Description from the seller
Attention collectors and enthusiasts of Surrealism: a masterpiece of 20th-century bibliophilia.
We are pleased to present this exceptional copy of the first original edition (1968) of the mythical art book "Dalí de Draeger." Published by Le Soleil Noir editions and masterfully printed in France by the prestigious Draeger workshops under the direction of Max Gérard, this colossal work offers a total immersion into Salvador Dalí's brilliantly eccentric universe.
Why is this lot exceptional?
- The Original Gold Dust Jacket Present: A real snag for collectors, the sublime yet ultra-fragile gold dust jacket (adorned with The Persistence of Memory) is preserved here in very good condition. The vast majority of copies on the market have lost this jacket or show it in tatters.
- A Sumptuous Case: Under the jacket, discover a red cloth-bound publisher’s binding, fresh and bright, bearing the famous stylized Dalí signature, stamped in gold on the front cover and spine.
- A Unique Iconographic Richness: The volume comprises 242 pages of avant-garde and spectacular layout, including 243 high-quality reproductions (full pages, double pages, and fold-out inserts) of his major works such as Leda Atomica, The Sacrament of the Last Supper, or The Christ of Vallès.
First Original Edition (1968) Pagination: 242 numbered pages + iconography index at the end of the book.
Interior fresh and clean, binding impeccable, dust jacket very well preserved. A copy of this quality is a rare opportunity on the current market. A master piece essential to elevate an art library or for a collector’s astute investment.
