Unoriginal Sins is an established venture trading in the field of the contemporary and modern avant garde movements from 1900 to the present day. We have a vast inventory of books, documents, artworks, ephemera, object multiples, LPs and other digital media as well as representing major collections from significant artists.

We trade almost entirely online - we purchase new material all the time and offer regular clients email lists (which you can sign up to here) of new arrivals. Soon after the distribution of those lists, new items are placed online so it is worth returning regularly to this site to see what new things are for sale.

It may be possible to visit in person and see our inventory but that is by appointment only - please email us. We can supply references for new clients should that be required.

We are always looking for new material to add to our stocks - we have a desiderata here but we are interested in all material that is similar to our core interests. Do get in touch.

POEMES POUR TOUS. 1952. ELUARD’S LAST BOOK WITH A DEDICATION FROM MARCEL COHEN & ADDITIONALLY SIGNED BY TRISTAN TZARA

£145.00

Paris: Les Amis du Livre Progressiste, 1952

18 x 11cm, 244pp. Bound in period leather binding. First edition thus of this collection of poems (1917 – 1952) from the former surrealist and post-war darling of nationalist France. Frontal photographic portrait of the poet in b/w and other illustrations elsewhere in the text.

This copy is augmented by a nice and extensive dedication in blue ink by the ethnologist and linguist Marcel Cohen: “un souvenir pour Jeannette (the second name is hard to read it may be: Anghel? Tenghel? Terghel?) d’un compagnon de lutte du grand Eluard Marcel Cohen” and then, additionally, signed in blue ink by the dada-ist Tzara and another dedication above in an unknown hand which reads “En souvenir de ces grands jours de lutte, des communards aux resistants, de belles et glorieuses pages de l’histoire proletarienne paris ce 5/6/55” and the hard to read signature of “Muro(?) des Fedines”.

This was Eluard’s last book published in his lifetime as the poet died in November of 1952 from heart problems. One small area of damage (a minor loss of the binding) to the top of the spine of the leather binding (the missing piece is retained for repair) which is also split down the edge for about 2cm otherwise VG. Unique association copy.
