21cm. sq. 66pp. 50 b/w reproductions. Wrappers. First edition of this Situationist-period catalogue of works by Jorn. Texts by Yvon Taillandier, Jacques Prevert & Rene Bertele: The texts by Prevert (two) date from 1957-58. Some minor rubbing to spine and extremities.

24 x 17.5cm, 1pp Black on green - the public manifestation of Nash, de Jong and Amger Elde's displeasure at Guy Debord's expulsion of the SPUR Group from the SI and their founding of the "Situationist International" as a retort. Thereafter Hardy Strid, Jens Jurgen Thorsen and Gruppe SPUR supported them in the creation of a Nordic/Germanic alternative with Asger Jorn giving tacit and financial support. A rare item in fine condition.

15 x 21cm, single sheet opens up to 42 x 30cm, printed black, red and green. Exhibition catalogue for this early SPUR show with four works (one each by Sturm, Fischer, Poem and Simmer) and short texts. The Galerie van de Loo was long associated with Cobra and Asgar Jorn and this exhibition relates to their support of the alternative politically charged artists of the 60s. VG+. Very scarce.

21 x 15cm, 2pp announcement card for a posthumous show of paintings. Two works reproduced in b/w over the two sides. VG+.

30 x 52cm. Single blue sheet folded to comprise three printed sections. First issue of this collaborative protest by Spur group members and the Danish Bauhaus Situationists Gordon Fazarkerly & Jorgen Nash. Composed of a manifest co-signed by Beldeney, Gasche, Kunzelmann, Zimmer (of Spur), a poem by Fazarkerly; a second manifest authored by Jorgen Nash and signed in print by Thorsen, Stridf and Fjord. Folded as issued. Fine estate. Very scarce.

25 x 17cm, 4pp plus black on yellow card covers. Exhibition catalogue for the foremost German proponent of Art Informel and active member of 'Gruppe 53'.

There is a substantive 2pp essay by Pierre Restany here as well as one work reproduced in b/w and two images of the painter; one being of his hands and feet on a canvas a la Jackson Pollock creating one of his larger works. Fine.

48 numbers + one promotional card - a very substantial run from this series (59 = ALL) of artist's books released by Pol Bury and Balthazar under their Poquette Volantes imprint (part of le Daily Bul) and with strong ties to the Belgium surrealist group (in many ways one could make a case for the group around Le Daily Bul to be the heirs to the traditions of Magriette, Nouge etc: after all Bory and Balthazar both contributed to Les Levres Nues and other official group publications).

So close were the group's ties to their predecessors that several of the surrealist group of Belgium are represented here with Paul Colinet (3 different books), de Jong, Marcel Marien and the editors themselves supplying individual projects. Also included here are important publications by Lourdes Castro and Robert Filliou (both of which are keenly sought in their own right outside of the collection) as well as contributions from Rene Bertholo, Koenig, Searle, Dax and Alchinsky amongst others. The print run was usually 1,000 numbered copies: individual numbers are sometimes encountered but it is somewhat difficult to gather large runs albeit incomplete as here. All near fine with only minor fading to the coloured boards the only flaws.

PRICE IS FOR ALL AS A COLLECTION

24.5 x 17.5cm, 24pp plus origina wrappers with a wrap-around silkscreen work by Jorn in blue and green especially designed for the publication. Exhibition catalogue for this important show of abstract works by the young Jorn and his colleagues in Linien. An introductory text by Lars Rostrup Boyesen is flowed by full page b/w reproductions of works by Else Alfelt, Ejler Bille (two works one a sculpture), Else Fischer-Hansen, Svavar Gudnason, Henry Heerup, Egill Jacobsen, Asger Jorn (Den lyse Sommernat from 1946), Egon Mathiesen, Tage Mellerup, Richard Mortensen, Eric Ortvad, Carl-Henning Pedersen and Erik Thommesen (who also provides a short essay for the middle pages (printed on red paper). One hundred and thirty works are listed with prices. Notable here is the cover of the catalogue which retains an original Jorn silkscreen in two colours. All very good with only a small mark at the bottom of the front cover and a tiny chip missing of paper at the bottom of the spine. Very scarce.

18 x 14cm, 178pp plus printed card covers. A detailed biography and monograph of Vinkenoog's former-Cobra colleague Appel written while Vinkenoog was an active member of the Dutch Provo movement. With seventeen b/w reproductions of works, eight in full colour and seventeen b/w photographs of the artist and his life. A useful reference and insider's view of the early days of Cobra and Appel's later development. Laminate slightly peeling back on the spine but otherwise very good.

23 x 18cm, 24pp. Well-illustrated in black and white throughout, the cover is an original lithograph by Jorn. Twenty-six works listed as exhibited and all are reproduced here in b/w. An important catalogue displaying Jorn's Luxury Paintings where the artist turned to dripping and spilling of paint rather than his previous aggressive style with the brush. Jorn referred to these paintings as being part of a "Faustian world”. Fine.
