Four interesting pieces of California art ephemera:

(1) ART FOR WILSON RILES CAMPAIGN. Flyer announcing an auction in support of Wilson Riles' campaign for California State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Contributing artists included Robert Arneson, Roy De Forest, Ralph Goings, Tom Holland, Manuel Neri, Joseph Faffael, Mel Ramos, Wayne Thiebaud, Peter Voulkous, and William Wiley, among many others. Single sheet mailer, 8.5x11 inches. GOOD condition, toned on the blank backside, folds from being folded and mailed, stamp and address on the backside, folds a bit tender. In November 1970 Riles' upset win over incumbent Max Rafferty was described as "one of the most stunning upsets in California's political history". Riles became the first African American to be elected to statewide office in California.

(2) NORMA G. LEISTIKO DANCER'S WORKSHOP announcement. Card stock, 6.5x9.5 inches, image on the front, info on the back. GOOD MINUS condition, two stiff folds, toning on the backside, very cool photographic image.

(3) SUSAN HALL - Point Reyes Artist - 1969 Exhibition at the QUAY GALLERY, San Francisco. Fold-open, mailed announcement. Paper, 11.25x11.25 inches. One of her first solo exhibitions. Only FAIR condition, toning, foxing, folds, some folds have small tears. Still a scarce announcement, one of the artist's earliest exhibitions.

(4) U.C. DEPT. OF ART ATHLETIC SQUAD. Square 4.5 inch fold open card, only the front panel is printed, the other panels are blank. A group of what seems to be U.C. Berkeley Art Students and Professors who, presumably, also enjoyed sports. Some went on to have professional art related careers, others not. The people are all named, they include Raymond Saunders, Carl Worth, Richard Schuetz, Boyd Allen, Russell Gordon, Stanley Osher (a noted mathematician, perhaps brought into the club for his athletic abilities?!). GOOD condition, light toning, some pin holes to the top edge.

The items are all from the collection of Marvin Lipofsky, b.1938 d.2016, an American glass artist. He was a central figure in the dissemination of the American Studio Glass Movement, introducing it to California through his tenure as an instructor at the University of California, Berkeley and the California College of Arts and Crafts.

18 ARTWORKS, PF POUR FELICITER ILLUSTRATED ART GREETINGS, and LIMITED EDITION PRINTS, by a number of CONTEMPORARY CZECH ARTISTS. The items are all from the collection of Marvin Lipofsky, American glass artist, and instructor at the University of California, Berkeley, and the California College of Arts and Crafts, where he was responsible for training many studio artists. Almost all are signed and/or inscribed. Some have a limitation. From what I can determine, most are primarily glass artists

I cannot make out the signatures of all the artists. The items are:

5 by Eva Vlasakova - 3 signed, one with the inscription "You left without a word";

3 by Karel Vanura - 2 signed; 1 print by Ivo Rozsypal; 1 signed small print in a signed card by Bohumil Elias; 5 lovely lithograph prints all signed in an indecipherable (by me) hand;

1 limited signed print of a "girl", with indecipherable signature;

1 limited signed print 28/100, inscribed to Marvin Lipofsky in English but the signature is again too difficult to figure; 1 Pour Feliciter 1987 card signed.

All the items are in generally GOOD condition, folds from mailing, signs of handling, overall solid and bright.

About Czech PF Pour Feliciter greetings (from a knowledgeable Bohemian on the Internet):

******The Czech letters P-F ,"pé-efka", do not stand for Czech words but actually two French words "pour féliciter", which means to congratulate. It is a way of wishing luck in the New Year. In the Czech Republic PF greeting cards are often sent out a month before Christmas as part of a joint holiday (Christmas and New Year) greeting. The PF greeting is almost exclusively Czech; not even the French use it. The origin of this phrase in the Czech language is actually a total mystery and often disputed. One theory says that it was first used centuries ago when Czech noblemen spoke French as part of their "higher education". While French did not survive, the greeting did. One really big problem is that if Czechs use this greeting internationally, especially for business, nobody has a clue what it means.******

About MARVIN LIPOFSKY (from Wikipedia):

******Marvin Bentley Lipofsky, b.1938 d.2016, was an American glass artist. He was a central figure in the dissemination of the American Studio Glass Movement, introducing it to California through his tenure as an instructor at the University of California, Berkeley and the California College of Arts and Crafts. Lipofsky was one of the first American glass artists to travel to Czechoslovakia [now the Czech Republic], where a studio glass movement had arisen in the 1950s. This would be the first of many trips. He became well known and collaborated with numerous artists. Lipofsky's work has been collected by many public museums and institutions worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.******

Chinese American Artist John Way was a pioneer of mid twentieth century Chinese Abstraction.

"I am searching / for an art form / which shows / the feeling of / powerfulness and subtlety, / the infusion of controlled /and uncontrolled images, / and / the sensations of / order and disorder, / perfection from imperfection." -- John Way 1967.

John Way [Wei Letang] (Chinese/American, 1921-2012) Born in Shanghai, Wei started his artistic studies under the great calligrapher Li Jian (1881-1956). He immigrated to the U.S. in 1956 and studied architecture at M.I.T., he worked in the Boston area until moving to San Francisco in the 1990s. Inspired by both traditional Chinese calligraphy and Abstract Expressionist painting, his work evokes the large gestural work of Robert Motherwell and Franz Kline. His artworks are widely exhibited, including a solo exhibition at the Shanghai Art Museum.

The Joan Peterson Gallery was an art gallery in Boston. Peterson was one of the most prominent art dealers in Boston from the late 1950s into the early 1980s. Her gallery showed the work of leading regional modernists. It closed in 1981.

About LE FROU-FROU (from various Internet sources):

THREE SIGNED POSTERS after Bob Seidemann's original series of aviation photographs the AIRPLANE AS ART.

