"Over the course of almost five decades, famed French magazine publisher Daniel Filipacchi and record producer Nesuhi Ertegun assembled two of the most important groupings of Surrealist art in private hands. This extraordinary two volume set, accompanying a 1999 Guggenheim Museum show (the only public exhibition of these collections) captures the full range, paradoxical nature, and fascinating aspects of the genre. Featuring works by leading figures such as Giorgio de Chirico, Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Rene Magritte, Man Ray, and Yves Tanguy, these volumes are comprised almost entirely of full-page, full-color reproductions. Major paintings, sculpture, photographs, works on paper, rare books, and ephemera appear alongside complimentary texts, creating a complete guide to one of the most intriguing movements in art history". A brand new, most handsome example in its decorative printed slipcase still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 0-8109-6921-1 Inventory Number: 010516
