Collection apparently stored in a basement but no active mold. Some oversize materials were folded but these have been put in oversize folders or boxes and a few had preservation attention. Mylar L-sleeves have been used to protect some fragile materials.","Most of the collection is open for research. The single exception is a bank book for an account owned by Petra Vogt.","The bank book belonging to Petra Vogt, 1977-1978, has been removed and restricted until her death. It has been placed in the control folder for this collection in a sealed envelope. The bank book is from the Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechsel-Bank (short form: Hypo-Bank).","Materials arrived organized by the dealer into the following four series and additional subseries: Series I. Correspondence; Series II. Petra Vogt files; Subseries II.1 Notebooks; Subseries II.2 Artworks and artist files; Subseries II.3 Collage files Series III. Ira Cohen and Bardo Matrix; Subseries III.1 Ira Cohen materials; Subseries III.2 Bardo Matrix publications; Subseries III.3 Flyers, ephemera, broadsides; Series IV Photographs.","This arrangement has been simplified into three series, 1) Volumes, Journals and Notebooks, chiefly by Petra Vogt; 2) Correspondence, Artwork and Topical Files; and 3) Photographs, chiefly by Ira Cohen. These series contain oversize materials that have been placed in more appropriate containers but are listed in the appropriate series.","Much of this biographical and historical information was taken from the dealer description of the collection.","Petra Vogt was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1943, during a particularly devastating year of World War Two airstrikes on the city. She took acting classes in Munich and then returned to Berlin, where she saw The Living Theatre for the first time and decided to join the group in 1962. She traveled and performed extensively with The Living Theatre, including in the performance, \"Paradise Now.\" She met Ira Cohen at its New Haven show (phone conversation between Ira Cohen and Carey Loren, which was transcribed on \"Blastitude, Eternity Blast Special,\" no. 13. August 2002).","In 1971, Vogt and Cohen finally landed in Kathmandu, after extensive traveling through Morocco, Tunisia, Afghanistan, and India. Living in Kathmandu from around 1972 to 1978, Vogt was an artistic, photographic, and social muse to partner Cohen, as well as Nepali hippies including Jimmy Thapa and Trilochan Shrestha.  While in Nepal, she produced numerous notebooks of poetry, diaries, and artworks, while illustrating Bardo Matrix Starstreams publications, as well as Cohen's work, including \"Poems from the Cosmic Crypt.\"","While Vogt is peripherally featured in the archives of Ira Cohen, Angus MacLise, Dana Young, and other Bardo Matrix collaborators, her own contributions to this important facet of the countercultural poetics scene are significantly understudied. While Mark Liechty's \"Far Out: Countercultural Seekers and the Tourist Encounter in Nepal\" (University of Chicago Press, 2017), acknowledges her centrality to the scene and describes her role in organizing events, performances, and generally contributing to the dramatically-dressed scene in Kathmandu, no further articles or monographs solidify the contributions of her writings, artworks, or aesthetic.","During the 1970s, Vogt was known for her foreboding dark outfits and makeup; her aesthetic marks her as an unheralded progenitor of goth style, which began to be codified in music scenes around the same time. Photographs of her from her time in Nepal in the 1970s were featured in a recent Photo Kathmandu festival in 2018. She continues to write and make art under a different name in Germany.","Ira Cohen (1935–2011) was a noted poet, publisher, filmmaker, and photographer, known especially for his Mylar photographs, which he created between 1968 and 1971 in New York City. These works were inspired by Jack Smith and Bill Devore's black light experimentation, and required subjects to enter his \"Mylar Chamber,\" a makeshift room comprised of the reflective film, which Cohen would then photograph to produce distorted and psychedelic images of his subjects.","This produced iconic images that Life magazine in 1969 said captured the \"euphoric distortions of hallucinogenics\" during the countercultural era, with participants such as Jimi Hendrix, William Burroughs, Jack Smith, Brion Gysin, Angus MacLise, Paul Bowles, and Petra Vogt, among many others. These photographs have been exhibited in the 2006 \"Summer of Love\" exhibition organized by the Tate Liverpool and featured at the Whitney Museum, and are the subject of a new book, \"Ira Cohen: Into the Mylar Chamber\" which was published by Fulgar Press in 2019 with text by Ira Cohen, Timothy Baum, Ian MacFadyen, Alice Farley, Ira Landgarten, and Thurston Moore, and edited by Allan Graubard.","Kathmandu, Nepal, held a vibrant expatriate community of poets, musicians, artists, and spiritual seekers in the 1970s, in large part due to the Bardo Matrix collective — a group that began in Boulder, Colorado as The Experimental Cinema Group, and initially included Angus MacLise, John Chick, Dana Young, and Ira Cohen. Bardo Matrix Press, and especially the Starstreams Poetry Series, created collaborations with Beat and countercultural poets and local artisans to produce books informed by traditional Nepali and Tibetan traditions, sharing new poetic ideas.","Before 1971, when Ira Cohen and Petra Vogt arrived, a small group of expatriates had already become involved making woodblock prints to sell to tourists. Cohen recounts the presence of Ian Alsop, Francis Brooks, and Simon White, who \"were to play an important role in the development of small press publications by myself, my old friend and comrade, poet-calligrapher, Angus MacLise, and other poets who quickly formed a community in the Kathmandu Valley.\"","MacLise's work with Piero Heliczer on Dead Language Press, \"making unique books from tree bark or fashioning long horizontal handmade books after the Tibetan or Indian style,\" proved influential: it was Angus who, \"working with local craftsmen and woodblock artists, really began the great rice paper adventure.\" (Ira Cohen, \"The Great Rice Paper Adventure: Kathmandu, 1971–1977.\" New Observations no. 106, May/June 1995. Online at Big Bridge, no. 5.)","In Kathmandu, on so-called \"Freak Street\" or Jhocchen Tole, John Chick opened a bookshop named \"The Spirit Catcher.\" The shop was open around 1972–1979, and provided a weekly forum for poetry readings, music, and community. This shop cemented the centrality of the roles of Vogt, Cohen, Chick, and MacLise in the countercultural community abroad, and became both a tourist and local destination (Prawash Gautam, \"How a used bookstore in Kathmandu's Jhochhen captured the spirit of the hippie movement,\" \"The Kathmandu Post,\" December 18, 2018).","These photographs were originally stored in three binders with descriptions of the contents provided by the dealer. They had been removed from the binders and placed in folders when the processor received them but the order of the contents has been maintained, with the binder numbers.","This collection contains journals, artworks, correspondence, and photographs that illuminate the life and work of Petra Vogt, a poet, actress, artist, and model, known for her involvement with the Living Theatre, Ira Cohen, and the Bardo Matrix Press during the 1960s and 1970s. Of particular interest are thirty-four journals, chiefly by Petra Vogt, with poetry, prose works, diary entries, and intricate rapidograph drawings along with collage, paintings, and other artworks within; about 150 artworks by Vogt, as well as handmade books of Ira Cohen's photographs and collage, 850 photographs by Ira Cohen, including those from his Mylar photography series and 60 pieces of correspondence and post cards addressed to Vogt and Cohen.","The \"Adressen-Telefon\", a small silver address book, with Petra's name inscribed on the front page, contains some addresses in New York, Paris, and Munich, with phone numbers, two calling or business cards, one for Hugo Vogt in Stuttgart, and a snapshot of Petra Vogt, all loose inside the volume.","The second volume is a small black address book, which includes a handful of addresses and phone numbers of friends, stamped with P. and B. Abele, Stuttgart, Buchenstrasse, with a calling card for Pierre Fabricius and a small snapshot of a trailer with the name \"Tony\" on the back (volumes are numbered 1-2 in dealer description of notebooks).","Volumes include one small black and red snakeskin-patterned address book, with addresses and phone numbers, notes concerning Ira Cohen, calculations, grocery lists, and journalist writings, with a single page dated 1977, and a small black \"addressen\" book with many addresses containing a purple and black drawing on the inside back cover (volumes are numbered 3-4 in dealer description of notebooks).","The small black diary has \"Kwality\" stamped on the cover, and the first entry begins on July 22, 1973, with approximately 133 pages of poems, with some celebrating births and deaths in the community. The volume includes detailed dated diary entries, including discussions of how Petra Vogt prepared for photography sessions, as well as collages that accompany writings, artworks, and small portions of an unidentified script. It also includes autograph writings by Ira Cohen in the beginning, as well as a lock of Petra Vogt's hair tied with purple thread (volume is numbered 8 in dealer description of notebooks).","The other volume is one thin diary  with brown wrappers covering the period from September through November 1973, with a multi-page essay on \"meta darkness\" and the qualities and rights of the counterculture generation, hand-colored and inscribed back pages in purple ink, illustrations, and writings about or a prayer to Chandeen (item is numbered 6 in dealer description of notebooks).","The diaries include one small thick black cloth diary/calendar, with frequent journal entries for January 1974 (numbered 5 in dealer description of notebooks)and an undated small handmade diary covered in silver paper, with about forty pages of poetry and small colored artworks (numbered 7 in dealer description of notebooks).","The third diary is a notebook, February-March, 1974?, with lined pages and no cover, containing approximately sixteen pages of poetry, including drawings. This volume also contains a transcription of a poem, \"Light Breaks Where No Sun Shines\" by Dylan Thomas (numbered 13 in dealer description of