1933ref. 22613New York: Julien Levy Gallery 1933. Single sheet. Very Good. A wonderful piece of Surrealist ephemera and one of the great early Julien Levy catalogues. The scarce historic November-December 1933 catalogue/announcement of Salvador Dali's first solo exhibition in America. 26 listed paintings followed by a Dali essay and 2 Dali illustrations. All on a single purple sheet folded into thirds. Light creasing at all 3 panels renders this copy a VG to VG rather than a Near Fine but happily the fragile catalogue remains bright and very presentable. This copy also boasts superb provenance having come directly from the family of artist --and Julien Levy patron-- Joseph Cornell and before that from his house itself famously on Utopia Parkway in Flushing Queens New York.

1933ref. 5493171933. Unbound. Fine. Broadside. Yellow quarto sheet printed recto only. Folded twice and with a very tiny stain else fine. A statement prepared by Salvador Dali before his arrival in New York in anticipation of his first solo exhibition at the Lucien Levy Gallery from November 21 to December 8 1933. The statement quotes fellow surrealist and later antagonist Andre Breton includes Dali's denial as to the meaning of his works: "I never have the slightest idea what my pictures mean"; how after painting his wife one autumn afternoon he was "finally able to attain images sufficiently lucid and 'appetizing' for exhibition in New York"; and ending with a final question; "New York: why why did you erect my statue long ago long before I was born higher than another more desperate than another" Confusion about this statement abounds with some claiming the broadside was distributed at the 1939 World's Fair where Dali had a pavilion or later in 1941 calling it a response to criticism from a statement by Breton. Our research - and Dali's own printed words "I have never been to America" - supports Dali biographer Ian Gibson's belief that this broadside was issued in late 1933 as advance publicity for the painter's first solo American exhibition close on the heels of increased interest in the artist following the Surrealist show the year before that debut his icon painting The Persistence of Memory.

Les diners de Gala is uniquely devoted to the pleasures of taste. If you are a disciple of one of those calorie-counters who turn the joys of eating into a form of punishment close this book at once; it is too lively too aggressive and far too impertinent for you. - Salvador Dali Food and surrealism make perfect bedfellows: sex and lobsters collage and cannibalism the meeting of a swan and a toothbrush on a pastry case. The opulent dinner parties thrown by Salvador Dali 1904-1989 and his wife and muse Gala 1894-1982 were the stuff of legend. Luckily for us Dali published a cookbook in 1973 Les diners de Gala which reveals some of the sensual imaginative and exotic elements that made up their notorious gatherings. This reprint features all 136 recipes over 12 chapters specially illustrated by Dali and organized by meal courses including aphrodisiacs. The illustrations and recipes are accompanied by Dali's extravagant musings on subjects such as dinner conversation: 'The jaw is our best tool to grasp philosophical knowledge.' All these rich recipes can be cooked at home although some will require practiced skill and a well-stocked pantry. This is cuisine of the old school with meals by leading French chefs from such stellar Paris restaurants as Lasserre La Tour d'Argent Maxim's and Le Train Bleu. Taschen hardcover books

The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini was written by the Italian sculptor and draftsman in the sixteenth century although it was not published until 1728. This work detailing the personal life of a well-known artist has become perhaps the most important autobiography of the Italian Renaissance giving readers a glimpse into the lives of historical figures like Michelangelo and the Medici family. In his writing Cellini is unconcerned with maintaining a proper image of himself and uses humor and exaggerations to embellish his story even describing violent attacks he supposedly committed and otherworldly experiences he endured. This trade edition was preceded by a 1946 limited edition of 1000 numbered copies signed by Dalí. Signed. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good. New York: Doubleday & Company hardcover books
