Max Ernst

Artist: Max Ernst 
Author: Toni del Renzio 
Publisher: ICA 
Date: 1961 
Condition: A little tanning to the spine of the printed card covers, also some light handling marks. Internally clean and tidy, with some illustrations in black and white. Includes a loosely inserted printed list of the exhibits in the Tate exhibition 

A relatively scarce item, this catalogue, designed by Richard Hamilton and Gordon House, was published to accompany a party at the Tate Gallery for ICA friends and members during the run of the Max Ernst retrospective. Including an essay by the notoriously combative surrealist artist and writer Toni del Renzio, images of Ernst and his work by Lee Miller and a slew of period advertising (Sotheby's, Marlborough, Gimpel Fils etc.), this would be rather an interesting addition to the shelves of anyone interested in Ernst and his period.