notebooks).","The black sketchbook contains approximately 36 pages of highly detailed rapidograph drawings with watercolor and collage. It also includes an autograph poem \"XZAN,\" signed by Ira Cohen, with his glyph, and a signed sketch for Petra Vogt by Dana Young laid in, with the title \"Stolen Pen? Drawing for Petra\" (numbered 9 in dealer description of notebooks).","The notebook consisting of a black wrapper has loose collaging materials laid in, which includes gold and other colored papers, clippings, drawings, photographs, tarot cards, and a blank postcard (item numbered 14 in dealer description of notebooks).","The small handmade art journal or diary in lokta paper wrappers has a collaged cover of flowers and additional lokta papers. It matches a larger book version in Oversize Folder 8. The volume contains preparations for collages, with a few collages laid in, and is stamped throughout with the Bardo Matrix woodcut of a swan that also appears in the Bardo Matrix ephemera folders (item is numbered 10 in the dealer description of notebooks).","The small journal in brown paper wrappers, printed for the 1976 calendar year, contains extensive prose and poetic reflections, pen and ink drawings, collages, along with names and addresses. Laid in, there is a prescription for Gelonida (a painkiller), a bank withdrawal slip, a business card, and clippings from comics. There are approximately 56 pages of top-to-bottom text and artwork (numbered 11 in dealer description of notebooks).","The journal has red cloth over paper wrappers, with entries dating 1977 to 1979, with extensive addresses, phone numbers and names noted (including Ira Cohen). The handwriting in this journal is not Petra Vogt's.","The journal was likely kept by a person named John who was staying with Paul Gyss and possibly Petra Vogt at some point. The person writes diaristic details, with a few poems, and includes reflections about drug use, Ted Clarke, Jimmy Shelling, Paul Gyss, George [Andrews?], Maggie, and others, as well as details about travels in Goa, India, Kathmandu, and Pokara (Pokhara?), Nepal.","The author turned 37 on August 1, 1979, writing \"unless I O.D. or walk into the river tonight\". Though not Petra Vogt's, this is an important item in fleshing out the daily life in Kathmandu (numbered 12 in dealer description of notebooks).","The notebook has a gold foil cover and a black fleur-de-lis pattern and was likely used as a music study book, with approximately six leaves of musical annotations (likely traditional music from Nepal), and two loose photographs of unidentified musicians (numbered 15 in dealer description of notebooks).","Most of the handwriting in the volume is not Petra Vogt's, except for four pages of drawings and an autograph poem with \"July 1974\" dated at the top of the page. The diary is in black plastic wrappers, with 81 leaves of poetry in purple, black and green ink, generally fair copies of work. Two poems are dedicated to Petra Vogt, \"To the Friend\" and \"Homecoming.\" One poem \"Eros\" is possibly by Petra Vogt but is in the handwriting of another author. The author of most of the poetry may be named \"Arione\" (numbered 18 in the dealer description of notebooks).","The diary in black paper wrappers includes ten pages of translation practice and three pages of drawings (likely not by Petra Vogt). Formerly laid in are two items, a typed or printed sheet on handling grave sorrow and a mimeographed dramatic script of Elektra in German, in five leaves, with holograph annotations which are currently placed in the back of the folder (numbered 19 in dealer description of notebooks).","This thick journal is highly annotated, beginning in August 1978, with daily writings on spiritual work, illustrations, collages, poetry, other writings and photographs with some of the items laid in. One of the drawings has been removed, put in mylar and placed in the back of the folder (numbered 16 in dealer description of notebooks).","This thick journal has lace and printed script reading \"Petra Vogt\" on the inside cover. This is one of the most heavily annotated and collaged items of the series, containing references to the \"Black Ashram,\" notes on Gregory Corso, a holograph poem by Roberto Francisco Valenza (a Bardo Matrix author) which is illustrated by Petra Vogt, an autograph poem by Iris [Gaynor] (another Bardo Matrix author), autograph poems by Ira Cohen, and autograph poems by others.","It contains lengthy journal entries, extending over multiple pages, an anguished draft of a letter about love, leaving, knowledge, and truth. It also includes poetry, songs and lyrics, collages, original artworks, and other writings. The journal begins on September 30, 1976 (numbered 17 in dealer description of notebooks).","The lined notebook was formerly laid in a black zippered notebook in poor condition. It includes both musical notations and songs with titles (numbered 20 in dealer description of notebooks).","There are several loose items with the notebook placed in an insert in the back of the folder.","The notebook is blank except for a single poem, possibly in the hand of Ira Cohen\n(item numbered 21 in dealer description of notebooks).","The notebook pages are bound together with a kettle-stitched binding and includes about fourteen pages of watercolor and black ink drawings, some accompanied by poetry. Some printed items are laid in for use in collages (numbered 22 in dealer description of notebooks).","This thick art book has a silver cover with reflective gems and stamped filigree. The book contains silver collaging papers from a variety of sources, with a few collages on reflective black-painted paper, that include a small photograph of Ira Cohen and Petra Vogt and a larger one of a skull figure. It also contains a short autograph note on a greeting card from Victoria to Ira Cohen and Petra Vogt, dated December 18, 1974.","The book includes silver collaging paper, blank paper, post cards and other material for illustrations laid in the book. The folder of excess silver sheets was laid in as material intended for these artworks. All loose items have been removed from the book and placed in a second and third folder. The third folder contains pages of Nepali script which have delicate sheets of silver gilt between them (numbered 23 in dealer description of notebooks).","The book includes ten heavily illustrated ink drawings with a rapidograph pen, paint, and collage (numbered 24 in dealer description of notebooks).","The journal includes twenty-five pages, mostly of writing, with pen and ink drawings, and collages, which mentions Anjuna, Goa, India and the year 1975 (numbered 25 in dealer description of notebooks).","The journal has a black lokta paper cover with colored ink decoration. The volume contains an eight-page poem illustrated in pen and ink and collage, possibly titled \"Think Galactic or Your World is Lost\" (numbered 26 in dealer description of notebooks).","The diary mentions \"Black Ashram Publications\" in a drawing, perhaps as a possible idea for a press by Petra Vogt. It includes diary entries, other writings, titled poems, photographs, drawings, and purple, black, and silver artwork throughout the diary (numbered 27 in dealer description of notebooks).","The volume has a comic-based collage on a paper cover. The item includes about thirty-one pages of photographs, hand drawn illustrations, generally with comics-derived collages on recto or verso, and writing in pen accompanying it.","It also contains poems, including a few in a hand other than Petra Vogt's. There are many entries in short succession, with the entirety of the journal occurring between September 26 and October 28, 1972.","They include references to Bill and Charles [Henry], daily routines, as well as a description of the \"Blood Feast\" (likely Dashain, celebrated in the Hindu religion at approximately this time of year). It has three loose sheets laid in (numbered 28 in dealer description of notebooks).","The cover of the notebook is illustrated by Petra Vogt with a black, grey, and white spectral figure. This forty-four page volume begins with an entry dated February 1973, and features poetry and diaristic entries accompanied by collage, photographs and rapidograph illustrations throughout.","One of the most richly and creatively designed of the notebooks, which includes multi-page works and completed, titled poems. On the inside back cover, notes specify Dr. P.H. Martin transparent watercolors, likely used in Petra Vogt's work: \"Cherise, Prussian Blue, Red, Cadmium Orange\" (numbered 29 in dealer description of notebooks).","The sketchbook includes a few pencil sketches and watercolor paintings, some of which may be by a friend (numbered 30 in dealer description of notebooks).","The sketchbook is made from two folio structures sewn together and includes a few texts, hand drawn illustrations, watercolor paintings, and rapidograph art (numbered 31 in dealer description of notebooks).","It includes pen and ink drawings and handwritten notes (numbered 32 in dealer description of notebooks).","The sketchbook has a collage of a colored mountain scene, made with handmade paper, on the front. It includes calligraphic works, evocative of Sanskrit writing. (numbered 33 in dealer description of notebooks).","The large handmade portfolio contains individual journal entries, artwork, poems, and collages (Series 2.1 in dealer description).","The large folder of handmade paper contains circa 110 leaves and consists mostly of writings, with collage and artwork at times. The leaves are made of various types of paper and the portfolio contains collage work (including material likely related to a handmade photography book, with purple tissue paper), poetry, and journal entries. They are arranged mostly by date, without a year, excepting a grouping of September-October 1972 entries.","The portfolio (10 ¾ x 14) contains this poem:","This grand show is eternal \nIt is always sunrise somewhere \nThe dew is never all dried at once \nA shower is forever falling \nVapor is ever rising \nEternal sunrise eternal sunset \nEternal dawn and gloaming \nOn sea and contents and islands \nEach in its turn \nAs the round earth rolls.","Also present is a handwritten copy of Gerald Manley Hopkins' poem \"Spelt from Sybil's Leaves.\" Other poems include \"Skull Music\" inscribed to Petra, dated January 2, 1973, and other untitled and undated poems.","A handmade black lokta portfolio contains around 26 large artworks, including rapidograph pen and ink drawings, color paintings, pen and white gouache artworks on black paper, and mixed media.

