Salvador Dali. Dali - A Study of his Art-in-Jewels. The New York Graphic Society, 1959.

Price: US$150.00 + shipping

Condition: Fine

Description: Dali A study of his Art-in-Jewels; The Collection of The Owen Cheatham Foundation; foreword by A. Hyatt Mayor, Comments and Captions by the Artist, edited by Lida Livingston; The New York Graphic Society; Greenwich, Connecticut, 1959. From Dali s Comments My jewels are a protest against emphasis upon the cost of materials of jewelry. My object is to show the jewels art in true perspective where the design and craftmanship are to be valued above the material worth of the gems, as in Renaissance times. There is a tipped in black and white portrait of Dali and tipped in full page colour illustrations of 28 of his wonderous pieces. They are numbered in Roman Numerals I to XXVIII. Then there is a laid-in fold over portfolio in the back of the book with number XXIX The Angel Cross that was completed in May, 1960. A spectacular piece! This book has 67 pages measuring 260mm X 220mm and the size of the tipped in plates vary. The book is in fine condition in a very good box. The box is sound with no cracks at all, it is just a bit scuffed and soiled. This is a beautiful copy of a scarce Dali item that was published with the Artist s significant involvement.

The book is boldly signed (in the flambouyant manner of Dali himself) on the inside front cover by Alemany, to John Lebolt of Lebolt & Company, renowned Chicago jewelry firm. There is a spectacular and unique lineage of ownership and handling of this book of Dali jewelry images. Signed in 1962 the book includes, tipped in, three formal photo illlustrations of additional pieces crafted between 1959 and 1962. Dali authographs are naturally prized in their own right but are notably available. Autographs of the Jeweler artist who personally handcrafted each unique Dali designed jewelry piece are rare. The importance, distinction and rarity of this ALEMANY signed book is singularly special if not unique in connection with Salvador Dali's artistry. UNIQUE. [B73-browncase cache]

Description: DALI, SALVADOR. (1904-1989). Spanish Catalan surrealist painter famous for the striking and bizarre images in his work. The book: DALI: A Study of His Art-in-Jewels / The Collection of the Owen Cheatham Foundation . 67 pages, folio. Copyright 1959, The New York Graphics Society / Greenwich, Connecticut. Black cloth, gilt impressed spine, with white gilt impressed covers. Original photo illustrated slip case. First edition, thus. Boldly inscribed by Dali on the inside front cover and blank front endpaper, creating a magnificent full 2 page spread illustration which he has drawn. He writes: ''Pour Contesse Victoria de Ramel / nord su compleanos enero [for your birthday in January] / 27 1965 / Dali''. The illustration depicts a large birthday cake [incorporating yet a second Dali signature] topped by a crown and yet another crown and cross above it, against a barren landscape. The book is also additionally inscribed by CARLOS ALEMANY, the Argentinean jeweler craftsman who uniquely and personally hand made all of the Salvador Dali jewelry: To Vicky as a remembrance of los tiernpos passados [past times] Carlos Alemany / Janaury 27th, 1965'. This volume also contains [tipped in], three formal photo illustrations/printed descriptions of additional pieces crafted between 1956 and 1961 that were added to the collection. (The collection was originally on loan at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Richmond, Virginia, and now, we believe, housed in Spain.) A wonderful, typical Dali drawing, fully inscribed and bearing 2 Dali signatures, with the added bonus of the Alemany s inscription on a separate leaf. Just a superb display item!
