AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A very nice copy of this limited edition Catalogue Raisonne with several editions. Copy 779/3000 (numbered to colophon at the rear).
This copy comes with the signed coloured lithograph "L'angoisse" (#59/185 of the lithograph). Drawn in sanguine, black crayon and lead pencil, this is produced on high quality art paper and is in its own folder.
The book is also signed and dedicated to the front end paper to Jacques and Ghislaine Berniere, dated Riyad 1990.
Berniere was the French ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1986-1991 (including throughout the Gulf War) and was later the ambassador to Belgium. Vicari's visits to Saudi Arabia are well documented and photographed in the catalogue. In addition there is a French menu card dated the same day (presumably from the Embassy) showing the dinner menu. To the verso, Vicari has drawn a sketch of some of the attendees, and signed this.
The book is black cloth, with gilt titles and a colour picture by Vicari tipped onto the front board. In good, clean, sound condition.
The book is held within a black clamshell case. There is a little rubbing and marking to the cover, but still attractive.
310 pages. 36 x 27 cm
Andrew Vicari was a Welsh portrait painter, who became the official portrait artist of the Saudi Royal Family (where there are three museums dedicated to his work.) He died, aged 83 in 2016.
