Antoni Tàpies illustrating Edmond Jabès' philosophical verse.From the edition limited to 102 copies on Arches signed by the author and the artist, with this one of 12 hors commerce copies reserved for the collaborators; a further edition of 1,000 copies with reproductions of Tàpies etchings was issued in the same year.The mise en page is by Bruno Roy and the text was printed at l'Imprimerie de la Charité in Montpellier; Tàpies engravings were printed by l'Atelier Marsang, Paris.''Ça Suit Son Cours' is an unusual collection of poetry, and a striking artist's book. It ... contains not only previous work by poet Edmond Jabès ... but also quotations and contributions from other authors like Maurice Blanchot, Michel Leiris and philosopher Jacques Derrida ... The cover Tàpies produced for 'Ça Suit Son Cours' is very striking: words have been printed in deep relief on the thick paper. For this design, Tàpies made use of the text featured on page 11. He cut up that text's printing plate, and then printed the words scattered around randomly in a typeface twice as large. This 'collograph technique' creates a web in which new word combinations, and therefore ... a new text emerge.' (Koninklijke Bibliotheek).
