1934Best.-Nr. 55114Paris-Publications 1934. Softcover. Previous owner’s signature inside front cover. As is nearly always the case with this book the plastic or Bakelite rings that once held the book together are lacking having apparently broken they must have been quite fragile and so the covers and the pages are entirely disbound. However this copy differs from most others in being more complete: it has 2 pages of text and 46 pages of images. Most copies have either 38 or 44 pages of images. This is said to be the result of censorship; since the pages are unnumbered and there is no list of the images the removal of one or more leaves would not be noticeable. Or it may be the result of there not having been an equal number of good copies of each leaf when the book was assembled. In any case this is except for the binding rings the most complete and probably earliest state of this scarce volume. Some remnants of celotape on the covers probably from an attempt to compensate for the missing binding rings. Credit to Brassia inside back cover and price 40 francs on back cover. . 48p.

1933Best.-Nr. 24569Paris: Edition Arts et Metiers Graphiques 1933. First edition. Stiff Wraps. Original spiral binding front cover lettered in red. Very good. Unpaginated. Six leaves. 25 x 19 cm. 62 photogravure plates after Brassai. Printed by Draeger with exceptional photogravure plates this series of nocturnal Parisian views with its evocative text by Morand is something of an Art Deco classic. PHOTOBOOK I p. 134: “a ravishing book object in a purely physical sense. The printing represents arguably the most luscious gravure ever seen the blacks being so rich and deep that after handling the book one expects to find sooty deposits all over one’s fingers. The gradation of tones is wonderfully subtle describing an apparently infinite range of black and near-black tones. The layout with its characteristic full-page bleeds never more felicitously employed takes us from image to image from page to page and across night-time Paris with effortless panache. One should think of it as amongst the best produced and influential photobooks ever” HASSELBLAD. 110. PARR/BADGER. I 134. ROTH. 76. Slight crease front cover.

2002Best.-Nr. 1388Condition: As New with previous owner's blindstamp on front endpaper. First edition thus. Hardcover with dust-jacket as issued. 156 pages. 10.9" x 12.5" x 0.9". ISBN 9782080107138. The original edition was published in German in 1960 by Chr. Belser Verlag this printing "First edition thus". "Brassaï became interested in the marginal art form of graffiti in the 1930s seeing it as a form of outsider art that could open the door to new forms of artistic expression. His atmospheric photographs capture the essence of this unfettered creation. Stark contrasts of black and white alternate with softer shades of grey that meld into one another smoothing the harsh gouges typical of graffiti. Several of these photographs first appeared in the Surrealist review Minotaure; others were first published in France and Germany in 1960 in a work entitled Graffiti which accompanied an exhibition that visited New York London Milan Baden-Baden Frankfurt Hannover and Paris. The approach was hugely influential both for the Surrealists and in the domain of Outsider Art. Accompanying the photographs are selections from previously unpublished writings including extracts from Brassaï's own notebooks in which he noted the presence of elements of graffiti on the walls of Paris that he intended to photograph. The book also contains an interview with Picasso on the subject of graffiti as an art form. This first English language version of this classic title is a beautifully produced edition of what is undoubtedly a seminal work in the history of modern photography." -Publisher's notes.

1934Best.-Nr. 4065Paris: Editions Atelier de Paris 1934 Quarto 24x16.2 cm. wrappers 385 iipp. The first edition of a major biography of Endre Ady 1877-1919 with many illlustrations. The contemporary photos of Paris are by André Kertész commissioned by the author of this biography and a devoted aficionado of Ady himself. Kertész also designed the book. Includes the famous Kertész photo of Ady's favorite café table. Most of the earlier photos are by Aladár Székely 1870-1940 also a close friend of Ady's noted for his early 20th century portraits. Hungarian text throughout. As for the subject Ady was the poet who gave birth to a 20th-century voice for Hungarian identity and exerted an overwhelming influence on Hungarian letters up to WWI. He was born into a Transylvanian Calvinist town and family and tormented througout life by an uninhibited passion for sensual experience and freedom against a strict conscience and authority. At the same time he was committed to profoundly infusing Hungarian life and culture with a modernist temperament critical thinking and social reform and bringing the country into a broader international integration with world culture. These together formed the cauldron of his creative ferment. The book abounds with photostats of Ady's handwritten poems historical photos and documents. Bölöni was a close friend of Ady's for many of the poet's later years and recipient to a number of the poet's dedications. This copy ex-coll.
