Wildenstein, Georges (Daniel Wildenstein and Raymond Cogniat, editors)
Paris: Les Beaux-Arts, 1964.
First Limited Edition.

Endpapers with different versions of the artist's signature. Several blue ink and pencil notations pertaining to ownership/location of specific works. Otherwise pages clean and binding square.
This volume is part of "L'Art Français" series and is one of a numbered edition limited to 200 special copies numbered I to CC, printed with the name of the subscriber, and 2800 regular numbered copies. This copy is number II printed for Daniel Wildenstein as indicated on the limitation page.
An exhaustive listing of Gauguin's work, this large volume was written by Georges Wildenstein (1892 – 1962) and completed just before his death as related in the short text following the limitation page which describes the history of the book and the collaboration of George's son Daniel and Raymond Cogniat. This copy was Daniel Wildenstein's own copy, with the Roman numeral II, as evidenced by the custom limitation page. The Preface, signed by Georges Wildenstein, states that this catalogue of Gauguin's paintings is part of a series of work dedicated to research on French painters of the 17th – 19th centuries since 1921. The works are organized chronologically by year and within that year into typologies (portraits, compositions, landscapes, still-lifes). A second edition was re-written by Daniel Wildenstein and published as a 2-volume set in 2002.
This SPECIAL COPY belonged to Georges' son and successor in the business, Daniel and was definitely a WORKING COPY. There are small handwritten notations throughout, in blue ink and pencil, indicating new details about single works, and if new details have emerged on works that were thought lost (marked "perdu" in the catalogue), thus tracking the passage of ownership, deaths of collectors, gifts to museums, or names of owners which are were otherwise identified in print as "collection particulière" (private collection).
Daniel Leopold Wildenstein (11 September 1917 – 23 October 2001) was a French art dealer, historian and owner-breeder of thoroughbred and standardbred race horses. He was the third member of the family to preside over Wildenstein & Co., one of the most successful and influential art-dealerships of the 20th century. He was once described as "probably the richest and most powerful art dealer on earth". (Andrews, Suzanna. "Bitter Spoils" Vanity Fair, March 1998).
Wildenstein's grandfather, Nathan Wildenstein, established an art dealership on the Rue La Boétie in Paris after fleeing his native Alsace during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71.[3] He first specialized in 18th-century French painting and sculpture, later expanding to Italian, Dutch, Flemish and Spanish art. Although he had been working in a tailor's shop when he began to trade in art he proved extremely successful, selling to European collectors such as Edmond James de Rothschild and later to Americans such as J. P. Morgan, Henry Clay Frick, and to the Kress, Rockefeller, and Mellon families. He opened a New York gallery in 1903 and one in London in 1925.

Magnum Photobook, The Catalogue Raisonne
Located in New York, NY
The first complete illustrated bibliography of 1,000 iconic photobooks created by members of the renowned photo agency
This fascinating in-depth survey brings Magnum's history alive through the genre of the photobook, an essential vehicle for photographers to share their work.
Its pages include unpublished behind-the-scenes material, together with ephemera from the photographers' archives about the making of their books. With an introduction by Fred Ritchin and texts by Carole Naggar, this book explores the evolution of the photobook, as well as the important role that Magnum has played in the history of documentary photography.
"If the photographic life were a treasure hunt, The Magnum Photobook is a rightfully vaunted treasure chest. Fred Ritchin and Carole Naggar's introduction expanded my understanding of how the photobook, as expressed early and continuously by Magnum photographers, plays a critical role in defining and expressing a photographer's voice beyond the settings of assignment-based work. Then learning about the creation of each book is the richest of rewards, made all the more so by a final section of the book that shows the early iterations of many of the photobooks. This book about books is one that I must have in the library." —Mike Davis...
