Publicatie documenteert een interview met de Amerikaanse curator-schrijver en kunsthandelaar Seth Siegelaub op 20-05-2011 met de kunstenaar Ben Kinmont Interview between Ben Kinmont and Seth Siegelaub. The discussion focuses on Siegelaub’s activity as a book collector, publisher, bibliographer, and dealer of antiquarian books in the history of textiles. There is little written about Siegelaub’s activity as an antiquarian book dealer and bibliographer, an activity to which he devoted considerably more of his time than to art activities. This interview was made to remedy that problem. The color illustrations reproduce two of Siegelaub’s bookseller catalogues; one of Kinmont’s antiquarian bookseller catalogues about gastronomy; the title page of Theophrastus’ Libellus de odoribus (1556); the cover of Seigelaub’s Bibliographica Textilia Historiae; and a portrait of Siegelaub holding his Bibliographica
