A small archive of 17 photographs and accompanying correspondence by the contemporary Austrian photographer Renate Graf
by GRAF, Renate
- Used
The material relates to her travels in Asia, Africa and Europe in the early 1990s, accompanied by her husband, the German artist Anselm Kiefer. Many of these photographs, dating back to Graf's earliest use of the camera on her journeys, are overwritten with her often-impressionistic notes and commentaries. This intriguing interweaving of images and text was the dominant medium of Graf's correspondence with the curator of the South Australian Museum's groundbreaking exhibition of Indigenous art, 'Dreamings: Art from Aboriginal Australia', which opened in New York in 1988, and toured widely thereafter. Renate Graf and Anselm Kiefer visited Adelaide in February 1992, when 'Kiefer gave one of his rare public addresses to a festival audience ... As an acknowledgement of where he was giving the paper ['Boundaries, Tracks, Traces, Songs'], he wove in an Aboriginal creation myth alongside the story of Odysseus. The theme explored mythic journeys through the world in relation to self knowledge and memory' (Tony Bond, 'Fields of Reference', 2015). Some related books, catalogues and ephemera are also included.

Description:
The very fine portrait (visible image size 545 × 395 mm, in its original ornate gilt frame, external dimensions 740 × 595 mm) is exquisitely hand-painted and signed by the famous colonial photographer, Townsend Duryea (1823-1888). His original label is affixed to the paper backing on the verso of the frame ('T. Duryea, Artist Photographer, 66 and 68 King William Street, Adelaide'), and in our opinion, he has created a masterpiece as both artist and photographer with this work. James Hurtle Fisher commenced practice as a solicitor in London in 1816 and 'was drawn into the colonizing movement in 1835.... [He] was selected as resident commissioner, one of the most important offices under the South Australian Act ... second only to the governor'. Fisher 'left England in July 1836 with the governor's party in the "Buffalo", arriving on 28 December 1836 at Holdfast Bay, where the official oaths were administered, a proclamation was read and a ceremony marked the beginning of settlement. In January 1837…

Description:
Routledge, 1990. 8vo size trade paperback; 390 pages including index From back: "This is a unique study, continuing the work of Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger, and using the techniques of phenomenology against the prevailing nihilism of our culture. It expands our understanding of the human potential for spiritual self-realization by interpreting it as the developing of a bodily-felt awareness informing our gestures and movements. The author argues that a psychological focus on our experiences of well-being and pathology as embodied beings contribute significantly to a historically relevant critique of idealogy. It also provides an essential touchstone in experience for a fruitful individual and collective response to the dangers of nihilism." Edgewear, moderate wear to covers with sunned spine; marginalia, underlining and very light highlighting on least 58 pages prior to page 107; two previously folded page corners, some stray ink marks on outside pages.
