Douglas Morley Kirkland (August 16, 1934 – October 2, 2022) was a Canadian-born American photographer. He was noted for his photographs of celebrities, especially the ones he took of Marilyn Monroe several months before her death.

Kirkland was born in Toronto on August 16, 1934. He was raised in nearby Fort Erie, where his father managed a small store that sold suits. He later recounted how he developed his penchant for photography while perusing the Life magazines his father brought back from his store. Kirkland attended Seneca Vocational High School in Buffalo, New York, before immigrating to the United States permanently.

Kirkland first worked for a printing studio in Richmond, Virginia. He then served as Sherwin Greenberg's assistant for a year starting in 1957. He was subsequently employed by Look magazine. It was in that capacity that he was allocated a photo session with Marilyn Monroe in 1961. The photos, taken only a few months prior to her death, became some of the most noteworthy ones of her, thereby kick-starting his career.

Over the years, various notable persons later posed for Kirkland, from the great photography innovator Man Ray and photographer/painter Jacques Henri Lartigue to Dr. Stephen Hawking. Entertainment celebrities he photographed included Romy Schneider, Audrey Hepburn, Mick Jagger, Sting, Björk, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Morgan Freeman, Orson Welles, Andy Warhol, Oliver Stone, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Angelina Jolie, Leonardo DiCaprio, Coco Chanel, Marlene Dietrich, Brigitte Bardot, Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Catherine Deneuve, Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton, and Diana Ross. Kirkland's portrait of Charlie Chaplin is at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Kirkland was contracted for work around the world and worked in the motion picture industry as a special photographer on more than 150 films. These included 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Sound of Music, Sophie's Choice, Out of Africa, The Pirate Movie, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Romancing the Stone, Titanic, and Moulin Rouge!. Some of his famous film shots include John Travolta in the dance sequence from Saturday Night Fever, a portrait of Judy Garland crying, and the March 1976 Playboy pictorial of Margot Kidder. In 1995 Kirkland received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American motion pictures Society of Operating Cameramen.

Kirkland's picture book, Titanic (1998), was the first of its kind to reach No.1 on the New York Times Best Seller list and did so on both the hardcover and paperback lists. He followed this with the book project titled A Life in Pictures, which was released in 2013. - Wikipedia

Alchimie

Fotografie di Sarah Moon

Testo di José Chidlovsky

Contrasto Due, Roma 2014, 72 pagine, 50 fotografie a colori e b/n, 20x25cm, brossura, ISBN 9788869655302

euro 24,90

Contrasto pubblica Alchimie, il libro che raccoglie il nuovo lavoro di Sarah Moon. La maggior parte delle immagini è stata realizzata al Museo di Storia Naturale di Parigi nell’estate del 2013. Qui Sarah Moon, ispirata dalle sue passeggiate tranquille, ha catturato le sue scoperte e rivelazioni in una serie di scatti in cui esprime la sua visione delle varie forme di vita: vegetale, minerale, animale. Attraverso una cinquantina di fotografie nel libro si dimostra la fragile temporalità della vita. Le creature che cattura Sarah Moon sono in gabbia, confinate entro le vetrate degli edifici storici del museo, intrappolate e senza vita. Quando non ci sono evidenti barriere fisiche, Sarah Moon le crea attraverso la sua lente. A prima vista, le fotografie sembrano essere dei raggi X, per la loro natura granulare e oscura. La sua collezione esplora figure solitarie, come nel caso dell’unica cicogna con la schiena rivolta allo spettatore. L’uso del colore è magistrale: sfumature profonde di smeraldo e turchese, con forti tinte di cremisi. Le fotografie evidenziano un interessante assortimento di pappagalli e fiori, iniettando una dose di vivacità  nella collezione.