P-38 Lightening

Fuselage, F-86D

Canadian Snowbirds

Photolithographs, each is 18" x 24". Published by Classic Images, Distributed by Pacific Images, Glendale, California, 1989. Each hand signed in black pen by Bob Seidemann. VERY GOOD CONDITION. Three scarce signed posters, I could not find any in commerce or auction records.

Photographer Bob Seidemann (1941-2017) is famous for his Hippie era rock posters. He was one of the most recognized rock 'n' roll photographers of the 1960s, he photographed Janis Joplin wearing only beads, he photographed album covers for the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, Jackson Browne, Neil Young, and the infamous Blind Faith album cover. Raised near LaGuardia Airport he developed an early fascination with aircraft that inspired his acclaimed aviation project which began in the 1980s. In 2007 the original Airplanes As Art photography portfolio sold at auction for $216,000 at Sotheby's.

The three posters will be shipped together, safely rolled in a sturdy mailing tube.

BOB SEIDEMANN'S "BLIND FAITH" PHOTOGRAPH, ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE 20TH CENTURY; it was used for the U.K. "Blind Faith" album cover and its title became the name of the band.

TITLED, SIGNED, NUMBERED and DATED by the PHOTOGRAPHER, BOB SEIDEMANN, this being copy #10 of 75, dated 1969 but printed later.

A chromogenic reprint photograph, mounted and framed. Professionally "clip" mounted so that the photograph can safely be removed from the frame if so desired. Image measures 11.25x11 inches on a 14x12 inch photographic sheet.

Signed limited reprint photographs of "Blind Faith" are in major museums in Europe and America, and have shown up at auction from time to time. From what I can find, one sold at Sotheby's in 2014, a Rock 'n Roll History auction, for $17,000; one sold at Heritage Auctions in 2022 for $4,000, and one did not meet its reserve price at Bonhams.

The photograph is in FINE condition, bright, brilliant colors, great. The metal frame has some light scratches.

This controversial but iconic photograph represents an era when Rock 'n Roll was king, and was photographed by the king of rock n' roll photography, Bob Seidemann.

About Bob Seidemann and his photograph Blind Faith (from Sotheby's auction and Wikipedia):

******Robert "Bob" Emett Seidemann, b.1941 d.2017, was an American photographer. He was known for his portraits of musicians and bands from San Francisco's counterculture in the 1960s and 1970s. Many of his images were published by Rolling Stone, by record labels, and in books.

Bob Seidemann's surreal and enigmatic 'Blind Faith' became the album cover of Eric Clapton's first post Cream project. The band consisted of Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker, and Ric Grech, and took both its name and the title of its only album from Seidemann's photograph. The image, of a young girl holding a futuristic metal plane, created controversy even before its release when Polydor balked at using it as cover art. Clapton insisted, however, and the 1969 UK release of Blind Faith featured Seidemann's photograph. The photograph went on to become his most famous and controversial work. The rarity of the original cover has made the album highly collectible, and its notoriety has raised Seidemann's photograph to icon status.******

About three of these HOWES, from various Internet genealogy sites:

GEORGE W. HOWE, b.1832 d.1901, was the son of William Howe and Azubah Towne Stone. He was a nephew of Elias Howe, who patented the first sewing machine in America, was a Cleveland business man, and later police commissioner. He built the George Howe mansion in 1894. Howe was also one of Cleveland's earliest baseball fans. He championed bringing major league baseball to Cleveland and served as treasurer of Cleveland's first national league baseball team.

ELLEN MARIA HOWE was born on 15 July 1834, in Spencer, Worcester, Massachusetts, United States, her father, William Howe, was 31 and her mother, Azubah Towne Stone, was 28. She married Hiram Garretson in 1856. In 1880 she lived in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio.

Scarce.

A Mexican post revolutionary modernist photobook that brilliantly reveals the struggles and triumphs of the 1937 anti fascist revolution in Mexico. Gutmann's photographic work promotes Mexico as a progressive nation and is itself a high point of working class mobilization and artistic collaboration that reveals the fundamental role artists had in constructing a new national identity. Artists and worker movements were mobilized and radicalized during the six year presidency of Lázaro Cárdenas (1934-1940). The solidarity of the Mexican working class catalyzed a democratic and socialist order out of which Liga de Escritores y Artistas Revolucionarios, LEAR (League of Revolutionary Writers and Artists) an important artists collective arose in 1934. Gutmann promoted a socialist concept of Mexico, his photography provided a modernist discourse to promote the nation as modern. Featured in Horacio Fernandez, The Latin American Photobook. Despertar Lagunero is considered one of the finest Latin photobooks produced in the revolutionary spirit of the times. Gutmann, a German Jewish exile who came to Mexico in 1934 immediately joined LEAR. During the 1930s he was an influential journalist and editor with direct access to the president. Gutmann published photographs in the LEAR journal Frente a Frente (Face to Face), in various newspapers, as well as in Gustoavo Ortiz Hernan's novel Chimeneas (another standout photo book of the period).

Photographer Enrique (Heinrich) Gutmann (b. Lithuania 1906-1950 d. Mexico City) Jewish German exile, anti fascist activist, propagandist, journalist, editor, photographer and photo montage artist whose work conferred nationalism and promoted Mexico as progressive nation. Fleeing the Nazi regime in Germany, Gutmann emigrated to Mexico in 1934 a year after the book burnings and Reichstag fire in Germany. He emigrated with his wife of Mexican heritage, who had been compelled by the Reich Ministry to prove she was a pureblood German. His arrival in Mexico was marked by Lázaro Cárdenas's quest for a socialist democratic Mexico, a perfect refuge from European fascism and totalitarian regimes. Gutmann died in Mexico City at the age of 44 after being struck by a car.
