1. ALBUM DE LA REVOLUCION CUBANA 1952-1959. Textos, J.M. Picart, Mario
Jiménez; dibujos por Capdevila. La Habana: Revista Cinegráfico, (1959). 271 Mounted
illustrations (collectors cards) throughout, Original color illustrated wrappers . (small
bumping at margins corners o/w almost fine, without the normal chipping seen on most
copies and very clean). 23x30cm.
Originally issued as a supplement to the magazine "Cinegrafica" is a strikingly composed
piece of propaganda. This scarce item, in all its comic book art glory, was intended to
introduce children (and the semi-literate) to the revolutionary spirit of Cuba "sin
pretensiones literarias." Children were to assemble the album with the cards found in their
packages of Felices caramels. It was surely a laborious process as the album requires 271
cards to fill the captioned windows. (This example is complete.) The level of violence is
shocking: explosions, mangled wreckage, pools of blood, gunshot wounds and dead bodies
abound. There is even the hint of rape in one scene. The album also portrays the
revolutionary struggle and its participants in a heroic light. The cover depicts battle on air,
land, and sea with Fidel Castro in the foreground and the spirit of Lenin looming in the
clouds. There is a two-page spread of 16 of the top revolutionaries including Castro and
Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Opens with the Coup of March 10, in which Batista overthrew the
Prio regime. Fidel Castro first appears with card 17 and the attack on Cuartel Moncada in
Santiago de Cuba. Considering the fragility of the materials and its intended audience, this
example is in remarkable condition. Only one example appears in American Book Auction
Records.

20th century. He worked for major magazines, in the newspaper Excelsior. He was a
founding member of the Mexican magazines Mañana & Siempre!. During the rise of fascism,
Arias Bernal performed a myriad of anti-fascist cartons, which earned him the nickname of
"the cartoonist of the Second World War", and acquired great international prestige when

EDITION OF 20. What is real and what is not? Can you capture the universe in a puddle?
Dorfsman found in his home in Mexico a magnification lens with built-in focus a different
window to explore, decontextualize and compose reality. Thus, the microscope adapted to
the camera of his cell phone made the interior of the hospital room where his father spent
his last days become a constellation of shapes and textures to explore. Shot after shot, day
after day, the scaffolds of a cartography formed by spreadsheets of islands they could be
protozoa or planets or holes to another dimension. Toothpaste was suddenly transformed
into a blue milky way. And meanwhile, outside the frame circular on a black background, his
own personal world was fraying by leaps and bounds as his father, the first doctor who
scanned brains in Mexico, was going away. In January 2016, thousands of kilometers from
home, a San Diego garden became his new island to find landscapes in the leaves, in a few
grains of salt and pepper, in a zacate. A phone call., his father had stopped to exist.
Deception Island, the one we found in the Atlas, was discovered in 1820. It is in the
archipelago of the Shetland, north of Antarctica and it’s like a huge letter “C". In a word
game between disappointment, as it is translated incorrectly in Spanish, and the deception
that really means in English, Deception Island shows that precisely the imagination is the
antidote against the reigning reverie of a world where almost everything is already built,
closed, highly aestheticized. In the gap between fiction and reality, between representation
and what is represented between the archive and the allegory, this personal map appeals to
the ambiguity to wake up the imagination of the one who looks. Alex Dorfsman (Ciudad de
México, 1977) vive y trabaja en la Ciudad de México. Realizó la licenciatura en Artes