Fotografa di moda dal 1970, Sarah Moon sviluppa un lavoro più intimo e personale a partire dal 1985. Le sue fotografie sono apparse su numerose riviste e sono state il soggetto di diversi libri: Souvenirs improbables, Le Petit Chaperon rouge, Vrais Semblants, Coïncidences (l’edizione italiana è stata pubblicata da Contrasto), Circuss, L’Effraie, Le Fil rouge, La Sirène d’Auderville, Le Chaperon Noir. Nel 2008 il libro 1.2.3.4.5 (pubblicato in Italia da Contraso) riceve il Prix Nadar. Da diversi anni Sarah Moon costruisce e arricchisce un universo personale incentrato in particolar modo su tre temi: l’evanescenza della bellezza, l’incerto e lo scorrere del tempo. Nel 2003 la Maison européenne de la photographie presenta una grande esposizione dei suoi ultimi lavori che fa in seguito tappa a Kyoto, Mosca, Shanghai e Pechino. Nel 2008 1.2.3.4.5 è stato presentato a Londra al Royal College of Art e alla Michael Hoppen Gallery, a Parigi a Camera Obscura a Parigi e a New York alla Howard Greenberg Gallery. Nel 2013, invitata dal Museo Nazionale di Storia Naturale di Parigi, ha presentato, con l’esibizione Alchimies, il suo lavoro sul mondo animale, vegetale e minerale. Sarah Moon ha anche realizzato numerosi film, fra cui un lungometraggio, Mississipi One, e alcuni film dedicati alla fotografia e ai fotografi, in particolare a Henri Cartier-Bresson e Lillian Bassman. Ha lavorato a due cortometraggi ispirati ai racconti di Hans Christian Andersen e a Charles Perrault: Circuss, L’Effraie, Le Fil rouge, La Sirène d’Auderville e Le Chaperon Noir. Nel 2012 ha scritto e realizzato un mediometraggio di fantasia, 5h-5.

NY / &&&2

&&&2 January 6, 2024 – February 18, 2024  Opening Reception: Jan 6, Saturday 6-8PM  A talk with the artists will be scheduled in February

Tiger Strikes Asteroid New York is pleased to present &&&2, a bi-coastal exhibition that serves as both a survey and sequel to the collaborations of Ethan Greenbaum, David Kennedy Cutler and Sara Greenberger Rafferty.

Ten years ago, the artists initiated a series of meetings to talk about materials and techniques, based on their mutual interest in using photographic imagery to destabilize traditional art categories like painting, printmaking and sculpture.

The meetings resulted in an artist’s book titled &&&, in which the three artists imagined themselves as a fictional industrial supply firm. For Greenberger & Greenbaum & Cutler &, the fictional company had a veneer of prestige. For these capitalist outsiders, a corporate symbol of joint commercial enterprise was almost tantamount to success.

The book was released at Printed Matter’s NY Art Book Fair in 2013 in both a mass market paperback and a boxed, limited special edition print series based on swatch sample catalogs. The intention of the project was lost on nearly everyone, but a few key people became aware of the artists’ positioning themselves as a small movement.  This included the photography curator Dan Leers, who organized a show and catalog of their work, Beyond The Surface: Image as Object, at the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center in 2014. 

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of &&&, Sun You has invited Greenberger & Greenbaum & Cutler to mount an exhibition at TSA in Brooklyn, NY. There will also be a simultaneous version of the show at Ditch Projects in Springfield, OR.  The exhibitions at both artist-run spaces feature a backdrop that wraps the gallery with deconstructed pages from the original &&& book, over which the artists have installed works from 2013 and 2023.  The original book is also exhibited, as well as a new portfolio of prints (&&&2) to celebrate ten fruitful years of collaboration, hand wringing and friendship 

Ethan Greenbaum is a New York based artist. Selected exhibition venues include KANSAS, New York; Derek Eller Gallery, New York; Hauser and Wirth, New York; Marlborough Chelsea, New York, Higher Pictures, New York; New York; Marianne Boesky, New York, Circus Gallery, Los Angeles; Steve Turner, Los Angeles; The Suburban, Chicago; Michael Jon & Alan, Miami, The Aldrich Museum, Connecticut; Socrates Sculpture Park; Long Island City and Stems Gallery, Brussels. Recent projects include a solo presentation with Lyles & King and solo exhibitions at Galerie Pact, Paris and Super Dakota, Brussels.

