Description:
New York: Random House / Maecenas Press, 1970. In fine condition save some light wear to the folding case. Two large oblong folios (12 x 16 inches). 22 pp. 347 plates. Original linen-backed gilt-decorated cloth in original purple velvet lined folding case. FIRST EDITION. The title refers to the 347 engravings that Picasso made at Mougins from March 16 to October 5, 1968. "Neither DĂĽrer, Rembrandt nor Daumier—all admittedly great and productive printmakers—approaches Picasso either in mastery of the wide variety of graphic techniques or in sheer outpouring of ideas or images Never has there been a sustained achievement equal to that captured in these pages. All the prints included here were produced in an incredibly short time, always with superb mastery of the medium. Viewed in toto, these images, dreams and visual poems by the greatest artist of our time seem almost limitless. There is no point in comparing Picasso to other artists; he stands Olympian and alone. Though not himself immortal,…

Milan: Achille Mauri, 1968. Thermoformed plastic multiple: 11.75 x 11.75 inches; 30 x 30 cm. Some minor age darkening at the edges, generally in fine condition, without cracks or abrasions. The book: 44 pages. Text by Vincenzo Agnetti. In Italian, French, and German. Photographs by Giorgio A. Colombo, Franco Angeli, Ugo Mulas, and Uliano Lucas. Original printed wrappers. Both enclosed in original publisher's printed cardboard box. One of 1000 copies of this multiple and catalogue, issued together in 1968 by Mauri. The multiple shares the characteristic play with light and shade created by Castellani's monochrome painted canvases stretched over nails. "Enrico Castellani strives for immateriality, to the point that even the paint materials lose their physical-empirical, sensual character, a means of emphasizing the intended otherness of the pictorial object. Castellani does not operate with concrete cultural references or archaic, mythical metaphors, for he is more concerned with creating…