She took acting classes in Munich and then returned to Berlin, where she saw The Living Theatre for the first time and decided to join the group in 1962. She traveled and performed extensively with The Living Theatre, including in the performance, \"Paradise Now.\" She met Ira Cohen at its New Haven show (phone conversation between Ira Cohen and Carey Loren, which was transcribed on \"Blastitude, Eternity Blast Special,\" no. 13.

Living in Kathmandu from around 1972 to 1978, Vogt was an artistic, photographic, and social muse to partner Cohen, as well as Nepali hippies including Jimmy Thapa and Trilochan Shrestha.

Mylar L-sleeves have been used to protect some fragile materials.","Most of the collection is open for research. The single exception is a bank book for an account owned by Petra Vogt.","The bank book belonging to Petra Vogt, 1977-1978, has been removed and restricted until her death. It has been placed in the control folder for this collection in a sealed envelope. The bank book is from the Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechsel-Bank (short form: Hypo-Bank).","Materials arrived organized by the dealer into the following four series and additional subseries: Series I. Correspondence; Series II. Petra Vogt files; Subseries II.1 Notebooks; Subseries II.2 Artworks and artist files; Subseries II.3 Collage files Series III. Ira Cohen and Bardo Matrix; Subseries III.1 Ira Cohen materials; Subseries III.2 Bardo Matrix publications; Subseries III.3 Flyers, ephemera, broadsides; Series IV Photographs.","This arrangement has been simplified into three series, 1) Volumes, Journals and Notebooks, chiefly by Petra Vogt; 2) Correspondence, Artwork and Topical Files; and 3) Photographs, chiefly by Ira Cohen. These series contain oversize materials that have been placed in more appropriate containers but are listed in the appropriate series.","Much of this biographical and historical information was taken from the dealer description of the collection.","Petra Vogt was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1943, during a particularly devastating year of World War Two airstrikes on the city. She took acting classes in Munich and then returned to Berlin, where she saw The Living Theatre for the first time and decided to join the group in 1962. She traveled and performed extensively with The Living Theatre, including in the performance, \"Paradise Now.\" She met Ira Cohen at its New Haven show (phone conversation between Ira Cohen and Carey Loren, which was transcribed on \"Blastitude, Eternity Blast Special,\" no. 13. August 2002).","In 1971, Vogt and Cohen finally landed in Kathmandu, after extensive traveling through Morocco, Tunisia, Afghanistan, and India. Living in Kathmandu from around 1972 to 1978, Vogt was an artistic, photographic, and social muse to partner Cohen, as well as Nepali hippies including Jimmy Thapa and Trilochan Shrestha.  While in Nepal, she produced numerous notebooks of poetry, diaries, and artworks, while illustrating Bardo Matrix Starstreams publications, as well as Cohen's work, including \"Poems from the Cosmic Crypt.\"","While Vogt is peripherally featured in the archives of Ira Cohen, Angus MacLise, Dana Young, and other Bardo Matrix collaborators, her own contributions to this important facet of the countercultural poetics scene are significantly understudied. While Mark Liechty's \"Far Out: Countercultural Seekers and the Tourist Encounter in Nepal\" (University of Chicago Press, 2017), acknowledges her centrality to the scene and describes her role in organizing events, performances, and generally contributing to the dramatically-dressed scene in Kathmandu, no further articles or monographs solidify the contributions of her writings, artworks, or aesthetic.","During the 1970s, Vogt was known for her foreboding dark outfits and makeup; her aesthetic marks her as an unheralded progenitor of goth style, which began to be codified in music scenes around the same time. Photographs of her from her time in Nepal in the 1970s were featured in a recent Photo Kathmandu festival in 2018. She continues to write and make art under a different name in Germany.","Ira Cohen (1935–2011) was a noted poet, publisher, filmmaker, and photographer, known especially for his Mylar photographs, which he created between 1968 and 1971 in New York City. These works were inspired by Jack Smith and Bill Devore's black light experimentation, and required subjects to enter his \"Mylar Chamber,\" a makeshift room comprised of the reflective film, which Cohen would then photograph to produce distorted and psychedelic images of his subjects.","This produced iconic images that Life magazine in 1969 said captured the \"euphoric distortions of hallucinogenics\" during the countercultural era, with participants such as Jimi Hendrix, William Burroughs, Jack Smith, Brion Gysin, Angus MacLise, Paul Bowles, and Petra Vogt, among many others. These photographs have been exhibited in the 2006 \"Summer of Love\" exhibition organized by the Tate Liverpool and featured at the Whitney Museum, and are the subject of a new book, \"Ira Cohen: Into the Mylar Chamber\" which was published by Fulgar Press in 2019 with text by Ira Cohen, Timothy Baum, Ian MacFadyen, Alice Farley, Ira Landgarten, and Thurston Moore, and edited by Allan Graubard.","Kathmandu, Nepal, held a vibrant expatriate community of poets, musicians, artists, and spiritual seekers in the 1970s, in large part due to the Bardo Matrix collective — a group that began in Boulder, Colorado as The Experimental Cinema Group, and initially included Angus MacLise, John Chick, Dana Young, and Ira Cohen. Bardo Matrix Press, and especially the Starstreams Poetry Series, created collaborations with Beat and countercultural poets and local artisans to produce books informed by traditional Nepali and Tibetan traditions, sharing new poetic ideas.","Before 1971, when Ira Cohen and Petra Vogt arrived, a small group of expatriates had already become involved making woodblock prints to sell to tourists. Cohen recounts the presence of Ian Alsop, Francis Brooks, and Simon White, who \"were to play an important role in the development of small press publications by myself, my old friend and comrade, poet-calligrapher, Angus MacLise, and other poets who quickly formed a community in the Kathmandu Valley.\"","MacLise's work with Piero Heliczer on Dead Language Press, \"making unique books from tree bark or fashioning long horizontal handmade books after the Tibetan or Indian style,\" proved influential: it was Angus who, \"working with local craftsmen and woodblock artists, really began the great rice paper adventure.\" (Ira Cohen, \"The Great Rice Paper Adventure: Kathmandu, 1971–1977.\" New Observations no. 106, May/June 1995. Online at Big Bridge, no. 5.)","In Kathmandu, on so-called \"Freak Street\" or Jhocchen Tole, John Chick opened a bookshop named \"The Spirit Catcher.