His work has been discussed in The New York Times, Modern Painters, Artforum, BOMB Magazine, ArtReview and Interview Magazine, among others. Ethan is a co-founder and editor of thehighlights.org and his writings have appeared in the Brooklyn Rail, Wax Magazine, BOMB, Paper Monument and others. He has also curated and co-curated multiple exhibitions at venues including The Suburban, Chicago; Lyles & King, New York and Super Dakota, Brussels. Greenbaum is the recipient of the Queens Art Fund New Work Grant, the Silver Art Residency, The Keyholder Residency at the Lower East Side Printshop, Dieu Donne’s Workspace Residency, LMCC’s Workspace Program, The Robert Blackburn SIP Fellowship, The Socrates EAF Fellowship, The Edward Albee Foundation Residency and The Barry Schactman Painting Prize. He received an MFA in Painting from Yale School of Art.

David Kennedy Cutler is an artist, writer and performer who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Cutler received his BFA from The Rhode Island School of Design in 2001. He has had solo exhibitions at Derek Eller Gallery, New York; Halsey McKay Gallery, East Hampton; Essex Flowers, New York; The Centre for Contemporary Art, Tallinn, Estonia and Nice & Fit, Berlin, Germany. Cutler has performed in various spaces in New York including Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, Essex Flowers, Printed Matter, Halsey McKay, Derek Eller Gallery, and Flag Art Foundation, and internationally at the Center for Contemporary Arts Estonia, among others. His works are included in the permanent collections of the Wellin Museum at Hamilton College and The RISD Museum, and his artist’s books are included in the libraries of the Whitney Museum and the Brooklyn Museum. He has been reviewed and featured in The New York Times, Artforum, Art in America, The New Yorker and Modern Painter, among others. Cutler is represented by Derek Eller Gallery, NY and Halsey McKay Gallery, East Hampton. 

Sara Greenberger Rafferty produces image-based works in paper, plastic, glass, metal, fabric, and video. Her work is driven by an ongoing examination of contemporary and mid-20th century visual culture and considers the ever-changing implications for photographic images in the digital era. She’s also into comedy. 

Ditch Projects is a nonprofit artist-founded, artist-run studio, exhibition, and performance space providing contemporary art experiences in Springfield, Oregon. As a collective of artists and professionals committed to exhibiting experimental artists from diverse backgrounds, Ditch Projects provides opportunities for cultural exchange between experimental contemporary art and our local community, acting as an integral voice within contemporary art discourse in the Pacific Northwest. Since its founding in 2008, Ditch Projects has featured over 145 exhibitions and 275 artists. Growing organically out of the concerns of its artist members, Ditch provides contemporary visual arts practitioners with an opportunity to test out new ideas, processes, and approaches they might not otherwise attempt in a comparable urban center. Over the past decade, the primary focus of the artist collective has been on the production and presentation of new works by regional, national and international artists, with a consistent 10-12 solo, two-person or group exhibitions per season. Past exhibiting artists have included internationally renowned practitioners such as Amy Yao, Diana Thater, Scott Reeder, Laura Owens, Jessica Jackson Hutchinsons, and Vito Acconci, along with regionally acclaimed artists such as Ralph Pugay, Amy Bernstein, Lisa Radon, Tannaz Farsi, James Lavadour, and Kristen Kennedy. Exhibitions at Ditch Projects have been reviewed in Art Forum, Frieze, Art in America, and the New York Times. Ditch Projects has received grants from the Andy Warhol Foundation, The Miller Foundation, the Ford Family Foundation, the Oregon Arts Commision, the Oregon Cultural Trust, Oregon Community Foundation, and the WLS Spencer Foundation.

Short Takes at LYIFF: The North has a new film festival, and it's awesome

This weekend indie cinema got its rightful moment in the spotlight, as the Lytham International Film Festival took over the iconic Lowther Pavilion. With features, shorts, and curated strands from festival partners - including our old mates at Beyond the Bar programming the 'After Dark' strand - this is a festival rooted in its Northern roots, with a view to going global. So what better way to showcase the best bits than with a return to the Short world of things?

Across the weekend members of the TheJackSmit.com family seen a lot of shorts, and as ever, we're gonna showcase the best ones here on the blog - because you never know how a career might take off from out of nowhere. It was difficult to narrow it down to just a few, but these were the ones which stood out.

