New York: Robert Miller Gallery, 2010. Exhibition Announcement Cards. This is not a book. The original booklet issued for a performance by Patti Smith titled "An Evening of Words and Song" and held at the Robert Miller Gallery, NYC, January 22, 2010. The booklet has been SIGNED BY SMITH on the inside, first page, below her printed name. The performance was held during the run of an exhibition titled "Objects of Life," a collaborative project between Smith and Steven Sebring, held at the same gallery, January 6 - February 6, 2010. We know of three such performances at the gallery for which a booklet was produced; all are different in content though the design is the same. This one reproduces a text piece titled "Reflecting Robert" along with two of her photographs of Mapplethorpe's hands and one of he and Smith together. Stiff cream card, machine-folded twice to 6 pages (c-fold); 8 x 10 inches. Condition: A couple of light traces of soiling to the covers, otherwise Fine. Laid-in is the gallery press release for the exhibition. Will be sandwiched securely between stiff layers of cardboard and shipped the next business day. International postage may be less than quoted.

This copy of "M Train" has been SIGNED by Patti Smith on the title page (not on a Publisher's tipped-in page)! A quality production with beautiful boards. This is an unforgettable odyssey of a legendary artist, told through the prism of the cafes and haunts she has worked in around the world. It is a book Patti Smith has described as "a roadmap to my life." Braiding despair with hope and consolation, illustrated wiith her signature Polaroids, "M Train" is a meditation on travel, detective shows, literature, and coffee. It is a powerful, deeply moving book by one of the most remarkable multiplaform artists at work today.

"Larger than Madison Square Garden, as old as Chicago Stadium and boasting better sight-lines than Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, the St. Louis Arena never gained the national prominence of these famed entertainment venues. But, to the people of St. Louis who fondly knew the building as the Old Barn, the arena was the place where the memories of over four generations were formed. Oh, what memories they were. Two NHL franchises, three consecutive Stanley Cup finals, two minor league hockey franchises, two NHL All-Star games, Garry Unger's 662 consecutive games streak, Brett Hull's 87-goal season and the famed "Monday Night Miracle." And this was just hockey. Add a Basketball Association of America franchise, an ABA franchise, an NBA franchise, an NBA All-Star game, three professional indoor soccer franchises, and NCAA college hockey program and NCAA basketball championship games; toss in entertainers such as Luciano Pavarotti, Led Zeppelin and Bruce Springsteen; throw in one of the greatest tennis matches in the history of the Davis Cup, and you have one of the premier entertainment venues of all time. Yet, it was not the "big time" events which made this a landmark building for St. Louisans. It was the local events, whether Boy and Girl Scout shows, youth hockey games or ice skating events, which made the building so special to thousands. On any given night, every boy and girl could watch Eddie Olson, Bob Pettit or Brett Hull, and on the next morning play on the same surface on which their heroes had starred. It was amazing that a building built before the advent of rock shows and televised sports could be adapted to handle even the largest events. Fire, tornadoes and financial difficulties could never change its nature. Triumphs and tragedies, the spectacular and the unspectacular all brought the people of St. Louis together to rejoice, to despair and to be amazed. The glazed brick and wooden timbers are history, but the memories of the St. Louis Arena will live in the hearts and minds of the people of St. Louis - forever!" - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Patti Smith Jackson earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia, then returned to St. Louis, where she was born and raised, to pursue a career in communications.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A deeply moving and brilliantly idiosyncratic visual book of days by the National Book Award–winning author of Just Kids and M Train, featuring more than 365 images and reflections that chart Smith's singular aesthetic—inspired by her wildly popular Instagram.ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Variety, Pitchfork, PopSugarIn 2018, without any plan or agenda for what might happen next, Patti Smith posted her first Instagram photo: her hand with the simple message "Hello Everybody!" Known for shooting with her beloved Land Camera 250, Smith started posting images from her phone including portraits of her kids, her radiator, her boots, and her Abyssinian cat, Cairo. Followers felt an immediate affinity with these miniature windows into Smith's world, photographs of her daily coffee, the books she's reading, the graves of beloved heroes—William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Simone Weil, Albert Camus. Over time, a coherent story of a life devoted to art took shape, and more than a million followers responded to Smith's unique aesthetic in images that chart her passions, devotions, obsessions, and whims. Original to this book are vintage photographs: anniversary pearls, a mother's keychain, and a husband's Mosrite guitar. Here, too, are photos from Smith's archives of life on and off the road, train stations, obscure cafés, a notebook always nearby. In wide-ranging yet intimate daily notations, Smith shares dispatches from her travels around the world.With over 365 photographs taking you through a single year, A Book of Days is a new way to experience the expansive mind of the visionary poet, writer, and performer. Hopeful, elegiac, playful—and complete with an introduction by Smith that explores her documentary process—A Book of Days is a timeless offering for deeply uncertain times, an inspirational map of an artist's life.
