Four numbers, uniformly 27 x 21cm, 88pp, 96pp, 108pp and 132pp respectively. The penultimate surrealist journal which received Breton's approval (and arguably the last as  L'Archibras was published posthumously to Breton despite the latter's assent to the publication). Contributors include Alechinsky, Auduin, Benayoun, Bedouin, Dax, Ivsec, Luca, Mansour (the contributions), Mayoux, Nouge, Svanberg amongst others. Illustrated throughout in b/w by the likes of Toyen, Parent, Camancho, Klapheck and others. All in very good condition although nr 6 has some minor chipping to the wrappers.

Price is for all four numbers - we may sell individual numbers from the set do enquire.

54 x 21pp, 2pp. Black on green paper Public tract (anonymously written) given to journalists during the exhibition L’Ecart absolu (also known as the Exposition internationale du Surréalisme,in the galerie de l'Œil à Paris) attempting to justify the movement's existence in the last years of its activities. Signed in print by the usual suspects - Alechinsky, Audoin, Bedoin, Benoit, Breton, Camacho, Dax, Legrand, Ivsic, Joubert, Le Brun, Mansour, Parent and Toyen amongst others.

25 x 19cm, 2pp black on pink. Surrealist tract attacking the evolution of the French Communist Party into early euro-communism and leaving revolutionary activity behind as well as reawakening old scores between the Group and Aragon. Breton had died the previous year and the group was de facto leaderless at this point although there were no shortage of pretenders. Signed in print by Audoin, Bedoin, Benoit, Camacho, Dax, Ivsic, Le Brun, Mansour, Parent and Toyen amongst others. Fine.

27 x 21cm, 1pp black on yellow paper. One of the last hurrahs of the official surrealists condemning the public representation of Marcel Duchamp (in a painting) being beaten up by the pop artists. Hardly worth the spleen but signed nonetheless by over 40 of the group including Breton, Audoin, Benoit, Dax, Estienne, Lebel, Lebrun, Mansour, Parent, Schwarz, and Toyen. This is the true first edition printed on red/orange - this copy came indirectly from Breton's own collection. Fine.