\" The shop was open around 1972–1979, and provided a weekly forum for poetry readings, music, and community. This shop cemented the centrality of the roles of Vogt, Cohen, Chick, and MacLise in the countercultural community abroad, and became both a tourist and local destination (Prawash Gautam, \"How a used bookstore in Kathmandu's Jhochhen captured the spirit of the hippie movement,\" \"The Kathmandu Post,\" December 18, 2018).","These photographs were originally stored in three binders with descriptions of the contents provided by the dealer. They had been removed from the binders and placed in folders when the processor received them but the order of the contents has been maintained, with the binder numbers.","This collection contains journals, artworks, correspondence, and photographs that illuminate the life and work of Petra Vogt, a poet, actress, artist, and model, known for her involvement with the Living Theatre, Ira Cohen, and the Bardo Matrix Press during the 1960s and 1970s. Of particular interest are thirty-four journals, chiefly by Petra Vogt, with poetry, prose works, diary entries, and intricate rapidograph drawings along with collage, paintings, and other artworks within; about 150 artworks by Vogt, as well as handmade books of Ira Cohen's photographs and collage, 850 photographs by Ira Cohen, including those from his Mylar photography series and 60 pieces of correspondence and post cards addressed to Vogt and Cohen.","The \"Adressen-Telefon\", a small silver address book, with Petra's name inscribed on the front page, contains some addresses in New York, Paris, and Munich, with phone numbers, two calling or business cards, one for Hugo Vogt in Stuttgart, and a snapshot of Petra Vogt, all loose inside the volume.","The second volume is a small black address book, which includes a handful of addresses and phone numbers of friends, stamped with P. and B. Abele, Stuttgart, Buchenstrasse, with a calling card for Pierre Fabricius and a small snapshot of a trailer with the name \"Tony\" on the back (volumes are numbered 1-2 in dealer description of notebooks).","Volumes include one small black and red snakeskin-patterned address book, with addresses and phone numbers, notes concerning Ira Cohen, calculations, grocery lists, and journalist writings, with a single page dated 1977, and a small black \"addressen\" book with many addresses containing a purple and black drawing on the inside back cover (volumes are numbered 3-4 in dealer description of notebooks).","The small black diary has \"Kwality\" stamped on the cover, and the first entry begins on July 22, 1973, with approximately 133 pages of poems, with some celebrating births and deaths in the community. The volume includes detailed dated diary entries, including discussions of how Petra Vogt prepared for photography sessions, as well as collages that accompany writings, artworks, and small portions of an unidentified script. It also includes autograph writings by Ira Cohen in the beginning, as well as a lock of Petra Vogt's hair tied with purple thread (volume is numbered 8 in dealer description of notebooks).","The other volume is one thin diary  with brown wrappers covering the period from September through November 1973, with a multi-page essay on \"meta darkness\" and the qualities and rights of the counterculture generation, hand-colored and inscribed back pages in purple ink, illustrations, and writings about or a prayer to Chandeen (item is numbered 6 in dealer description of notebooks).","The diaries include one small thick black cloth diary/calendar, with frequent journal entries for January 1974 (numbered 5 in dealer description of notebooks)and an undated small handmade diary covered in silver paper, with about forty pages of poetry and small colored artworks (numbered 7 in dealer description of notebooks).","The third diary is a notebook, February-March, 1974?, with lined pages and no cover, containing approximately sixteen pages of poetry, including drawings. This volume also contains a transcription of a poem, \"Light Breaks Where No Sun Shines\" by Dylan Thomas (numbered 13 in dealer description of notebooks).","The black sketchbook contains approximately 36 pages of highly detailed rapidograph drawings with watercolor and collage. It also includes an autograph poem \"XZAN,\" signed by Ira Cohen, with his glyph, and a signed sketch for Petra Vogt by Dana Young laid in, with the title \"Stolen Pen? Drawing for Petra\" (numbered 9 in dealer description of notebooks).","The notebook consisting of a black wrapper has loose collaging materials laid in, which includes gold and other colored papers, clippings, drawings, photographs, tarot cards, and a blank postcard (item numbered 14 in dealer description of notebooks).","The small handmade art journal or diary in lokta paper wrappers has a collaged cover of flowers and additional lokta papers. It matches a larger book version in Oversize Folder 8. The volume contains preparations for collages, with a few collages laid in, and is stamped throughout with the Bardo Matrix woodcut of a swan that also appears in the Bardo Matrix ephemera folders (item is numbered 10 in the dealer description of notebooks).","The small journal in brown paper wrappers, printed for the 1976 calendar year, contains extensive prose and poetic reflections, pen and ink drawings, collages, along with names and addresses. Laid in, there is a prescription for Gelonida (a painkiller), a bank withdrawal slip, a business card, and clippings from comics. There are approximately 56 pages of top-to-bottom text and artwork (numbered 11 in dealer description of notebooks).","The journal has red cloth over paper wrappers, with entries dating 1977 to 1979, with extensive addresses, phone numbers and names noted (including Ira Cohen). The handwriting in this journal is not Petra Vogt's.","The journal was likely kept by a person named John who was staying with Paul Gyss and possibly Petra Vogt at some point. The person writes diaristic details, with a few poems, and includes reflections about drug use, Ted Clarke, Jimmy Shelling, Paul Gyss, George [Andrews?], Maggie, and others, as well as details about travels in Goa, India, Kathmandu, and Pokara (Pokhara?), Nepal.","The author turned 37 on August 1, 1979, writing \"unless I O.D. or walk into the river tonight\". Though not Petra Vogt's, this is an important item in fleshing out the daily life in Kathmandu (numbered 12 in dealer description of notebooks).","The notebook has a gold foil cover and a black fleur-de-lis pattern and was likely used as a music study book, with approximately six leaves of musical annotations (likely traditional music from Nepal), and two loose photographs of unidentified musicians (numbered 15 in dealer description of notebooks).","Most of the handwriting in the volume is not Petra Vogt's, except for four pages of drawings and an autograph poem with \"July 1974\" dated at the top of the page. The diary is in black plastic wrappers, with 81 leaves of poetry in purple, black and green ink, generally fair copies of work. Two poems are dedicated to Petra Vogt, \"To the Friend\" and \"Homecoming.\" One poem \"Eros\" is possibly by Petra Vogt but is in the handwriting of another author. The author of most of the poetry may be named \"Arione\" (numbered 18 in the dealer description of notebooks).","The diary in black paper wrappers includes ten pages of translation practice and three pages of drawings (likely not by Petra Vogt). Formerly laid in are two items, a typed or printed sheet on handling grave sorrow and a mimeographed dramatic script of Elektra in German, in five leaves, with holograph annotations which are currently placed in the back of the folder (numbered 19 in dealer description of notebooks).","This thick journal is highly annotated, beginning in August 1978, with daily writings on spiritual work, illustrations, collages, poetry, other writings and photographs with some of the items laid in. One of the drawings has been removed, put in mylar and placed in the back of the folder (numbered 16 in dealer description of notebooks).","This thick journal has lace and printed script reading \"Petra Vogt\" on the inside cover. This is one of the most heavily annotated and collaged items of the series, containing references to the \"Black Ashram,\" notes on Gregory Corso, a holograph poem by Roberto Francisco Valenza (a Bardo Matrix author) which is illustrated by Petra Vogt, an autograph poem by Iris [Gaynor] (another Bardo Matrix author), autograph poems by Ira Cohen, and autograph poems by others.","It contains lengthy journal entries, extending over multiple pages, an anguished draft of a letter about love, leaving, knowledge, and truth. It also includes poetry, songs and lyrics, collages, original artworks, and other writings.

