Publisher's Synopsis
A reissue of Issue No. 1 of the Cahiers d'Art revue originally published in 2012. Includes a lithograph by Ellsworth Kelly. Acquired by the Swedish collector Staffan Ahrenberg in 2011, 'Cahiers d'Art' refers at once to a publishing house, a gallery, and to a revue founded in 1926 by Christian Zervos at 14 rue du Dragon in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Cahiers d'Art was entirely unique: a journal of contemporary art defined by its combination of striking typography and layout, abundant photography, and juxtaposition of ancient and modern art, where writers like Tristan Tzara, Paul Éluard, René Char, Ernest Hemingway and Samuel Beckett often replaced the usual art critics. Ahrenberg, the Publisher of Cahiers d'Art, is joined by his key advisors, Sam Keller, Director of the Fondation Beyeler in Switzerland and Chairman of Art Basel, Hans Ulrich Obrist, art critic and Co-Director of the Serpentine Gallery in London.
