SURREALISME. BOITE ALERTE. MISSIVES LASCIVES. Exposition Internationale du Surrealisme 1959-60.
Paris: Galerie Daniel Cordier, 1959.
12.5 x 26.5cm. 144pp. exhibition catalogue which contains copious b/w reproductions. Original pictorial wrappers. Contributions from Carrington, Mansour, Nora Mitrani, Breton, Bellmer, Man Ray, Peret, Paz, Svanberg, J.J. Lebel, et. al. Including the collective Lexique Succinct de L'Erotisme and Jean Benoit's notes for his ritual execution of the last will and testament of the Marquis de Sade + list of works exhibited). The catalogue was produced for the eventful International Surrealist exhibition (Paris, 1960). Exemplary of the (then) extremist and retrospective erotic researches that characterised so much of Surrealist group activity from its inception. Delightful, cheeky, black-humoured and polemically oriented. Slight and very minor creases to corners of covers, otherwise fine. Scarce
