The 1981 original illustrated book titled "Beauregard" represents a remarkable collaboration between two artistic giants: Zao Wou-Ki, the renowned Chinese-French painter and printmaker, and Philippe Jaccottet, the celebrated Swiss poet. This limited edition work is numbered 105 out of 120 on vélin d’Arches paper and is notable for its blend of literary and visual artistry. Zao Wou-Ki: The Artist Zao Wou-Ki (1920–2013) was a master of lyrical abstraction, combining Eastern calligraphic traditions with Western modernist movements. His work often evokes a sense of fluidity and balance between abstract landscapes and inner emotional states. By the time of this collaboration, Zao Wou-Ki had already established himself as a leading figure in the international art world, particularly known for his prints and engravings, which brought his dynamic style to the intimate scale of the book. In "Beauregard", Zao Wou-Ki contributed five gravures, showcasing his expertise in etching and aquatint techniques. These illustrations are not mere visual accompaniments to the text; they are integral to the book’s atmosphere, echoing the lyrical and reflective tone of Jaccottet’s poetry. The frontispiece of the book, which is signed by the artist, is particularly significant, as it captures the essence of Zao Wou-Ki’s abstract landscape motifs—inviting the reader to enter a meditative space where visual and poetic imagery merge. Philippe Jaccottet: The Poet Philippe Jaccottet (1925–2021) is revered for his quiet yet profound explorations of nature, existence, and the passage of time. His poetry often reflects a deep connection to the natural world, where landscape and language intertwine to evoke a sense of mystery and transcendence. Jaccottet’s work is known for its subtlety, clarity, and philosophical depth, qualities that make it an ideal complement to Zao Wou-Ki’s art. "Beauregard" is a poetic reflection, likely inspired by Jaccottet’s experiences and contemplations in nature, resonating with the themes of beauty, perception, and the fleeting moments of life. The collaboration with Zao Wou-Ki enhances the reader’s experience, as the abstract gravures create an emotional and visual resonance with the poetry, leading to a rich, multi-sensory engagement with the text. Production and Printing This finely crafted edition was printed with meticulous attention to detail. The typography was handled by Robert Blanchet, a noted French typographer, ensuring that the text’s presentation matched the elegance of Jaccottet’s poetry and Zao Wou-Ki’s artwork. The gravures were printed by the esteemed Lacourière et Frélaut workshop, renowned for its work with prominent artists of the 20th century. The atelier’s mastery in printing delicate and complex etchings allowed Zao Wou-Ki’s artwork to come alive on the page, preserving the depth and texture of his original plates. Rarity and Collectibility This edition of "Beauregard" is extremely rare, with only 120 copies printed on vélin d’Arches paper, a high-quality, smooth paper often used for fine art prints and luxury books...

As "Bruce Cratsley", he exhibited in various New York galleries, like: Laurence Miller Gallery, Howard Greenberg Gallery and Witkin Gallery. Cratsley was represented by Yancey Richardson Gallery, a dealer of fine art photography based in SoHo. He was photographed by Elsa Dorfman who shot many luminaries including, Allen Ginsberg, Denise Levertov, Anaïs Nin and more.

"I'd been photographing David since long before he became sick [...] at some point I realized that this was an extraordinary thing that was happening, and that I had an intimate relationship to it. I photographed David just a few hours before he died, not knowing what was about to happen [...] David was very spiritual [...] My pictures are a poetic, spiritualized look at AIDS". In 1995 Cratsley was included together with Barbara Norfleet, Olivia Parker and John Sturges in the list of bestselling photographer at Robert Klein Gallery...

This striking original 1985 poster by Bulté celebrates the technological marvel of the Air France Concorde, capturing the supersonic aircraft soaring above the clouds against a deep blue sky. Designed to evoke power, speed, and elegance, the poster features a photographic composition emphasising Concorde's sleek, futuristic silhouette, with its distinctive needle nose and delta wings cutting through the stratosphere. The Air France livery, with its refined typography and French tricolour tailfin, highlights national pride in this engineering triumph. Concorde entered service in 1976, flying passengers between Paris, London, and New York at twice the speed of sound, reducing transatlantic flight time to just over three hours. It became an enduring icon of luxury air travel, technological ambition, and Franco-British cooperation. Bulté’s design exemplifies 1980s airline poster aesthetics: clean, photographic realism combined with aspirational imagery. The poster was issued by Air France as part of its promotion of Concorde flights to an elite clientele, reinforcing its position as the pinnacle of commercial aviation. Today, original Concorde posters...
