Gagosian
Gallery, Paris 8E | PARIS | FRANCE
OCTOBER 19, 2017-DECEMBER 22, 2017
“Picasso:
By the Book” will run concurrently with “Picasso and Maya: Father and
Daughter,” in the Paris gallery. Curated by Douglas Flamm, Gagosian’s rare-book
specialist, this bookstore will be devoted solely to Picasso. Included will be
an in-depth selection of significant Picasso publications, including Christian
Zervos's thirty-three volume catalogue raisonné published by Cahiers d’Art,
which remains the closest thing to a comprehensive cataloguing of Picasso’s
vast oeuvre for specialists and scholars. Other selections include a complete
original set of the periodical Minotaure, published by Editions Skira 1933–39,
Jean Cocteau’s Picasso de 1916 à 1961 (a special edition with two extra suites
of prints), and Picasso’s 1964 illustrated book, Le Carmen des Carmen, which
includes three aquatints, one drypoint etching, and a lithograph. Rare
monographs and noteworthy catalogues such as a 1932 exhibition at Galerie
Georges Petite, and Picasso's last exhibition during his lifetime, in 1973 at
the Palais des Papes, Avignon, will be available for sale, alongside
contemporaneous art journals in which Picasso published his work, including
early issues of Verve, and Cahiers d’Art. The shop will also feature prints and
ceramics by Picasso as well as vintage exhibition posters and photographs of
the artist by Arnold Newman, Lucien Clergue, and Edward Quinn. The store will
be open within gallery hours, Tuesday–Saturday, 11am–7pm. For inquiries about
available publications please contact Douglas Flamm at dflamm@gagosian.com.
