18.5 x 12.2cm, 48pp plus card covers. A reprinting of the manifesto written by Dotremont in 1949 for the exhibition internationale d'art experimental at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. There are three reproduced drawings by Jorn hors text. An uncut near fine example.

27.5 x 21.5cm, 40pp. Original wrappers. The first and only issue of this journal issued by the Rixes group under the leadership of Edouard Jaguer - a journal which includes textual contributions by Michel Butor, Henin, Dotremont, Huelsenbeck, and Oyvind Fahlstrom and reproductions of works by Wilhelm Freddie, Asger Jorn, Hartung as well as original lithographs by Matta and de Christine which are laid in and removable. A very good example of a scarce post-war surrealist /avant garde journal.

21. 5 x 27 cm, 1pp brown on beige. Invite for a public discussion of three Danish films and "des bruits rares" involving Noel Arnaud, Yves Bastini, Christian Dotremont, Jacques Kober and Jean Laude amongst others. Fine condition.<br />

Bruxelles: s.p., 1948

21.7 X 27 cm, 1pp black on beige announcement leaflet for "Perspectives du Surrealisme Revolutionnaire" organised by Noel Arnaud, Christian Dotremont, Rene Passeron.

28 x 22.5cm, 32 unnumbered pages. 19 offset lithographs by Jorn and Dotremont. Printed wrappers housed in publisher's slipcase. First edition. One of 300 numbered examples (all published) of this exemplary post-Cobra period collaboration. A text introduction by Alechinsky is followed by lithographic reproductions of the title cycle of "word-pictures" executed by Jorn and Dotremont between 1948 & 53. During the winter of 1951-2, Dotremont spent 3 months in Silkeborg Sanitarium (suffering from tuberculosis) in the same ward as Jorn. Here, they worked on a series of "black-humored" word-picture drawings on the theme of hospital life. Guy Atkins has remarked that "All the drawings in this book are remarkable for the way that the words and images wander over and into each other and become inextricable, and for the rough and smudgy self-assurance of the brush and pen strokes". A fine example in very good slipcase with a little sun damage to the latter.
