging and original work. For 35 years Interview has offered an original perspective on the sexy, fascinating and funny people who are shaping popular culture. This collection of 7 books presents the first catalogue of the first decade of that extraordinary history and like the rare, early issues of the magazine is bound to become a valuable collector’s item.

Book 1: The Covers – Facsimile reproductions of every cover of the first decade of Interview magazine published. 160 pgs / color printing.

Book 2: The Pictures – A selection of the best Interview magazine photo-shoots of the first decade. 192 pgs / tritone and color printing.

Book 3: The Interviews – A selection of the best interviews from the first decade of Interview magazine. 400 pgs/ Audio CD.

Book 4: The Andy Warhol Interviews – The best interviews for Interview magazine done by Warhol. 192 pgs.

Book 5: The Fashion – A selection of the best interviews with fashion designers, together with the bet fashion photography of the first decade of Interview Magazine. 192 pgs / tritone printing.

Book 6: The Directors – The best interviews with the visionary leaders of the movie industry. 192 pgs.

3-0 out of 5 stars False Advertising
As the previous reviewer noted, there's a huge discrepancy between the description and the actual product. I was at first worried and then, when I learned the truth, disappointed to find that the product I'd recieved was much less than promised.Amazon and the publisher should correct the descriptions immediately.And the price should be adjusted (downwards) to match the actual contents.

3-0 out of 5 stars Books - 5 Stars, Binding and Price - 3 Stars
The information reproduced in these volumes is truly impressive.The 7 books and two slip-cased magazines are a terrific testament to Paul Morrissey, Warhol, and everyone else who worked on the first decade of Inter/View magazine.

The boxed set is packaged expertly, with the books boxed separately from the rough, unfinished plywood "Karl Lagerfeld-designed crate."

The books truly are a treasure of 1970's glamour and kitsch.Each selected article and cover are faithfully reproduced, complete with age-yellowed newsprint and the occasional "Sample Only Please Subscribe" stamped on the page long ago.If it were for content alone, I would give this collection 5 STARS.

That being said, even as a "limited edition of 2000" the $475 price is a bit steep.The Amazon price of $299 is better, but $199 would have been more appropriate.

The description published here and elsewhere is misleading.I suspect they changed the box and bindings before publication to cut back on costs and neglected to send out a new press release with an updated product description.

When I opened the boxes, the books did not match the published product description at all.The "Karl Lagerfeld-designed crate" is rough, unfinished plain yellow painted plywood (not the box with the color photo of Andy in the Santa hat seen above).The books were not uniquely bound in various materials (cloth, plastic, metallic material, etc., as in the description).Each book is bound in the same red, black, and white printed cardboard covers.Also, no Audio CD was included with book 3.

I was concerned that there may have been two additions, so I emailed the publisher.They were very kind and quick to respond:

"I'm very sorry to hear that you did not get what you expected. What you received however is the one and only result of the long working process we had with Interview magazine. If you are not satisfied with it at all I would send it back to Amazon."

If you are at all interested in Warhol, the Factory, or this period, the set is a brilliant edition to any library... just be prepared to be a little disappointed.

Product Description
Which is more important, the coffee you drink or the cup you drink it from? The choice is a difficult one for any aesthete to make, and it is only highlighted and intensified by famed Italian coffeemaker illycaffé, which, since 1933, has been producing one of the world's greatest espressos, and which, since 1992, has been commissioning limited-edition coffee cup designs from internationally renowned and emerging artists, musicians, and filmmakers. If the story of the coffee begins with Francesco Illy in Trieste, the story of the cup begins in 1990 with architect and engineer Matteo Thun, who designed a white espresso cup to the exacting specifications of the Illy family. The volume and diameter had to be just so, the rim had to accept resting lips in a most practical manner, and the all-important bowl at the bottom of the cup had to conserve heat effectively. Once the prototype was approved, the family set about having it transformed with original work by the likes of Sandro Chia, Nam June Paik, James Rosenquist, Robert Rauschenberg, David Byrne, Francis Ford Coppola, Joseph Kosuth, Jeff Koons, Marina Abramovic, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Michel Comte, Jannis Kounellis, and Louise Bourgeois. Good to the last drop--unless coffee isn't your cup of tea.
Features cups by Joseph Kosuth, Robert Rauschenberg, Hannah Anderson, Mario Giacomelli, Andrea Illy, Matteo Thun, Achille Bonito Oliva, Louise Bourgeois, Mimmo Paladino, Ernesto Illy, Francis Ford Coppola, Jeff Koons, Neil Aitken, Jannis Kounellis,and Michel Comte amongst others.

2-0 out of 5 stars Pictures only with no content issues.
The title of this book is really appealing, but I found this book to be a superficial coffee table book. There is no thought provoking commentary or essay which could place the "cup" within a social context or place the cup with a material culture.

The color prints are on matt paper which makes the images seem a little dull and fuzzy. Not one cups seems to jump off the page and into my memory.

Adding to my disappointment is that every cup appears to be the same size and shape. The decoration or embellishment on the cups is only on the surface. It seems that the artists, writer, musicians, architects, etc., that are featured in the book, were only asked to offer a graphic design to a standard demitasse cup. Why couldn't they change the shape or form of the cup?
How disappointing! The idea behind the book is great, the execution is boring and limited.

I would not recommend buying this book.
Harriete Estel Berman

4-0 out of 5 stars A must for any ILLY COLLECTION fan.
Illy to some is the best coffee in the world, I can't say that since I have not tasted them all but I do love Illy, especially their espresso pods, but Illy is more than just coffee, they represent the most advanced and yet the most simple of pleasures... and their cupembodies that. This book is all about that, It covers the creation and a good decade's worth of artisitic varatations on the Illy cup.

I have been bitten by the Illy Collection bug and own a few of the sets, it's nice to have this book as a guide to the "expensive" past. The only problem is that the collection is only through 2003, so it is missing the 2004/2005 cups. Espresso has never been so stylish! ... Read more
