Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near fine condition. First edition. Oblong Quarto. 225pp. Original color-illustrated boards with brown lettering on spine. Frontispiece photograph. Contains eight stiff handmade color plates with blind-stamped lettering or imagery. "All the bronze sculptures in this exhibition were cast from recently discovered plasters made from Degas' original waxes during his lifetime and with his consent. This is remarkable since all the other bronzes one currently sees in museums and elsewhere were cast from masters made after the artist's death. Therefore, the bronzes in this exhibition can be considered the original versions, and all the others the second versions of the sculptures. Thus, for the first time, it will be possible for experts, scholars and the general public to compare the artist's bronzes in the before and after states, which is almost unparalleled in the history of art." (Paul and Belinda Firos). Illustrated with color reproductions and five blind-stamped prints of Degas' sculptures on stiff colored paper. With essays by Paul and Belinda Firos, Gregory Hedberg and June Hargrove. Minor wear along edges of boards.
