Vintage Art historical texts in Academia bookshop

I came across this selection of vintage art theory books in a small bookshop in the Academia area today. Most notable is the selection of texts on the Italian Futurist movement, a social and artistic movement that originated in the early 20th Century. Futurism associated itself with contemporary concepts of the future, including speed, technology, youth and violence, and objects such as the car, the airplane and the industrial city. The name was coined by the Italian writer Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1909.
