The Tribute of The Great Masters of Modern Art to Paul Éluard

Paris From May 2, 2023 to June 29, 2023

On the occasion of its Web event "The homage of the great masters of Modern Art to Paul Éluard", the WD gallery is proud to offer you the rare prints of the masters of Modern Art from the legendary portfolio called "album A", reprinted from the tribute book to Éluard "A poem in each book" and published by Louis Broder in 1956.

The book is composed of 12 poems that Eluard himself chose without any apparent theme that unites them. The poet then asked 15 painter friends to illustrate them, making it a precious work to the glory of poetry and friendship. The book was printed in 120 copies and includes 16 prints unsigned by the artists.

After the printing of the book, Louis Broder decides to publish an offprint in 20 copies which he calls Album A and gathering only the prints from the book but with some significant differences.
Indeed, the album A purchased by the gallery and which comes from the prestigious collection of Genevieve and Jean Paul Kahn, contains the 16 prints appearing in the book but reproduced with large margins (i.e. in larger format than those of the book). They are also all signed or monogrammed by the masters of Modern Art.
Some Albums, and in particular ours which is Album A which Louis Broder reserved for himself (later purchased by Genevieve and Jean-Paul Kahn from the latter), have therefore been enriched in addition to the 16 prints by proofs of essay, state proofs, artists' proofs and certain proofs. It should be noted that these proofs are very rare, some having been printed in a single copy.

Album A and all the works it contains are visible by appointment at 06.20.26.92.55.