The exceptions to this arrangement are items where the artist or subject is unknown or if there is no series for individual artists.","The University of Virginia has taught the study of human anatomy as part of the medical curriculum since its first session in 1825.","The creator of several of the drawings in the collection, Harvey E. Jordan (1878-1963), was on the faculty of the School of Medicine at the University of Virginia between 1907 and 1949 and had a strong interest in anatomy throughout his career. Jordan served as a Professor of Histology and Embryology, Director of Anatomical Laboratories, and, from 1938 to 1949, as the Dean of the Department of Medicine (in 1950 the title changed to \"Dean of the School of Medicine\"). During his tenure as Dean, Jordan started a Division of Medical Illustration at the Univeristy. Among the many professional societies to which he belonged was the American Association of Anatomists, and throughout his career he wrote many papers on the subject of microscopic anatomy.","In addition to Harvey E. Jordan, the collection also contains work by illustrators including P. Le Paumier, Helen Lorraine, and Ted Bloodhart. P. Le Paumier (dates unknown) was a French illustrator whose work was published in the book Travaux pratiques d'anatomie. Cahier d'ostéologie, by French anatomist André Latarjet (1877-1947). Helen Lorraine (1892-1980) was a medical illustrator who graduated from Johns Hopkins School of Art as Applied to Medicine (1916) and studied under Max Brodel and J. Shelton Horsley. Lorraine's illustrations were produced for Dr. Charles Bruce Morton (1908-1966), a University of Virginia School of Medicine graduate (B.S. 1920, M.D. 1922) and professor of Surgery and Gynecology at UVA from 1927 to 1954. Little is known about the other illustrators. Some works in the collection are not identified.","Another set of prints included in this collection are the Elizabeth Mandell historical prints collection, which consists of prints, illustrations, and pages from an unidentified text. Items include 3 anatomical plates; 3 surgical plates; and a print of a physician and patient from the Illustrated Times, London Dec. 8, 1880. Also included: an image of a doctor and patients from an \"extra supplement to the Illustrated London News, May 19, 187?\"; and illustrations from the International Medical and Sanitary Exposition. The 4 loose pages contain an entry on Anatomy and are taken from the same text as the anatomical and surgical plates (possibly an encyclopedia).","In 2026, the English and French caricatures were added to the collection.","The collection comprises mostly of anatomical illustrations of humans and animals by professional medical illustrators and medical practioners, but there is a good number of caricatures. Many of the images depict 20th century surgical prodedures; there are also physiological illustrations included in the collection. Most items are drawn in pencil on illustration paper with cardboard backing.