JACK'S TOP 3 SHORTS FROM LYIFF

DARWIN'S FOX

SYNOPSIS: Driven by the urge to prove the existence of an extinct creature, a father and his son head off into the wilderness. But soon the search becomes much more personal, when the son suddenly vanishes without a trace.

The Germans like doing the basics right - and this short from Ben Scharf does just that. In half an hour it has the makings of a feature, with some well thought out cinematography and writing. Importantly this short features young talent Cooper Dillon- who will be next seen in Hunger Games prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

MIDNIGHT RIDE

SYNOPSIS: A drug-dealing, Italian delivery rider resorts to robbing a South London burrito joint after his bike and drugs are stolen, little knowing he might be the one taken for a ride all along.

This was a neat short from Alessandro Farratini Pojani (who has shadowed names like Pete Czernin and Graham Broadbent behind the scenes), that has a distinctly British vibe but subverts the idea of a drug dealer trying to get his life back on track... by adding everyone's favourite food delivery service into the mix as he has the unluckiest night of his life. It gets the look and feel pretty much spot on.

A LITTLE GLASS OF RUM

SYNOPSIS: After grieving over the murder of his wife and son, prison guard Stan Ailor dines with the killer, Kenneth for his last meal. The two converse about the murders which leads Stan to getting the revenge he's been longing for.

LYIFF has its roots in the education sector - so to see Point Park University graduates make a short like this, on a similar kind of budget to UK students is nothing short of extraordinary. Going back in time to the 70s, what Carah Chafin did with writer/director of photography Lauren Keller's script, added in with the authenticity of the locations and those performances.... this is a cracker.

MENDO'S CAROUSEL

SYNOPSIS: After the death of her father, a troubled woman robs a dry-cleaning shop to make ends meet, but when the owner finds out, a secret from their past forces her to choose between doing what is right or following in the footsteps of her father.

Reading the EPK for this short, this is quite a personal film about honesty for its writer/director David Michael Maurer - and in 12 minutes it tells an incredibly powerful story. It was a worthy way to close the first session of shorts on day 1, and it is definitely making waves on the festival circuit.

As well as the main festival selection, partners Director's Notes brought some of their featured shorts to LYIFF, and as much as we want to talk about things like crazy American dark comedy The Flute, BAFTA nominated short Stuffed and student effort Heart Failure... they are a bit too 18 certificate to be showcased here on the blog. But ultimately the filmmakers enjoyed a Northern welcome, the audiences lapped up each and every film, and the Q&As hosted throughout the weekend (hosted by LYIFF's festival director Ed Greenberg) got a lot of discussion going.

Filmmakers, listen up - you can be part of it next year

The 2024 Lytham International Film Festival is on August 23rd-25th - and applications for next year have just opened on FilmFreeway.

Disney is ready to go down the river one more time.

With Jungle Cruise crossing the $100 million at the domestic box office this past weekend, the studio is pulling the trigger on a sequel.

Stars Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt are set to return as wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton, respectively, for the brand new adventure with Michael Green, who co-wrote the hit, back at the keyboard.

Expected to also come back are director Jaume Collet-Serra and the film’s producing team of John Davis, John Fox, Beau Flynn, Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia. Scott Sheldon returns as executive producer.

Like a riverboat steadfastly making its way up the Amazon River, Cruise has chugged its way to hit status. It opened July 30 to more than $35 million at the domestic box office and more than $30 million in Disney+ Premier Access in its first three days, according to the studio. And even with the challenges created by rising and new waves of the coronavirus pandemic, the movie has remained a top box office draw, and its fifth weekend of release saw a drop domestically of only 21 percent. The domestic tally now stands at $100.1 million. Worldwide, the box office cume is $187 million.

Green next has Fox/Disney’s all-star adaptation of Agatha Christie mystery, Death on the Nile, which is due to open in 2022. He is repped by WME, 3 Arts Entertainment and Felker Toczek

Collet-Serra is coming off of principal photography of Black Adam, the DC and New Line movie that stars Johnson. He is repped by LBI Management and Greenberg Glusker.

Michael Fried: The Perils of Theory

Michael Fried: The Perils of Theory

Michael Fried is today and has been since the early 1960s one of the most interesting and perceptive art historians in the world. In the 1960s, Fried was, along with his mentor Clement Greenberg, the most insightful art critic of contemporary art in the United States, and certainly the strongest advocate for what was then known as “modernist” painting and sculpture, as epitomized in the work of Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Frank Stella and English sculptor Anthony Caro among others.

