An exceptional, curated pair of true first-edition monographs documenting the physical material textures, graphic philosophies, and avant-garde evolution of Spanish master Antoni Tàpies. Published in Barcelona by the legendary fine art press Ediciones Polígrafa, this grouping brings together two entirely distinct, out-of-print historical references:
-
- O L’Escarnidor de Diademes (1967 True First Edition): Featuring text by Francesc Vicens, an original “oráculo” by Joan Brossa, and landmark structural photography by Joaquim Gomis. A highly coveted, tactile layout capturing the raw, physical poetry of Tàpies’ early work.
- Tàpies: Witness of Silence (1972 First English Edition): Authored by prominent critic Alexandre Cirici. A monumental, comprehensive critical framework and deep historical survey spanning 372 pages with hundreds of archival plates.
An outstanding acquisition opportunity for collectors of post-war European abstraction and avant-garde print bibliography.
