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.

23 x 16.5 hand made envelope (parchment) sealed with wax content of a 22 x 15.5cm, 4pp hand made paper card with tipped on 13.5 x 11cm original b/w offset lithograph. The extremely rare invitation to the Canadian Benoit's action which took place in Joyce Monsour's flat in Paris with Breton amongst others attending. The action took place just before the opening of the 1960 international surrealist exhibition and on the 150th anniversary of the libertine's death.

The climax of the event - where Benoit wore an ornate surrealist costume - was the self-branding of the artist with a suitably erotic symbol a stylised penis (quickly followed by Roberto Matta's inspired, copy-cat, albeit unplanned, self-marking).

Small 0.5 closed tear on the internal card but otherwise a fine example of this elusive documentation of a famous last surrealist event.

16 x 12.5cm, 6pp exhibition catalogue reproducing two drawings by Matta and two texts by the surrealist (one a poem). Twelve works noted and a short biography by Robert Melville. Slightly grubby and displaying minor handling creases but otherwise very good.

20.5 x 14cm, 1pp folded size opening out into an upside down "T" shape.

The advance announcement for the US surrealist journal on which Breton sat as one of editors along with Robert Motherwell, Matta, Max Ernst and William Carlos Williams. Four small b/w reproductions after Weegee, Ernst and Man Ray and a detailed poetic explanation of the choice of name: "V"; is for "double victory" over all that is opposed to the emancipation of the spirit. The reproductions were designed to be torn off and distributed but this copy is still intact albeit the fold line is cleanly torn - otherwise a very good copy of a fragile and essential document.