Alumnos 47 (Ciudad de México) (Excerpts translated from text by Sergio Rodríguez Blanco--
full text in Spanish below). En una época donde la utopía global dicta que todos somos
poetas o artistas interconectados democráticamente y que cualquier territorio es susceptible
de ser mapeado en alta resolución, Deception Island se reivindica contra el encantamiento
tecnológico mediante un arma insospechada de imaginación masiva: un pequeño
microscopio imperfecto marca Mi Alegría destinado a ser juguete hasta que cayó en manos
de Alex Dorfsman en la navidad de 2015. En la memoria, Dorfsman ya tenía la huella de
muchas islas recorridas durante los años previos: desde aquel archipiélago de Alaska
transitado por almas etílicas, hasta las cascadas imposibles de Islandia; desde el turismo
masivo de Hawaii, hasta la perfección bucólica de la pequeña Green Island, al sur de
Taiwan. ¿Qué es real y qué no lo es? ¿Se puede plasmar el universo en un charco? Esas
grandes preguntas que siempre suscitan los proyectos artísticos surgidos de sus viajes
insulares se reconfiguran, a escala de joyero o de miniaturista, en las imágenes logradas
con este aparatejo made in Mexico que le permitió vivir la paradoja de viajar sin moverse
demasiado. Como un naturalista del siglo XIX, Dorfsman halló en el lente casero de
aumento con foquito incorporado una ventana distinta para explorar, confiscar,
descontextualizar y componer la realidad. Así, el microscopio adaptado a la cámara de su
teléfono celular hizo que el interior de la habitación de hospital donde su padre pasaba sus
últimos días se convertiera en una constelación de formas y texturas por explorar. Disparo
tras disparo, día tras día, surgían los andamios de una cartografía conformada por planillas
de islas que podrían ser protozoos o planetas o agujeros a otra dimensión. La pasta de
dientes se transformaba, de pronto, en una vía láctea azul. Y mientras tanto, fuera del
encuadre circular sobre fondo negro, su propio mundo personal se iba deshilachando a
pasos agigantados a medida que su padre, el primer médico que escaneó cerebros en
México, se iba apagando. En enero de 2016, a miles de kilómetros de casa, un jardín de San
Diego se convirtió en su nueva isla para encontrar paisajes en las hojas, en unos granos de
sal y de pimienta, en un zacate. Como si estuviera haciendo tomografías del jardín, su mapa
personal registrado con tecnología rudimentaria sumó círculos cristalinos, terrosos y de
venas verdes. Una llamada de teléfono lo sacó de su viaje. La noticia llegó como un tiro de
hielo. Su padre había dejado de existir. Deception Island, la que encontramos en el Atlas,
fue descubierta en 1820. Está en el archipiélago de las Shetland, al norte de la Antártida y
es como una enorme letra “c”. En un juego de palabras entre decepción, como se traduce
incorrectamente en español, y el engaño que realmente significa en inglés, Deception Island
muestra que precisamente la imaginación es el antídoto contra la ensoñación reinante de un
mundo donde casi todo ya está construido, cerrado, altamente estetizado. En el intersticio
entre la ficción y la realidad, entre la representación y lo representado, entre el archivo y la
alegoría, este mapa personal apela a la ambigüedad para despertar la imaginación del que
mira. Movido por cierta melancolía de flâneur contemporáneo, Dorfsman es un recolector de
las huellas que alguien dejó ahí para encontrarlas y admirarlas infinitamente. La huella, dijo
Walter Benjamin, no es otra cosa que la aparición de una cercanía, por lejos que pueda
estar lo que la dejó atrás. No hace falta ir muy lejos para darse cuenta de que los viajes no
son los viajes, como ya escribió Pessoa. En realidad, el viaje es el viajero.(109903)

The late 1970s and early 1980s saw a return to political art drawing outside the established
art scene in Mexico. New media and techniques developed using stencils, mimeograph,
blueprints, photocopies and rubber stamps as a means of reproduction. Felipe Ehrenberg
was a prime influence in producing and organizing students and artists in producing these
unorthodox publications. His efforts opened the field for more collective initiatives, for
groups like SUMA, Proceso Pentágono, Entre Tierras, La Cocina Ediciones; No Grupo among
others. These groups emerged from different ideologies; some from conceptual art, while
others had more to do with social or political concerns. From these groups came
independent presses such as La Flor del Otro Día, Tinta Morada, and Tres Sirenas . This
collection contains material from this last group of presses and student collectives.

