ANDRE MALRAUX | Museum Without Walls | PB | “A really great book”

Description: • For Your Consideration: • “MUSEUM WITHOUT WALLS” (Doubleday & Company, 1967) (Trade Paperback, First Edition Thus) • BY ANDRÉ MALRAUX • WITH 172 PHOTOGRAPHS • “MALRAUX’s history of art is not simply one of his best productions but perhaps one of the really great books of our time.” —EDMUND WILSON, THE NEW YORKER • “An underappreciated gem, that one starts dreaming of reading for the second time while still in the middle of the book. Erudite doesn't begin to describe it: MALRAUX deconstructs art history and glues it back together in a way that exposes new angles of settled art theory concepts under everyone's noses. The book connects the dots I never knew could be connected and gives a philosophical and humanistic perspective to the way seeing affects one's thinking. The art history will never seem lineal again after reading this piece of art philosophy, which, in a truly futuristic way gains back its relevance in the digital era.”— KOTRYNA ZUKAUSKAITE, KAYA-ILLUSTRATION (BLOG) • “MALRAUX’s MUSEUM WITHOUT WALLS idea is completely relevant to current digital technologies and how we use the internet and I believe there are also links with WALTER BENJAMIN’s Arcades Project and archive, with forms of collecting and archiving that take place beyond the museum structure.—JWOHO (BLOG) • “MALRAUX’s vision for a ‘museum without walls’ anticipated a new approach to art history that was comparative and global in scope.”—ART +IDEAS, THE GETTY (PODCAST) • “A towering achievement.” —JOSEPH FRANK • • For other details about this book, please see below. • TITLE: “MUSEUM WITHOUT WALLS” AUTHOR: ANDRÉ MALRAUX TRANSLATED BY: STUART GILBERT & FRANCIS PRICE ILLUSTRATIONS: YES. 172 BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS.

THANK YOU! ********************** /\___/\=•ᆺ•= “We believe it’s good business to be good to our customers.” *********** FLAPPINCAT’s HOUSE RULES ***********1. GENERAL TREATMENT. We enjoy treating FLAPPINCAT customers with honesty & respect & warmth because that’s how we like to be treated when we buy things on eBay.2. GENERAL ATTITUDE. We are grateful you choose to trust us with your business. We aim for that gratitude to permeate every part of how we engage with you.3. OUR DESCRIPTIONS. We describe every item we sell as clearly and accurately as we can. When it comes to describing condition, we tend toward being conservative. 4. PACKING & SHIPPING. We know from experience that items, when not thoughtfully packed, can be damaged during shipment. To avoid that real danger, FLAPPINCAT wraps & cushions your purchase(s) mindfully—and sometimes zealously—in a sturdy package. WARNING: In our zeal, we sometimes over-tape containers and you may need a penknife to unseal our shipments. NOTE: Though we often recycle shipping materials, we do NOT stint on protection. 5. OUR PRICES. We try to offer the lowest prices on eBay for items we sell. Even our most expensive offerings tend to be lower than what others are asking. “You could look it up!” —to quote baseball immortal JACK KEEFE. SUMMARY: We know you have many buying options on eBay. FLAPPINCAT tries to be distinctive by being accurate, mindful, and friendly. *********** How We GRADECONDITION ***********DETAILS. The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven't described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil! (*Get it?)POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math). EXTRA VISUALS. Although we include multiple photographs in our listings, we usually have others we could share with you. (These extra photos also help to establish a paper-trial in the rare case that an item is damaged en route to you.)*********** SHIPPING ***********Every item is individually priced for postage. That price can be found in the listing, not here. UNITED STATES: In the USA, we ship books via MEDIA MAIL.
