1976Best.-Nr. 3109London Paris New York: Petersburg Press 1976. FIRST EDITION. Original wrappers original box. Fine. AN EXTENSIVE ARCHIVE DOCUMENTING THE CREATION OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PROJECTS OF JASPER JOHNS'S CAREER INCLUDING A FINE COPY WITH IMPORTANT PROVENANCE OF THE COMPLETED BOOK. Preserved by Véra Russell the editor who conceived and directed the project the archive documents the creation of Foirades / Fizzles Petersburg Press 1976 widely regarded as the most important artist's book of Johns's career and among the defining livres d'artiste of the postwar period. Through correspondence photographs proofs production records and Russell's own working papers the archive traces the project from conception to publication and beyond revealing how Johns transformed what began as a proposed literary collaboration into a monumental work shaped almost entirely by his own artistic concerns. Throughout Johns's career language most often appears as a public artifact: flags numbers alphabets maps newspaper fragments and other signs already circulating in the world. In Foirades / Fizzles however the attention shifts from language in public space to language in private space. The archive shows Johns becoming increasingly absorbed not simply by Beckett's texts but by the conditions under which those texts would be read: the reuse of certain plates between a piece's English and French text their placement on the page and their physical presentation in the book. Few surviving archives document so closely the making of a major Johns print project. CONTENTS SUMMARY: The book - Foirades / Fizzles Petersburg Press 1976 Véra Russell's own Artist's Proof XXIII/XXX signed by Beckett and Johns.

Véra Russell correspondence - Her retained correspondence principally with Johns 13 letters and Beckett 8 letters and various others including Paul Cornwall-Jones Jim Knowlson James Cuno and Leo Castelli Jasper Johns correspondence - Eleven letters to Russell 1972-1981 tracing the project from inception through publication and exhibition Samuel Beckett correspondence - Twelve autograph notes 10 with envelopes and one autograph letter signed 1966-1984 together with a typed letter unsigned of 23 Nov 1973 on the choice of texts. A.J. "Con" Leventhal correspondence - Fourteen autograph notes and letters 1972-1976 further documenting Beckett's side of the collaboration. Editorial & production archive - Trial title-pages production notes and the six-part Outline of Project together with several working drafts of the book's Justification leaf in French and English annotated with autograph corrections and Cornwall-Jones/Petersburg Press correspondence on planning production and distribution Photographic archive - Eight photographs of Beckett and Johns together and twenty-five further photographs eighteen black-and-white seven in color of Johns producing the etchings together with fifteen color slides. Eleven of the photographs are by esteemed French photographer Robert Doisneau and stamped verso "Doisneau-Rapho"; the remainder carry a "Prudence Cuming Associates Ltd" stamp Miscellaneous materials - The Petersburg Press prospectus for the edition; an inscribed presentation copy of Beckett's Pour Finir Encore Les Éditions de Minuit 1976; two Hermathena offprints featuring Beckett one inscribed by Leventhal; a letter from the critic John Russell Véra Russell's former husband; and period newspaper and magazine cuttings. -------- A SINGULAR SURVIVAL: Few archives bring together a major artist's book the complete run of correspondence behind its making and the working papers of the editor who conceived it. Foirades / Fizzles marks a distinct turn in Jasper Johns's graphic career and the present archive is to our knowledge the most complete record of its creation. Johns's letters rarely appear at auction; a decade-spanning run of his correspondence alongside Beckett's own hand and Russell's retained papers as the project's originator is rarer still. In 1991-92 Russell herself offered her files for consideration by the Beckett Foundation; biographer James Knowlson corresponded with her warmly on the subject but the placement never went through and the material has remained together substantially as she kept it until now. Beneath the story told most visibly here - an unlikely convergence of two giants of late modernism yielding a new chapter in Johns's career and one of the most celebrated artist's books of the century uniquely documented in the present material - lies a quieter one: Russell's own. It is a story of perceived erasure a slight that this archive goes a long way toward redressing. Please click on the pdf link below the images for a more complete description.

1949Best.-Nr. 81328Paris: Pierre Seghers Éditeur 1949. First Edition. First Impression.

Spine ends bumped upper corners tapped with wear to lower corners gentle sunning to spine with some of the usual light dust-soil to covers and a hint of foxing to text edges; Very Good lacking the dustjacket. "When Doisneau began to photograph the suburbs of Gentilly and Montrouge they were still the tough but spirited working-class communities celebrated in the poetic-realist films of Julien Duvivier and Marcel Carné. But Doisneau caught them just as they were about to change and expand beyond recognition making this book a valuable document that looks unsentimentally yet affectionately at a popular idea of the French working class" PARR & BADGER Vol.1 p.201.