9. FILE REGARDING EMILIANO ZAPATA AND THE EJÉRCITO LIBERTADOR DEL
SUR WITH A SIGNED LETTER BY EMILIANO ZAPATA. 20 leaves of manuscripts and 22
leaves of mimeographed typescripts (many of them signed or annotated in manuscript),
most about 13 x 8 1/2 inches or shorter; Zapata letter with faint dampstaining down
vertical fold, a few items with minor edge wear, but generally well-preserved. Vp, July to
November 1912
Emiliano Zapata (1879-1919) was a key figure in the Mexican Revolution. Commanding the
Liberation Army of the South (Ejército Libertador del Sur) from his home state in Morelos,
he sought land reform and supported the 1911 overthrow of Porfirio Diaz. When Diaz's
successor Francisco Madero also proved uninterested in land reform, Zapata continued the
struggle. Offered here is a file relating to the Madero government's counter-insurgency
efforts against the Zapatistas. The highlight of this lot is a Letter Signed from Zapata to the
railroad offices of Mexico, and is a warning notice to the government, the railroad
companies and their employs and the passengers of future-armed attacks on all trains
leaving or entering Mexico City. Headed "Ejercito Libertador del Sur, Circular 210" and
dated Morelos, 25 August 1912, it begins "A las empresas ferrocarrileras, a las comerciantes
y pasajeros de trenes. La junta revolucionaria del movimiento armado del sur y del centro
de la República, en sesión verificada el día 15 del corriente acordó se haga conocer a las
empresas ferrocarrileras como lo hago, que del día 10 de Septiembre serán atacados por
mis fuerzas todo los trenes que salgan de la Ciudad de México a diferentes lugares de la
República." It notifies all railroad employees and passengers that any trains leaving Mexico
City after 10 September will be attacked by Zapata's revolutionary army. It closes
"'Reforma, Libertad, Justicia y Ley." The body of the letter is in a secretarial hand, over his
signature as "General en Jefe." Most extant Zapata signatures are from the 1914-19 period,
and we are aware of no earlier signatures on the market since 1986. His signature is tighter
and more tidy than his later efforts, but retains the distinctive hook swooping across from
the penultimate "t". The remainder of the file consists of reports from field agents to the
chief inspectors of the Mexican Police, Major Emiliano López Figueroa and Anastasio Bravo.
12
They discuss attempts to infiltrate Zapatista bases in Morelos; investigations of Zapatista
collaborators in Mexico City; and inspections of federal trains in search of smuggled
ammunition and weapons.several manuscript signed documents and typed documents
(memorandums, reports, letters, etc.) from diverse police agents (agentes) reporting
actions in train surveillance and apprehensions against members (including a priest in
Mexico City) of the armed movement and raids in their operations centers. Some
surveillance police memos report of trains coming from El Paso (Texas?) and crossing
through the states of Puebla and Morelos (Los Reyes, Teoyolucan, Matamoros, Jujutla,
Cuautla, Cuernavaca, etc.). Another manuscript document addressed to the “Inspector
General de Policia” asks for a credential or a safe pass “So that they do not commit abuses
or arbitrariness to my person, such as those committed in Cuernavaca” where despite
working for the Government, he was subject to cruel treatment (six days tied in a room and
4 months in prison).

illustrator and graphic novelist
Charles Glaubitz (Los Mochis,
Sinaloa 1973) The "niño-burro”
(boy-donkey) is a California
border character par excellence and has a close relationship with the American comics and
illustration. Is not an appropriation of the donkey-zebras of Tijuana, but a remake of the
same emblem of the city […] It is not a harmless animal that pleases the tourist. It is a
controversial character: childhood as a symbol of no domestication, of irreverence and,
paradoxically, of candor. In addition to traveling back and forth between San Diego and
Tijuana for many years, Charles Glaubitz regularly crosses borders and pushes boundaries
in his work. The Tijuana-based painter, illustrator and graphic novelist has a visual style
that employs iconic, cartoonish imagery such as Lucha Libre masks and skeleton-faced
Mickey Mouse figures, as well as children in spacesuits and “Zonkey” costumes (Zonkeys
are Tijuana Donkeys painted to look like Zebras). “During school, I was exposed to Joseph
Campbell who is this scholar and academic who talked about world mythologies and focused
not on their differences but on their similarities,” says Glaubitz, referring to his time at the
California College of Arts in Oakland.

