Paul Werner. The Red Museum. Art, economics and the ends of capital. New York: the Orange Press. 60 pp., hand-sewn paper binding.
First Museum, Inc. then Musée et Cie, then Museo, S.p.A., and finally my latest, The Red Museum, in which I further develop some ideas about a Marxist theory of art in praxis:

Fortunately there aren't too many publishers in America ready to publish anything with the word "Red" in the title, let alone a Rabelaisian mixture of puns and theory, philosophy and sexuality, with numerous colored blocks and images designed by the author.
And since I published the book as I wanted it, I'm also pricing it, as follows:
- Inmates, public libraries in the Third World and in indigenous nations: free on demand.
- Unemployed: $ 5.00.
- Getting by: $10.00.
- Institutions, Libraries, Doing well: $20.00.
- Rich: $40.00.
- Bastard : $100.00.
- Rich Bastard: $200.00.
Since I'm leaving for Vienna on May 26 I can accept cheques and money orders in euros on a European bank, unless you wish to paypal me directly. If you're good with a bookbinder's needle I'll send you the .pdf to bind yourself, but you don't really want this as an e-file, you'd lose too much in translation.