(ditto), St. Mary's Hospital. 4. a bad accident case: London Hospital. 5. bath lift: Middlesex Hospital.","Extra supplement to the Illustrated London News May 19 1877.","Caricature by definition is a representation in which the subject's distinctive features or peculiarities are deliberately exaggerated to produce a comic or grotesque effect. Nineteenth-century medicine provided caricaturists with a wealth of material. Artists humorously exaggerated medical conditions and physical characteristics. Bulbous noses, protruding stomachs, and hunched backs were some of the more common features drawn to extraordinary proportions. Bizarre treatments, massive doses of pills, and excessive bloodletting, prescribed by trained physicians and quack doctors alike, were all lampooned. Suffering and discomfort from disease and the patient's reaction to medical treatment were also fodder for the satirist's pen.","While some caricatures were straightforward in their message, others contained yet another layer of meaning. Medical conditions could symbolize failed interpersonal relationships, national political affairs, and everything in between. Ailments caused by the follies of fashion, such as ill-fitting footwear or constricting corsets, inspired many drawings. Artists also directly linked illness to excesses in nineteenth-century social life, particularly over-consumption of food and alcohol.","The 37 caricatures displayed in this exhibit are divided into two groups: English and French. The English prints are predominately drawn by two of the more famous British caricaturists, James Gillray and George Cruikshank. The French caricatures include artwork by J.J. Grandville, Louis-Léopold Boilly, and Edme Jean Pigal.","English Caricature:\nPrecariousness of Life\nHeroic Medicine\nPray Remember the Poor Debtors\nQuacks \u0026 Nostrums\nDoomed Relationships\nFashionable Follies\nNineteenth-Century Excess\nEnglish Artists\nFootnotes, Bibliography, \u0026 Links","French Caricature:\nScenes of the Day\nMedicine in France\nMedical Caricatures or Political Commentary?\nHunchbacks: Mocked or Mocker?\nPublic Health: The Need Is Pressing\nWet Nursing: Paying Consumers\nFrench Artists\nFootnotes, Bibliography, \u0026 Links","The caption of this image describes the 'Extraordinary Effects of Morison's Vegetable Pills', re-growing a man's legs overnight. Morison's Vegetable Pills were the brainchild of James Morison (1770-1840) and sold from 1825 onwards. Morison believed that all disease was caused by an impurity of the blood that could only be purged by his vegetable pills. The pills, a laxative based on a variety of herbs, including rhubarb and myrrh, were sold in chemists, grocers and even libraries. Morison believed that his pills could be taken in large doses but a number of deaths proved him wrong. Many labelled him a quack and his pills a poison.