Guzman, the photographer was very involved in Mexican culture and became a Mexican
national never returning to Germany. Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo friendship with him
opened the door to close contact with the art community in Mexico. In fact, one of the most
emotional photographs of the couple, published in Life magazine immediately after having
been taken in a bed at the English hospital was the kiss between the Rivera and Kahlo is of
his authorship. One of Guzmán's favorite subjects was to portray the artists at the moment
they are doing their work.

encuaderno en Aguascalientes el mes de los muertos del 2013. (Mr. Edgar “Moska”
Gómez)”--Colophon. The work of Jerónimo López Ramírez, better known as Dr. Lakra, is
characterized by irreverent and provocative images that transgress established norms,
leaving the viewer teetering between attraction and repulsion. While he is best known for
his drawings and paintings on appropriated posters, erotic magazines, and postcards, his
practice encompasses mural painting, collage and sculpture. Through these different
mediums he explores his interests in anthropology and ethnography, documenting his
fascination with the taboos, fetishes, myths and rituals of different cultures. An avid
collector of diverse objects, Lakra views the search for materials and images as an essential
aspect of his practice. His compositions combine historical references and contemporary
images, incorporating quotes from popular culture and intermingling them with diverse
religious and social iconographies. The way he juxtaposes and refashions these various
elements reveals a profound understanding of art history, as well as a subversive sense of
humor. Dr. Lakra dismantles and subverts dominant ideologies to question what is
considered civilized or barbaric, correct or incorrect, “high” or “folk” art. Dr. Lakra joined
the Taller de los Viernes from 1988 to 1991, where he began exploring painting, drawing
and collage. His most important exhibitions include: Dr. Lakra, Akvarelle Museet,
Skarhamm, Sweden (2015); Dr. Lakra and Toño Camuñas, Museo de los Pintores MUPO,

17. Lozza, Raúl. PROCESO ESPECIAL DEL
COLOR EN LA PERCEPTISMO. Handwritten
and signed original manuscript. No date (c.
1949). 27 pp.
This is a rare manuscript with some notations
by Raul Lozza. Raúl Lozza, an Argentine
painter, craftsman, and illustrator, was born
on October 27, 1911, in Alberti, Buenos Aires
Province. He was a founding member of the
Asociación de Arte Concreto-Invención, a non-
figurative group, as well as the creator of
perceptismo, a theory of color and open
structure in painting that he called
"cualimetría de la forma plana." To my
knowledge this has never been published.
"Raúl Lozza’s sixty-year painting career was
dedicated to the exploration and radical
development of the concept of Concretism as
defined by European painters before and
immediately after World War II. Lozza joined
the Buenos Aires–based Asociación Arte
Concreto-Invención (Concrete-Invention Art
Association) in 1945. Inspired by Piet
Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, and the Swiss
artist Max Bill, members of the Asociación
advocated for their own brand of what van
Doesburg called Art Concreto, which he defined as a kind of art “constructed of purely
plastic elements (lines, planes, surfaces, colors); devoid of references to nature, lyricism,
symbolism, and the unconscious; and with no significance beyond itself.”1 The Asociación’s
1946 “Manifesto Invencionista [Inventionist Manifesto]” of which Lozza was a signatory,
echoes van Doesburg’s call for a detachment from objects in nature, condemning “the
illusion of representation” in favor of what the group calls the “scientific aesthetics of
invention.”2 Lozza broke away from the Asociación two years later in order to create his
own movement, which he called “Perceptismo,” or “Perceptism” in English. Consisting of but
four people, two of whom were Lozza’s brothers, the group shared the Asociación’s
Concretist point of view but expanded it beyond the confines of the canvas and stretcher.
Its members advocated the complete rejection of the frame and the concomitant idea of a
painting as a window. Instead, they favored what Lozza called “walls of color,” which were
conceived of as actual walls painted in monochrome, upon which forms floated in relief. In
practice, Lozza’s concept of a continuous wall of color was translated into paintings with
smooth monochromic fields that traversed unbroken from one edge of the work’s surface to
another, but the desire for pictorial elements—particularly color—to escape the confines of
the canvas and colonize architectural space was prescient, presaging Neo-Concretism, the
Brazilian-born movement that, more than a decade later, would bring color and shape into
three-dimensional space." By (Laura Hoptman Posted on January 11, 2017

At La Duplicadora we decided to publish this artist's book thirty
years after its appearance and at the time of the Hindenburg
accident, our proposal was not to carry out a facsimile edition,
but to carry out a tribute." In cooperation with Yani, we
revitalized the first edition without lost its essence: we used the
original elements such as photographs, texts, stamps, seals,
envelopes and labels, in the same way that she did in the
eighties, the print run was 120 copies and all the folders are
signed and numbered. Printing was done with the two
risographs of our workshop and the folder was drawn up by Su
Yin Wong. The original started in May 1987 and completed in
March 1988, A Journey in Zeppelin is an intimate, personal
journey that explores Yani's family
history.The Hindenburg was one of the
best German zeppelins built in history;
it was designed to be able to cross the
Atlantic with almost a hundred
passengers, among them was the
paternal family of Yani Pecanins. On
May 6, 1937, after completing his route
and arriving in New Jersey, the airship

7 ½ x 9 ½ inches and two double-page foldouts, and two full bleed double-page spreads.
"This series was inspired by the life and work of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz a 17th century
Mexican nun who was one of the greatest poets and intellectuals of the American continent.
She created the most renowned salon of her time from behind the bars of her cloistered cell
and in that cell she studied science and philosophy, wrote poems, plays and music, and
championed women's rights to intellectual and spiritual freedom. In the end after resisting
valiantly for over twenty years, she was silenced by the Inquisition. It is my hope that these
images will help break that silence so that we may once again “hear her with our eyes” This
work is dedicate to women everywhere who, whatever their confines, prevail. They are out
hope....Sor Juana's work seem to me to be enormously relevant today, particularly for
women, because it is the story of a very courageous and gifted woman living and fighting
for intellectual and spiritual reedom,, not unlike the brave women in Iran and Africa, Ciudad
Juarez, or New Orleans for that matter, who are basically fighting the same fight across
continents and centuries-and who have still not won. It's also relevant as a cautionary tale
about the oppressive side of prevailing ideologies, whether it be the inquisition or the
Taliban..."Josephine Sacabo. During her 36-year career, her work has been featured in over
40 gallery and museum exhibition in the U.S., Europe and Mexico. She has been the
recipient of multiple awards and is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of
Modern Art, the George Eastman House, the International Center of Photography, the
Smithsonian Museum, The Library of Congress, among others. Sacabo divides her time
between New Orleans and Mexico. Both place inform her work.”

Condemning General Vicente Filisola for the Retreat of the Mexican Army. On the afternoon
of April 21, 1836, the Texan army, numbering around 900 men and led by General Sam
Houston, routed the larger Mexican army under General (and Mexican President) Antonio
Lopez de Santa Anna in eighteen minutes. The Mexican army was taken completely by
surprise, having been caught unawares during a siesta. The Mexicans lost nearly 700 men
with a further 730 having been taken prisoner, including Santa Anna himself. Many in Texas
called for the head of Santa Anna, but Houston used him to negotiate two treaties, one
public and one secret, which were signed at Velasco, Texas, on May 14, 1836. In essence,
the treaties ended hostilities in Texas and forced the complete withdrawal of Mexico's army
back across the Rio Grande River. Santa Anna's second in command, General Vicente
Filisola, was left with the Herculean task of withdrawing all Mexican forces from Texas
despite the opposition from his fellow officers. Ever the soldier, Filisola dutifully carried out
the orders of his superior. Naturally, the Mexican government did not recognize the Treaties
of Velasco, citing Santa Anna's status as a prisoner of war voided all authority he had to
make any deals, and ordered Filisola to remain on any land previously taken, but it was too
late. Filisola had ratified the treaties and Mexico's troops had already crossed the Nueces
River. The exhausted army would continue its retreat until it crossed the Rio Grande, finally
stopping at Matamoros. On June 12, 1836, Filisola was replaced by General José de Urrea.
he Mexican government publicly condemning Filisola for his retreat in an effort to assuage
the blow to 'national honor.' Titled 'News From Texas,' it begins with an official statement
from the government which reads, in full and in translation: 'Just when we thought things
were going so well with the war and we had practically succeeded in winning it, the
35
vanguard division led by our General President was defeated and our General President
captured. This demoralized the army and it retreated, thereby losing all the territory it had
gained thus far. General Vicente Filisola blindly followed the General President's orders to
retreat, and the Supreme Government forces arrived too late to prevent this from
happening. It is hard to believe that our General President actually wanted the army to
retreat, just when we were at the point of winning the war, as he was much too honorable
for that. It is disgraceful that General Filisola ordered the retreat, knowing full well that he
had the advantage. The enemy would interpret this as though our forces had fled the battle.
But what is even more outrageous, is that General Filisola accepted the enemy's cunningly-
crafted terms when he had no obligation to do so, unlike our General President, who was a
prisoner in fear for his life and recognized the Texan rebels as a legitimate 'Government,'
retreating from Texas without attempting a second assault that would certainly have been
successful. The Government will bring General Filisola to justice and let the Courts decide
his guilt or innocence. 'The Government is doing its duty to the public by publishing this
news, terrible though it may be, in addition to the following strict resolutions it has
considered itself honor-bound to pass. The Government believes there is yet time to bring
matters to a successful conclusion. 'The meritorious conduct of Generals José Urrea and
Francisco Vital Fernandez is worthy of recognition: the nation will be ever grateful for their
distinguished service, for as long as it has subjects as faithful and devoted to the
performance of their duties, the nation may rest in the knowledge that its glory remains
intact.' Following the report are 13 military orders dated May through June 1836 relating to
the appointment of Urrea in place of Filisola as General in Chief of the Texas Campaign.

