Online Catalogue #59

Online Catalogue #59

Many of the highlights in our latest catalogue are to be found in the lengthy section on Australian Modernism at the beginning of the list. There are numerous elusive ‘little magazines’, such as complete runs of Comment, Angry Penguins, Angry Penguins Broadsheet, Ern Malley’s Journal, Art in Australia (all six Series 4 numbers), and Manuscripts. There are also substantial runs of even rarer titles, such as Barjai, Pandemonium, and Tomorrow. Sidney Nolan is well represented, with two books containing original artwork, and another lot containing over 80 items with cover artwork by him.

From anti-heroes (think Ned Kelly and Ern Malley) to heroes: we have signatures of seventeen men awarded the Victoria Cross; numerous accounts of the adventures of Biggles himself; and a stirring poster featuring Condoman (definitely a man of action).

All this and more – with our compliments of the season!
