About This Item
(CHAGALL, MARC) (VERVE). Chagall, Marc & Gaston Bachelard. E. Teriade, Editor. VERVE REVUE ARTISTIQUE ET LITTERAIRE VOL.X, NOS. 37 ET 38: DESSINS POUR LA BIBLE / DRAWINGS FOR THE BIBLE BY MARC CHAGALL. Paris & New York: Editions De La Revue Verve & Harcourt, Brace, and Company, 1960. First American Edition. Folio. Illustrated Boards. Artist Monograph. Fair/No Jacket. np, 96 monochrome gravure illustrations. Cover by Marc Chagall with twenty-four color lithographs. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. Text in English. This combined thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth number of Teriade's legendary artistic review "Verve" is a monograph devoted solely to the work of Marc Chagall. Realized in 1960 under the direction of Teriade with the master printers Draeger and Mourlot Freres, "Drawings for the Bible" features ninety-six black and white heliogravure reproductions and twenty-four color lithographs of Chagall's old Testament imagery. A presentable example only of this spectacularly lovely and fragile item lacking its dust jacket showing cracking, abrading and some paper loss along the length of the spine as well as rubbing to the edges and tips of the boards. The first and last dozen-or-so leaves show some rippling and dampstaining due to contact with moisture, as does a portion of the foredge of the textblock. Otherwise, the interior is tight and sound, with no damage or cockling to the still bright lithographs. It has been priced accordingly. PLEASE NOTE: Additional shipping costs are required for this item beyond our standard rates due to its weight and value - we will inform you of the applicable amount at time of purchase.
