Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: NOGARET, Armand Frédéric Ernest)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 44 pp. Small 4to (185 x 130 mm.), late 19th-cent. brown half-morocco signed “Knecht,” spine gilt. Paris: Lebrun, 1782. An important and rare sale catalogue, fully priced throughout and with nearly all buyers’ names in a contemporary hand. This was the third and final portion of Nogaret’s collection to be sold during his lifetime (1st: Lugt 2791; 2nd: 3153); his estate sale in 1807 (Lugt 7210) offered the inferior leftovers. In the avertissement, Lebrun, this auction’s expert, declares that this catalogue offers an unparalleled selection of Italian paintings. “[Joseph Hyacinthe François de Paule de Rigaud, comte de] Vaudreuil, whom Alexandre de Tilly remembered as the most magnificent courtier of Louis XVI’s reign, now emerged as the principal figure among a group of ambitious officeholders in the entourages of the queen and the comte d’Artois whose expenditure on luxury objects functioned, at one level, to legitimize their recent appointments to positions of power…Nogaret (1734-1806)… quickly assembled collections of paintings and furniture through the offices of the dealer Lebrun, who was also responsible for guiding Vaudreuil’s purchases…”–C. Bailey, Patriotic Taste: Collecting Modern Art in Pre-Revolutionary Paris (2002), pp. 174. The present catalogue describes 116 painting lots (by Guercino; Ludovico, Agostino, and Antonio Carracci; Correggio; Pietro da Cortona; Giorgione; Titian; Murillo; Maratta; Panini; Rubens; Rembrandt; A. Brouwer; Metsu; Cuyp; Ruysdael; van der Neer; I. van Ostade; Vouet; Poussin; S. Bourdon; Le Nain; Watteau; Lancret; Natoire; F. Boucher; Greuze; Fragonard; etc., etc.); nine sculptures; and 17 drawings and miscellaneous group lots. This copy is profusely annotated with several layers of contemporary notes. The great collectors and dealers of the time are noted as buyers in the margins — e.g. Lebrun, Donjeux, De Vouge, Langlier, Lebrun jeune, Paillet, Dulac, Quesnay, Hamon, “[Nicolas] Lenoir, arch. de l’Opera,” etc. In addition to these, in what looks like a different hand, a connoisseur has recorded the earlier auction history for a number of lots. A fine copy, with plentiful information on provenance. Engraved bookplate of G[eorges] P[annier] (1853-1944), the Parisian art dealer, and stamp of the Bibliothèque Heim on verso of title. ❧ Lugt 3392. See Blanc, Trésor de la Curiosité, Vol. II, pp. 60-62. P. Michel, Peinture et Plaisir: Les Goûts Picturaux des Collectionneurs Parisiens au XVIIIe Siècle (2010), pp. 62, 303, 307, & 312.

Title: DADA 1916-1923: Catalog of the Exhibition
Author: DUCHAMP, MARCEL; JANIS, SIDNEY
Seller: The Manhattan Rare Book Company (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: New York: Sidney Janis Gallery, 1953. First edition. Custom box. