réf. B139664-6Roma 1982. 4pp. single sheet of tan wove card stock imprinted in red letterpress. Lrg. 8vo. Self-wraps. The very first catalogue and the first monograph published on the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat with a densely written text by Mario Diacono. The exhibition was devoted to the display of a single major painting Il campo vicino laltra strada The Field Next to the Other Road. Mario Diacono has previously noted that this painting has often been incorrectly dated 1981 and also as being painted and exhibited that year in Modena at the Galleria Emilio Mazzoli in the show titled SAMO. The work was indeed painted in Modena by the 21-year-old Basquiat but in May of 1982. It was one of eight new works that Basquiat produced in a Modena warehouse at the invitation of Emilio Mazzoli for a solo exhibition at the Galleria Mazzoli that never actually took place. By an agreement between Basquiat's primary dealer at the time Annina Nosei and the Galleria Diacono the work was then exhibited by Diacono in Rome in October 1982. Its price was set at 7 million lire or about $5000. In May 2015 the painting was sold at Christies for $37125000. "The Field Next to the Other Road" was reunited with the other seven paintings that were to be in the 1982 Mazzoli exhibition and all were shown together for the first time in an exhibition held at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel June-August 2023. A very fine copy. Extremely rare. Roma, 1982. paperback books

réf. 4877Engraved allegorical frontis. by Augustin Saint-Aubin. xxxii 299 5 pp. 8vo orig. wrappers uncut. Paris: Didot & Knapen 1773. First edition and a lovely copy in original state of an uncommon book; this is one of Romé’s first publications. It is a description “of the metallic ores of his own mineral cabinet in which he discussed the origin metamorphosis and paragenesis of each.”–D.S.B. XI p. 521. Earlier he had catalogued the mineralogical curiosities in the cabinet of Pedro Francisco Davila and for several years found steady employment by preparing at least fourteen other mineralogical catalogues. In all the descriptions in the present work Romé stresses the importance of crystalline form and that this form is the chief characteristic by which minerals may be classified. Romé 1736-90 by formulating the law of constancy of interfacial angles established crystallography as the basis of mineralogy. The attractive frontispiece drawn by Saint-Aubin depicts two putti one examining ores under a microscope and the other stoking a furnace. Preserved in a box. ⧠Yves Laissus “Les Cabinets d’Histoire Naturelle” in René Taton ed. Enseignement et diffusion des sciences en France au dix-huitième siècle p. 669–“un véritable manuel de minéralogie.” Schuh Mineralogy & Crystallography: A Biobibliography 1469 to 1920 4154–“Very scarce. In this collection catalog the famous French crystallographer fully describes about 750 metallic minerals from his own cabinet. Included are specimens consisting of pure metals as well as natural alloys and combinations with sulfur. Basic division is based upon the principle metals and semi-metals contained in the described specimens and include gold silver copper iron tin lead mercury antimony zinc bismuth cobalt arsenic and sulfur. Under each of these headings the specimens are divided based upon their form and chemical composition. For each item described notes on the origin associated minerals locality size and the estimated weight of contained precious metals is presented. The catalog is well referenced and if a particular specimen was given to Romé the supplier’s name is included in the description.”. unknown books

COLOPHON: Ces presentes heures a lusaige de Romme furent acheuees le premier iour de Octobre Lan Mil cinq cens et cinq. Par Guillaume Anabat imprimeur demourant a Paris en la rue sainct Jehan de Beauuais pres les escolles du decret a lenseigne des connis. Pour Germain Hardouin libraire demourant empres la grant porte du palais a limage saincte Marguerite. . An unsophisticated copy of this handsome book of hours the earliest dated production of Anabat's press. Anabat was a native of Brittany; his press was active in Paris between 1505 and 1510. All of the books that he printed were done for other publishers; the vast majority were books of hours printed for the brothers Gilles and Germain Hardouyn who specialized in the production and sale of horae. The metalcuts that illustrate this edition are the work of two distinct hands. The twelve smaller cuts depicting the life of Christ are copies based on a set that was produced for Thielman Kerver and Georg Wolff c. 1497; they were first used by the Hardouyn brothers in 1503. They have been attributed to the Master of the Très Petites Heures d'Anne de Bretagne also known as the Master of the Apocalypse Rose of the Sainte-Chapelle; this artist has been tentatively identified as Jean d'Ypres the son of Colin d'Amiens See Caroline Zöhl's article in the 2007 festschrift for François Avril Quand la peinture était dans les livres. He produced many designs for the illustration of books of hours in the period 1480-1510; he is also responsible for a small number of manuscripts as well as some celebrated designs for tapestries. The three large cuts that start the volume however are the work of Jean Pichore who was active in Paris c. 1500-1520. His illustrations in the renaissance style replaced the gothic designs of the Master of the Apocalypse Rose of the Sainte-Chapelle as the dominant mode in the illustration of Paris books of hours; this volume captures that transition perfectly with the more refined and sophisticated Pichore blocks standing in counterpoint to the slightly stiff cuts of the earlier master. The artist responsible for the Planetary Man cut which had appeared in earlier Hardouyn books of hours has not been identified. This edition exists in two quite distinct states. In one each page is printed within an elaborate composite border made up of numerous small blocks and sometimes incorporating letterpress captions; our copy is an example of this state. In the other the text and illustrations are printed entirely without borders with the exception of the colophon leaf which has the same architectural border in both states. A copy of the state without borders is at Penn State; it has been digitized and can be seen online at Lehigh University's Digital Library of Illuminated Manuscripts. It is unclear at this point which state has priority or whether one is more common than the other. PROVENANCE: Unidentified arms on title-page - Georges Quesnoy early inscription on rear endleaf - several other early ownership inscriptions now largely illegible on endleaves. CONDITION: Leaves a1r and o4v rather rubbed with some loss; some occasional soiling and staining; the vellum at times somewhat cockled. The boards slightly warped; extremities a bit rubbed; rear hinge cracked. Despite these flaws still a pleasing and unsophisticated copy.
