About This Item
New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 1968. First printing. Fine.. First edition of this iconic production, printed to accompany the museum's 1968 exhibition of the same name - an uncommonly fine example. An attractive and unusual production, reminiscent of tin lithographed toys of the early 20th century, published as the catalogue for the landmark MoMA show that ran from Nov. 25th 1968 to Feb. 9th 1969. Artists include Calder, De Chirico, Duchamp, Ernst, Giacometti, Grosz, Klee, Leger, Magritte, Man Ray, Moholy-Nagy, Bruno Munari, Oldenburg, Picabia, Rauschenberg, Rosenquist, Schwitters, Takis, and Tinguely, among others. Though by no means an uncommon title, this is easily the nicest example we've encountered. 9.5'' x 8''. Original color pictorial lithographed press aluminum covers designed by Anders Osterlin (after a photograph by Alicia Legg). 216 pages. Just touches of wear here and there. Else an exceptionally bright and sharp copy of a book typically prone to much greater wear.
