About this Item
np (48pp), profusely illustrated in b&w. New York's Arthur Cohen was the premier purveyor of books and ephemera on twentieth century Modern Art movements for nearly twenty years. Ex Libris' copiously researched, scholarly, illustrated catalogues stood as unparalleled bibliographic tools at a time when there was a paucity of available reference to the documentary literature of the modernist avant-gardes. Catalogue number eighteen features fifty-two fully described and illustrated exceptional works, photographs, posters, books, periodicals, pamphlets, and printed ephemera on or by the likes of Hans (Jean) Arp, Broom, Francesco Cangiullo, Fortunato Depero, Andre Derain, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Die Flaeche, Fluxus, Natalia Goncharova, Wassily Kandinsky, Valentina Kulagina, Fernand Leger, El Lissitzky and Mayakovsky, Kazimir Malevich, Henri Matisse, Bruno Munari, Diter Rot (Dieter Roth), Kurt Schwitters, Surrealism, Ladislav Sutnar, Yves Tanguy, Tato (Guglielmo Sansoni), Tolschin, H. Th. Wijdeveld, Tristan Tzara, Frank Lloyd Wright, Piet Zwart, and more. And while at the time of its publication the prices here seemed astronomical, some thirty years later they are finally downright bargains! A bright, most handsome example of this uncommon reference with the original price list additionally laid in. Seller Inventory # 025893