A local edition of the decree approved December 30, 1836 by Justo Corro, as interim
president of Mexico, that sets forth a new arrangement of departments, creating the
Department of New Mexico, the Department of the Californias (alta y baja), and more. Most
notably, the Department of Coahuila y Tejas was divided into two departments. As Texas
was by that point under other management, this at least allowed Coahuila to function as a
normal department. Article 4 declares that a new capital for Tejas would be established
once order was restored. This printing was done by the department of San Luis de Potosí, 8
days after the original 30 December 1836 decree, by its governor Juan José Domínguez and

FIRST EDITION. RARE. In 1938 Torres-García finished
the famous "Monumento Cósmico" in the Parque Rodó
and published this title, which he originally created a
manuscript illustrated by hand and which suggests that
the Abstract Man is on the margins of all time and
represents the universal civilizations most admired by
him. The Cosmos lies in the conflict between man and
the individual. “In 1938, when Torres-Garcia wrote “The
Tradition of Abstract Man’ he had been living in Uruguay
for four years. He had returned from Europe to his
native country after an absence of forty-five years. In
Montevideo he soon realized that the artistic atmosphere
was conservative and provincial but that young artist
were eager to learn about the latest art developments in Paris. He formed AAC (Association
of Constructivist Art) in 1935, and in 1944, the Taller Torres-Garcia. There, constructivist
art as well as traditional methods of drawing and painting from the model were taught and
studied. ‘The Tradition of Abstract Man’ is the result of the teaching and lecturing that
Torres-Garcia did during this period. It is a condensed account of his essential
ideas…Torres-Garcia’s concept of Abstract Man, spiritual man, derived from Hellenism,
which, for him embodied the highest human ideals in all the arts as well as philosophy…It
was published in a facsimile of his own handwriting; the size of words and the use of capital
letters are evidence of the importance he gave to a particular word or idea” (Ceclia Buzio de

EDITION 1/3. The concept of
the project has to do with the
mistreatment of women and especially with domestic violence that occurs in all social
classes, but with different situations. In this case it is about denouncing this problem in the
Mexican lower middle class.
Inspired by Alejo Carpentier's
(Havana, Cuba, 1904-1980) idea
of "Really Wonderful", the artist
intended to show how, in most
cases, women are forced by the
social context and their family,
especially by the mother, to fulfill
a fatal destiny. In the specific
context of this project, it consists
of the following: With "great
enthusiasm" the mother
accompanies the daughter to buy
the wedding dress in the bridal
market in the neighborhood of La
Lagunilla; the wedding is done
with all the waste and possible
excesses that will surely be well above the family's economic possibilities, aggravating the
economic situation of this. As for the bride, she will fulfill her fatal fate or fatal circle
consisting of marrying, having many children, being mistreated by an alcoholic husband,
ending up abandoned in a deplorable economic situation and with life practically destroyed,
for finally, she in turn , take their own daughter to the same market to choose a wedding
dress, to close the circle that will be transmitted for generations.
