Description from the seller
HUGNET (Georges)
1961
Paris, Chez l'auteur, 1961
The artist's book 1961 by the French avant-garde artist Georges Hugnet is an extremely rare bibliophilic work deeply rooted in the Dada and surrealist movement. Hugnet, a key figure in early modern art and closely associated with icons such as Duchamp and Picasso, filled the edition with distinctive photomontages and free verse. The work has a very limited edition of only 570 numbered copies, making it a coveted collectible that can also be found in museum collections such as MoMA.
Edition of 570 numbered copies, of which 10 copies on Auvergne are hand-numbered, 60 copies on Rives vellum and 500 copies on vellum.
Sewn in sheets under a printed cover with flaps.
Original edition illustrated with 4 photomontages by the author, printed outside the text.
One of the 500 copies numbered on vellum, this copy no. 51.
