Item description from seller

Cherry red matte wraps with yellow orange lettering and French flaps. [40] with duotone images throughout. Text in French and English. Catalogue from the gallery show of 1968. The 8 bronzes were executed in wax in Verona, and Magritte signed off on the waxes, from which molds and the eventual bronzes were made. Magritte never saw the actual bronze sculptures, as he died before they were completed. He died in August 1967, and the first two bronzes came out of the foundry in November. The sculptures included are: La Joconde, Madame Recamier, La Folie des Grandeurs, Le Puits de Verite, Le Therapeute, Les Graces Naturelles, La Race Blanche, and Les Travaux d'Alexandre. Each work is pictured in both study-drawings and the final piece. VG- internally with a gift inscription to former owner; spine rubbed at edges; covers age-toned along front spine.

Our specialties include the Humanities, with an emphasis on Art, Architecture, Photography, Decorative Arts, History, as well as Periodicals related to those areas. We have very rare as well as fairly common titles. Current inventory is approximately 79,000 titles. We have about 1000' of backlog in our specialties numbering over 30,000 items (including 20,000+ smaller and ephemeral catalogues devoted to individual artist exhibitions). Current stock occupies over 2.3 miles of shelving. We are active buyers as well as very active sellers, and supply entire reference libraries as well as individual titles. We ship books almost everywhere, with the exception of China due to restrictions. Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.
