No Binding. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. 146 x 208mm; solander box with 12 offset lithographs and 5 loose catalogue sheets with a loose card cover [one catalogue sheet duplicated]. Scarce fugitive catalogue for Paolozzi's series of Wittgensteinian screenprints, reproduced here in miniature. For the exhibition at Editions Alecto, 4 May - 5 June 1965. One of the earliest artistic engagements with Wittgenstein's life and ideas. Paolozzi became interested in Wittgenstein through biographical anecdotes - the outsider, the austere thinker - but these works show a deep appreciation of Wittgenstein's work, with Paolozzi quoting widely from Wittgenstein's writings and making particular use of the image of a man apart from the world who was nevertheless a soldier, a traveller, teacher and most of all, lover of 'low' culture. Good condition: box worn as usual, somewhat squashed, with the paper peeling on one side; internal contents fine.

The 20th century philosopher Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein (18898-1951) is considered to be one of the greatest philosophers of modern time.

London, Editions Alecto Very good, box rubbed to extremities and slightly crushed, loose leaves and lithographs bright and presentable.  An attractive little Paolozzi confection combining several related items with the scarce catalogue, issued as loose sheets in a box, for the exhibition of Paolozzi's collages inspired by the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein. 'Mechanised melody. Melodious interpretation of mechanical theme. What he thinks and knows. How to find fictional correlatives for his beliefs. The result is so violent as to extort a scream, either soon abates or it must destroy the sufferer.' (From the introduction by Paolozzi titled 'Wild Track for Ludwig'). .
