Belgium: CoBrA, 1951

34 x 22cm, 24pp. Pictorial wrappers. A single (and last) issue of the CoBrA publication with texts by Pierre Alechinsky, Christian Dotremont and Michel Ragon and others, which includes the catalogue list (bound in) of the last CoBrA show in Liege (Palais des Beaux-Arts) and loosely inserted Charles Estienne's text "Preludes aux noces" and the film programme "Petit festival du film experimental et abstrait" organised by Jean Raine which took place parallel to the exhibition; some minor wear to front cover and some signs of brown spotting to internal wrappers and last page but still a very good copy of this rare publication. JOINT: The rare publisher's wrap around bandeau - some tears at join but over all very good.

Catania: Editions New Gallery, 1974 21 x 21cm, 88 pages. Original wrappers. Exhibition catalogue of the painterly abstract works of the poet and close friend of Marcel Broodthaers. Texts by J.J.Leveque, R. Derouville and Raine. Very good although there is a former library plastic corner glued into the inside back cover.

Bruxelles: Galerie les Contemporains/Galerie Saint-Laurent, 1965 11.5 x 19.5cm, 16pp. Card covers. Exhibition catalogue for the French surrealist and expressionist painter which is also notable for the photograph on the rear cover which is credited in print to Broodthaers. A rare and somewhat unknown Broodthaers' original contribution. Some fading to the spine and minor bumping to corners otherwise very good.

JEAN RAINE. 1962. WITH BROODTHAERS’ WRAP-AROUND COVER.

paul robertson — Wed, 17 Jan 1962 09:43:21 +0000

Bruxelles: Galerie Saint-Laurent, 1962 19.5 x 11.8cm, 8pp self covers. Exhibition catalogue for the French surrealist and expressionist painter which is also notable for the photograph on the wrap around cover which is credited in print to Broodthaers and a short text-poem for Raine reprinted on the 6th page "L'oiseau de feu A Jean Raine". This publication proceeds Broodthaer's famous decision to become an artist-poet and is a rare example of his activities as critic, writer and formal poet. Fortyb works by Raine noted alongside three lithographs by the painter. Fine.

DOUZE POEMES D’AMOUR. 1957. DEDICATION COPY.

paul robertson — Thu, 17 Jan 1957 12:11:59 +0000

Bruxelles: Editions du Frene, 1957 18 x 12cm, 18pp. Printe wrappers. First edition. One of a 'stated' numbered issue of 250. A cycle of experimental poems by the Belgian Cobra-group contributor, Broodthaers' comrade, and all around avant-gardist. This copy extensively inscribed at the half-title by the author. Some minor wear to wrappers, else a very good example. Scarce thus.
