19 x 14.5cm, unpaginated (c. 84pp) plus original wrappers. Thirsty full page lithographs after drawings by Valentine Hugo. Second edition although first thus with Hugo's illustrations of Eluard''s Dada-period cycle of poems. Hugo and Eluard worked together on a number of books during the late 30s and 40s of which this was one of the first. Fine condition. Scarce.

20 x 14cm cloth,covered boards - a period binding - content of the first edition of this keywork in the pre-history of surrealism, edited and with an introduction by Andre Breton. Original wrappers are retained. These letters, written during the war to Breton, T. Fraenkel and Louis Aragon, and gathered here for the first time constitute virtually all of Vache's literary output (a short story and a poem having been added to a later edition of the present work). The original wrappers have one small rub on the rear and the paper is mildly browned butstill crisp. One of 960 numbered examples (after the du tete of 10 on Japon and 30 on Hollande). Adverts for the Dada publication Litterature at the back of the book. VG+.

16 x 13.5cm, 242pp. Original wrappers. First edition of this monograph on the work of the dadaist. One of an unstated number of trade copies, this one has an ink dedication by Tzara on the half-title to Alain Cuny. Very good although paper somewhat browned due to the quality employed.

41 x 29cm, 6pp. Exhibition catalogue in form of a newspaper - seven works in colour and nine in b/w reproduced and a text (in Italian and French) by Maurizio Fagiolo. Folded for storage twice else VG+.

19.5 x 13cm 108pp plus original wrappers. First edition of this book of poems from the Rumanian avant garde-ist with a full page, woodcut portrait of the author by the dadist Ianco as frontispiece.

The internal paper is somewhat browned, the spine has a (8cm approx) closed tear along one edge and there is an orange crayon number on written on the cover from a former owner (not as intrusive as it sounds due to the colour of the wrappers) but nonetheless this is a scarce publication containing a great mid-period Janco work.

24 x 17cm, 4pp printed on card. Red and black exhibition catalogue / handout which lists recent exhibitions at Schwarz and also descriptions of the 46 works being shown, and a large b/w reproduction of Traumatismus, 1918. (There was an additional much more detailed catalogue for sale at the show and this version was essentially the wrappers of that larger catalogue handed out for free to visitors). Fine.

Uniformly 30 x 22cm, 8pp. Three separate numbers of this important literary magazine which reflected the American avant garde and regularly covered the Jazz age and European "imported" art (such as Dada). Ezra Pound was a contributing editor. Poems by Hector Rella, Marie Luhrs, Jules Romains, Rainer Maria Rilke and Boris Pasternak (in translation) and Vladimir Mayakovski and Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes (also from the Russian and the French respectively). Vol II Nr 5 has a long article "If Dada comes to America" by Samuel Putnam.

All copies are fragile, slightly browned and with edge wear and sadly the last of these three numbers is entirely torn down the spine but the other two are intact if with slightly rusted staples. There are also some former fold creases. Priced bearing in mind the condition problems. Scarce.

PRICE IS FOR ALL THREE ISSUES TOGETHER

19,5 x 14 cm, unpaginated (c.44pp) plus original wrappers with a reproduced drawing by Grosz.

First edition of this French consideration and appreciation of the Dadaist published at the end of the First World War and with thirty-two phototypes by Grosz at the end of the book. It is a fair assumption that Grosz's humorous and bitterly vicious sketches of the Teutonic bourgeoisie and German army leadership must have found a welcoming public in the victorious French people.

A fine example although a few late pages have light pencil additions under the images.
