Published by Rachel Adler Gallery, New York, for the exhibition held 7 February–7 March 1987. Stiff illustrated wrappers, 42 pages, 17 × 23 cm. 28 reproductions, including four in colour.

The publication places Vienna and New York alongside one another through the visual culture of the 1920s, bringing together artists including Erika Giovanna Klien and Hans Cornaro. Movement is treated not only as pictorial subject but as a method of organising the modern city: crowds, transport, advertising, and accelerated vision translated into fragmented forms.

Produced by a commercial gallery, the catalogue also records the secondary circulation of historical modernism. Works dispersed through private collections and dealerships are temporarily gathered, photographed, and reordered into an exhibition argument. The city reappears through objects; the exhibition survives through forty-two printed pages.

Condition: Good. General handling wear, rubbing and light soiling to wrappers; creasing and small abrasions at edges and corners. Internally clean and complete.

Securely packed; tracked UK and international shipping available.
