[TELINGATER, Solomon; KHLEBNIKOV, Alexander], PODSHIPNIKI, 1930s
Est: $6,000 - $8,000
[TELINGATER, Solomon; KHLEBNIKOV, Alexander], PODSHIPNIKI, 1930s [TELINGATER, Solomon (1903-1969), book design, and Khlebnikov, Alexandr (1897-1979), photography], PODSHIPNIKI (Ball Bearings). Moscow: Soyuzpodshipniksbyt (State Ball Bearings Distribution Trust), ca. 1930s. A deluxe edition, hardbound, upper board with silver lettering and an embossed figurative design. Quarto 24.5 x 17 cm. 240 pp. LOT NOTES This is an industrial arts masterpiece by Solomon Telingater and Alexander Khlebnikov. Moscow photographer Alexander Khlebnikov had won a number of major statewide competitions, and was a friend of Rodchenko and Stepanova. Like his teacher B. Podluzhskii, Khlebnikov sought to treat photography as an applied art, and is considered one of the pioneers of Soviet advertising photography. The book was published without a statement about the book designer and photographer, yet the attribution of this book to Solomon Telingater with Khlebnikov seems stylistically justified. Telingater continuously experimented with unusual materials in book design found here, was partial to using tabbed constructs and pictograms, and he loved to work on utilitarian books that seemed to inspire this work. From the late 1930s constructivist elements were hidden due to increasingly repressive monitoring. At this time such productions were safe to play with --- no art policeman would spend time inspecting trade catalogs, and clients could afford an investment into better quality book materials. Consider, for example, Telingater's work Kachestvennaia stal' SSSR (USSR Quality Steel) from 1935, also produced for an industrial customer. This is a beautiful book, worthy of the attribution to the oeuvre of this master designer in later years. OCLC does not locate any copies of this work worldwide. N.B.

Kholodkov acquired a multitude of books and artworks throughout the decades, meticulously labeling and archiving every single item. Many came directly from the most preeminent artists of the time, as well as from their families and estates. He also possessed a vast number of drawings from the famous collection of another avant-garde enthusiast, Nikolai Khardzhiev. After leaving the USSR in 1989 and settling in California, Viktor continued his work as a Soviet art dealer and critic, actively publishing various articles and contributing to several major Russian avant-garde exhibitions across the U.S., such as the 1991 exhibition Russia Under Fire in the 40s on the West Coast and the 1992 Guggenheim exhibition The Great Utopia: The Russian and Soviet Avant-Garde. Kholodkov also contributed to the archives of the biggest American istitutions. His unique selection of over 2000 Russian sheet music covers was acquired by The Library of Congress, and an extensive amount of material related to VKhUTEMAS is now at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