Around 1961 Fried began writing short reviews of exhibitions for the magazine Art International, and later for Artforum. It is in the Artforum articles that Fried’s writing really blossomed, and his thinking freed itself in important ways from the heavy influence of Greenberg’s formalism. Fried’s articles between 1965 and ’67 consist almost (but not entirely) of extremely nuanced phenomenological descriptions of particular works under scrutiny. (By “phenomenological description” I mean a description something as a “phenomenon” – of how the thing appears, how it reveals itself to the eye and how it is experienced by the beholder as an embodied being in the world. In this sense “phenomenological” description is to be distinguished from a “neutral” description of the object’s physical appearance and characteristics, although appearance and characteristics are certainly relevant to describing the phenomenology of the object. Since an art object’s essence is revealed in the way it reveals itself to the beholder, a phenomenological description may be said to reveal the object’s essence.) Because Fried’s writing during this period consists of almost nothing more than continuous descriptions of particular things, and because these descriptions also reveal the thing’s essence – the kind of thing it is – there is a sense in which Fried’s short reviews are also instances of serious philosophical writing. I think it is fair to say that the philosophical interest of this writing depends upon its not advancing or advocating any sort of theory of art, philosophy or of anything else. In this essay I would like to be able to convey at least some hints concerning how this can be.

Fried’s career as an art critic in New York culminated with the publication one intensely theoretical and aggressively polemical essay, the justly famous “Art and Objecthood” in 1967. I won’t rehearse the claims made in that essay, except to say that it was Fried’s attack on minimalist art, which he characterized as celebrating “objecthood” or “literalness”, and which, according to Fried, was irredeemably “theatrical” in its effect on the beholder. Fried’s sense of confidence in the truth of his project was such that he took the liberty of proclaiming in openly militant terms that “theater and theatricality are at war today, not simply with modernist painting … but with art as such”, and that the “success, even the survival, of the arts has come increasingly to depend on their ability to defeat theater.”[i] With “Art and Objecthood”, Fried abandoned critical writing about particular works of art - which attained the status of first rate philosophical writing by virtue of the quality of his phenomenological descriptions of how art works appear (which is what art work are, in their essence) - and turned to theory and polemic.

Following publication of “Art and Objecthood”, jt rather quickly became evident that Fried’s passionate call for anti-theatrical art was going to be largely ignored by the so-called “art scene”, and by the early 1980s that scene had already come to be dominated by work that was explicitly and proudly “theatrical” in exactly the sense denounced by Fried. Accordingly, Fried’s subsequent turn to art history – an extremely valuable and important excavation of the concept of “theatricality” in French painting and the various evolving strategies deployed to defeat it – may be interpreted in part as an acknowledgement that his relevance as a critic of contemporary art had lapsed.[ii]

Because Fried’s writings have been so important to me, having provided me with a way to look at enjoy art in general, the controversy surrounding “Art and Objecthood” strikes me as unfortunate, not least because Fried’s reputation as an art critic has been (perhaps unfairly) linked to the fate of an essay that doesn’t, in my opinion, embody his best critical writing. Be that as it may, the misfortune can be understood as a sort of allegory concerning the temptations and perils associated with theorizing about art, and even more broadly, theorizing about philosophy, writing, politics and the world itself. Because one of the temptations of theorizing is one of its perils – namely, the temptation to “taking sides” in controversies of the day, and to engage in polemics which, at the end of the day involves succumbing to the ever changing winds of fashion while abandoning evidence of experience (and thereby genuine philosophical thinking). My purpose in this writing is not to mourn the misfortune or to polemicize against theory but merely to draw attention to what tends to be lost when looking or listening or thinking is not permitted to follow its own path without knowing in advance its destination.

