Dada A Paris

Paris: Jean Jacques Pauvert, 1965. First French Edition. Octavo. 25cm. Publisher's printed glossy card wraps. 642pp.; [6]. Light wear and scuffing to corners and spine ends, with some chipping and wear to the head of the spine, some soiling to the white rear panel, sunning to spine panel; internally clean and fresh. A very good copy of an unwieldy volume.

A highly regarded history, in French, of the people and work that formed the Dada movement, published at a point when the specifics of the art movement's genesis and personalities were less well known, and swiftly becoming the definitive introductory text for anyone interested in Dada and its offshoots. From the library of Nathaniel Tarn, noted poet, translator, and anthropologist.
