BACK IN THE BOOKSHOP: ART & TEXT 18 “PHANTASM AND SIMULACRA: The Drawings of Pierre Klossowski” (1985) • Edited by Paul Foss, Paul Taylor, Allen S. Weiss • Very special 1985 issue of Melbourne's ART & TEXT, dedicated to the work of Pierre Klossowski. • Pierre Klossowski (1905-2001) was a significant and influential philosopher, writer, translator and artist who befriended Georges Bataille and formulated an original stance on many theological issues, as well as the philosophy of the Marquis de Sade. His first novel, Roberte, ce soir, appeared in 1954 as a limited edition containing six of his own erotic illustrations, after he rejected drawings by his younger brother, the painter Balthus. Following the encouragement of Robert Lebel, Andre Masson and Alberto Giacometti, Klossowski held his first exhibition in Paris in 1956, and subsequently produced numerous life-size drawings of erotic scenes imbued with mythological, allegorical and philosophical connotations. By the 1970s, he had won the acclaim of such eminent thinkers as Maurice Blanchot, Michel Butor, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault and Felix Guattari. • Contributions by Pierre Klossowski, Rémy Zaugg, Alphonso Lingis, Paul Foss, Paul Taylor, Walo Von Fellenberg, Chantal Thomas, and Allen S. Weiss. Full contents on our website. • Art & Text, is one of the landmark contemporary art magazines of the 1980s and 1990s. Founded in Melbourne, Australia, in 1981 by Paul Taylor (1957–92), who soon moved to New York City to make his mark as an art critic, the magazine went on to become one of a handful of international art magazines that succeeded in capturing the turmoil and passing brilliance of that period of postmodernism. • One copy via our website and in the bookshop. • #worldfoodbooks #pierreklossowski #RémyZaugg #AlphonsoLingis #PaulFoss #PaulTaylor #WaloVonFellenberg #ChantalThomas #AllenSWeiss (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)
