AN INCOMPLETE BUT EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF 48 ISSUES OF POQUETTES VOLANTES (LE DAILY BUL) (59 = ALL). 1965 – 1979

Bruxelles: le Daily Bul, n.d. (1965 – 1979)

48 numbers + one promotional card – a very substantial run from this series (59 = ALL) of artist’s books released by Pol Bury and Balthazar under their Poquette Volantes imprint (part of le Daily Bul) and with strong ties to the Belgium surrealist group (in many ways one could make a case for the group around Le Daily Bul to be the heirs to the traditions of Magriette, Nouge etc: after all Bory and Balthazar both contributed to Les Levres Nues and other official group publications).

So close were the group’s ties to their predecessors that several of the surrealist group of Belgium are represented here with Paul Colinet (3 different books), de Jong, Marcel Marien and the editors themselves supplying individual projects. Also included here are important publications by Lourdes Castro and Robert Filliou (both of which are keenly sought in their own right outside of the collection) as well as contributions from Rene Bertholo, Koenig, Searle, Dax and Alchinsky amongst others. The print run was usually 1,000 numbered copies: individual numbers are sometimes encountered but it is somewhat difficult to gather large runs albeit incomplete as here. All near fine with only minor fading to the coloured boards the only flaws.