               The thesis of “Art and Objecthood”, being a thesis, can in principle be refuted by its antithesis, and the evidence of history from about 1975 to the present suggests that this is exactly what happened, at least as far as the “art world” is concerned. But the evidence of (personal) experience does not depend on the art world, and because it does not advance any thesis, that evidence is not subject to refutation, historical or otherwise. And plenty of experiential evidence can be found in Fried’s writing before “Art and Objecthood”. What that evidence provides is a way of looking at painting and sculpture that remains as pertinent, as revealing and as deeply satisfying as it was when it was recorded in the mid-1960s. And that implies that the painting and sculpture that inspired Fried’s writing retain their value notwithstanding the passage of time and the replacement of one trend by another.More importantly, Fried’s writing from that period exemplifies a way of looking that affirms the continuing significance of the works being described – their intelligence, innovativeness, passion, commitment and eloquence – notwithstanding the historical eclipse by work that is, at least in my experience, vastly inferior in terms of sheer quality.

[ii] It should be noted that in recent years, Fried has resurrected in a limited way his art-critical writing, specifically in a valuable book on contemporary photograph. See Why Photography Matters

A little charmer of a movie starring the ever-watchable Kevin Kline. I’ll admit I’m pretty old-fashioned and, even in today’s evil world, I cling to the hope there are still good-hearted people out there somewhere. This is one of those movies keeping that hope alive. Let the soft side of you out and enjoy this film.

Publisher's Description

Printed in a numbered edition of 250. Numbers 1 to 50 have been retained by the Howard Greenberg Gallery.

My friend Soames was a talented artist. She and I shared our lives together in ups and downs and ins and outs. She was beautiful. She believed in my work. She was something.

So begins, with Saul Leiter's paean to his muse, an intimate reverie on family, relationships, philosophy and the wonder of an artistic life. Lumiere Press celebrates thirty-one years of fine press publishing with the release of The Ballad of Soames Bantry. Over the years it has been our mission and pleasure to present original interviews, primary source documentation, thoughtful essays and astutely selected images, with elegance and craftsmanship, as our contribution to the dialogue on the art of photography and the art of the book. With The Ballad of Soames Bantry, we offer our most ambitious title to date and a genre of bookmaking all its own.

The Ballad of Soames Bantry is a kaleidoscope, Saul's life seen through the prism of his associates, colleagues and friends: Philippe Laumont, Grace Coddington, Robert Benton, Alan Porter, Jane Livingston, Howard Greenberg, Adam Harrison Levy, Tomas Leach, Anders Goldfarb, and Margit Erb. Recollections from the members of “the artist's circle” are interwoven with period art reviews, Leiter's poetry — published here for the first time — and predominantly, Saul's voice — his aphorisms and personal narrative distilled from more than 130,000 words of transcription of lectures and interviews — Saul's candid reflections on work and life.

The book's epilogue is taken in its entirety from Michael Torosian's conversation with Saul Leiter of August 1, 2013. The artist's last interview.

Recognized as a pioneer of color photography, Leiter was also an immensely prolific and ingenious painter. The Ballad of Soames Bantry brings together the diversity of his artistic expression in a suite of images which amplify the autobiographical narrative and celebrate a personal vision described by Anders Goldfarb as “riveting and profound, soulful and spirited.”

Twentieth century letterpress and twenty-first century offset lithography have been combined to present a suite of 18 color plates. Each image has been meticulously rendered in 10 micron stochastic four-color offset lithography on acid-free Mohawk Superfine paper which has been matte varnished. Each plate has then been individually tipped onto the page within a letterpress debossed tint block. The result is the ideal integration of art and book craft. The book is further illustrated with two Saul Leiter self-portraits printed on Somerset.

The text has been composed in lead on the Intertype model C4 in Linotype Eldorado, a rare, exquisite typeface designed in 1950 by the legendary William Addison Dwiggins. The lead formes were printed letterpress by hand on the Vandercook Universal III on Somerset, a 100% rag paper made expressly for this edition at the St. Cuthbert Mill in England.

The endpapers — a rich stock toned to harmonize with the cover plaque — were crafted to our specifications at the Papeterie Saint-Armand in Montreal. The edition has been hand bound in full cloth in blue mohair Asahi Japanese book cloth. The cover is ornamented with a graphic plaque printed in multiple layers of varnish and gold on “Plike” stock set into the debossed cover panel. Presented in a handmade slipcase lined with Saint-Armand paper and wrapped with blue mohair Asahi book cloth.
