Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade, 1969. Book. Very Good. Wrappers. 292 pages. Paperback. Primary texts in Croatian (translations of essays into French). There are some bumps and wear to the corners, with small associated tears to the cover at the spine. It is possible that the pageblock as it exists now has been restored to its current solid and tight state. The glossy stiff white paper French fold cover is attached to the pageblock, although pulling a bit at the back. The cover folds down from the spine, possibly by design. Numerous black and white photographic reproductions. The presence of a checklist seems to indicate that this was an exhibition catalogue. Not reading Croatian, I am at a disadvantage to adequately describe the contents of this scarce title, but it appears to examine a time when Surrealism and Social Realism merged in Yugoslavia. Artists examined are little known in the West, but include Ivan Cargo, Marko Celebonovic, Marijan Detoni, Vojo Dimitrijevic, Alenka Gerlovic, Sergije… Read More

Rizzoli International Publications, New York, 1992. Book. Near Fine. Cloth. 224 pages. Hardcover, bound in orange paper covered boards with a canvas covered spine. Texts in English. 254 illustrations, 110 of which are in color. Very light shelfwear rubbing to the covers of the dustjacket, and a light crease to the front free endpaper, but otherwise in fine condition, with a solid binding and clean, unmarked interior. There is a darkish line (possibly glue?), along the inside gutter of both front and rear cover. Every copy I have had of this title has had this same issue, making me think it is inherent to the production. Beyond an examination of the cultures and their sculpture, the authors investigate the effects of key explorers and anthropologists who brought works to Europe where they had a great influence on European Surrealism..