Concern at pollution and threat to public health.","The satirical poem 'Royal Address of Cadwallader ap-Tudor ap-Edwards ap-Vaughan, Water-King of Southwark', published in 1832, is a comment on the pollution of the River Thames, the main water supply for London. The crowd chants \"Give us clean water\" and \"We shall get the cholera\" – 1832 being the year that a major cholera epidemic hit London. The writer of the poem and the people in the illustration appear to believe that cholera is spread by vapours from rotting waste – the miasma theory of disease. However, John Snow (1813-1858) discovered that cholera is a water-borne disease. Despite this, many physicians still accepted the miasma theory. The illustration was drawn by the artist and caricaturist George Cruikshank (1792-1878).","Inscription: Lettered with title, \"Ex Marmore Antiquo,\" three lines of description of subject beginning \"He grounded his Precepts upon Aesculapius. ...,\" and production details: \"P. P. Rubens Del.,\" \"I. Faber Fecit,\" and \"Printed for \u0026 Sold by Tho: Bowles next the Chapter House in St. Pauls Ch. Yard and John Bowles at the Black Horse in Cornhill.\"","This satirical response to \"fast living\" centers on a figure whose left side is a skeleton holding a spade before a tombstone lettered with a quote from Romans 6.23, \"The wages of sin is death,\" with other biblical admonishments below. The figure's right side is fashionably dressed living aristocrat standing in a parkland with a temple similar to one at Stowe in Buckinghamshire. Emblems of the Order of the Garter are part of the man's dress and items that refer to gambling and partying are strewn around his buckled shoe. These include part of a \"EO\" wheel (an 18th century game similar to roulette), dice and a shaker, cards, and a masquerade ticket to the Pantheon in London. A scroll that confirms the man's \"Pedigree\" suggests that rank offers no protection from mortality.","This cartoon by J. A. Wales.found in Puck on April 14, 1880 satirizes the Eclectic Medical College of Pennsylvania, a diploma mill selling fake medical degrees in the later decades of the 19th century. \"Professor Grind-Em-Out\" is, no doubt, the school's \"Dean,\" John Buchanan, who was finally arrested in 1880, due in part to his exposure in the popular media.","Etching depicting a group of male academics and students, many wearing mortar boards, gathered around a professor who reads form a book inscribed 'Datur Vacuum.'","Within a lugubrious coat-of-arms, Hogarth depicts three well-known quacks with a group of twelve portly physicians. The three quacks at the top of the print are Joshua Ward, perhaps the most famous charlatan of his time; Sarah Mapp, a well-known bonesetter; and John Taylor, an oculist. The bewigged physicians dispel the stench of death by sniffing the pomander attached to the top of their canes. According to Hogarth, proper physicians and disreputable quacks are all members of the same Company of Undertakers.

Nineteenth-century medicine provided caricaturists with a wealth of material. Artists humorously exaggerated medical conditions and physical characteristics. Bulbous noses, protruding stomachs, and hunched backs were some of the more common features drawn to extraordinary proportions. Bizarre treatments, massive doses of pills, and excessive bloodletting, prescribed by trained physicians and quack doctors alike, were all lampooned.

Morison believed that all disease was caused by an impurity of the blood that could only be purged by his vegetable pills. The pills, a laxative based on a variety of herbs, including rhubarb and myrrh, were sold in chemists, grocers and even libraries. Morison believed that his pills could be taken in large doses but a number of deaths proved him wrong. Many labelled him a quack and his pills a poison.

Jordan served as a Professor of Histology and Embryology, Director of Anatomical Laboratories, and, from 1938 to 1949, as the Dean of the Department of Medicine (in 1950 the title changed to \"Dean of the School of Medicine\").

Lorraine's illustrations were produced for Dr. Charles Bruce Morton (1908-1966), a University of Virginia School of Medicine graduate (B.S. 1920, M.D. 1922) and professor of Surgery and Gynecology at UVA from 1927 to 1954.

Nineteenth-century medicine provided caricaturists with a wealth of material. Artists humorously exaggerated medical conditions and physical characteristics. Bulbous noses, protruding stomachs, and hunched backs were some of the more common features drawn to extraordinary proportions. Bizarre treatments, massive doses of pills, and excessive bloodletting, prescribed by trained physicians and quack doctors alike, were all lampooned.

Morison's Vegetable Pills were the brainchild of James Morison (1770-1840) and sold from 1825 onwards. Morison believed that all disease was caused by an impurity of the blood that could only be purged by his vegetable pills. The pills, a laxative based on a variety of herbs, including rhubarb and myrrh, were sold in chemists, grocers and even libraries. Morison believed that his pills could be taken in large doses but a number of deaths proved him wrong. Many labelled him a quack and his pills a poison.

The crowd chants \"Give us clean water\" and \"We shall get the cholera\" – 1832 being the year that a major cholera epidemic hit London. The writer of the poem and the people in the illustration appear to believe that cholera is spread by vapours from rotting waste – the miasma theory of disease. However, John Snow (1813-1858) discovered that cholera is a water-borne disease. Despite this, many physicians still accepted the miasma theory.

Nineteenth-century medicine provided caricaturists with a wealth of material. Artists humorously exaggerated medical conditions and physical characteristics. Bulbous noses, protruding stomachs, and hunched backs were some of the more common features drawn to extraordinary proportions. Bizarre treatments, massive doses of pills, and excessive bloodletting, prescribed by trained physicians and quack doctors alike, were all lampooned. Suffering and discomfort from disease and the patient's reaction to medical treatment were also fodder for the satirist's pen.","While some caricatures were straightforward in their message, others contained yet another layer of meaning. Medical conditions could symbolize failed interpersonal relationships, national political affairs, and everything in between. Ailments caused by the follies of fashion, such as ill-fitting footwear or constricting corsets, inspired many drawings. Artists also directly linked illness to excesses in nineteenth-century social life, particularly over-consumption of food and alcohol.","The 37 caricatures displayed in this exhibit are divided into two groups: English and French. The English prints are predominately drawn by two of the more famous British caricaturists, James Gillray and George Cruikshank. The French caricatures include artwork by J.J. Grandville, Louis-Léopold Boilly, and Edme Jean Pigal.","English Caricature:\nPrecariousness of Life\nHeroic Medicine\nPray Remember the Poor Debtors\nQuacks \u0026 Nostrums\nDoomed Relationships\nFashionable Follies\nNineteenth-Century Excess\nEnglish Artists\nFootnotes, Bibliography, \u0026 Links","French Caricature:\nScenes of the Day\nMedicine in France\nMedical Caricatures or Political Commentary?\nHunchbacks: Mocked or Mocker?\nPublic Health: The Need Is Pressing\nWet Nursing: Paying Consumers\nFrench Artists\nFootnotes, Bibliography, \u0026 Links","The caption of this image describes the 'Extraordinary Effects of Morison's Vegetable Pills', re-growing a man's legs overnight. Morison's Vegetable Pills were the brainchild of James Morison (1770-1840) and sold from 1825 onwards. Morison believed that all disease was caused by an impurity of the blood that could only be purged by his vegetable pills. The pills, a laxative based on a variety of herbs, including rhubarb and myrrh, were sold in chemists, grocers and even libraries. Morison believed that his pills could be taken in large doses but a number of deaths proved him wrong. Many labelled him a quack and his pills a poison.

Published by S. Knight, [1832]. 51x32.5cm. Printed on broadsheet with text poem beneath: Royal Address of Cadwallader... water-king of Southwark [John Edwards]. Concern at pollution and threat to public health.","The satirical poem 'Royal Address of Cadwallader ap-Tudor ap-Edwards ap-Vaughan, Water-King of Southwark', published in 1832, is a comment on the pollution of the River Thames, the main water supply for London. The crowd chants \"Give us clean water\" and \"We shall get the cholera\" – 1832 being the year that a major cholera epidemic hit London. The writer of the poem and the people in the illustration appear to believe that cholera is spread by vapours from rotting waste – the miasma theory of disease. However, John Snow (1813-1858) discovered that cholera is a water-borne disease. Despite this, many physicians still accepted the miasma theory. The illustration was drawn by the artist and caricaturist George Cruikshank (1792-1878).","Inscription: Lettered with title, \"Ex Marmore Antiquo,\" three lines of description of subject beginning \"He grounded his Precepts upon Aesculapius. ...,\" and production details: \"P.

The figure's right side is fashionably dressed living aristocrat standing in a parkland with a temple similar to one at Stowe in Buckinghamshire. Emblems of the Order of the Garter are part of the man's dress and items that refer to gambling and partying are strewn around his buckled shoe. These include part of a \"EO\" wheel (an 18th century game similar to roulette), dice and a shaker, cards, and a masquerade ticket to the Pantheon in London.
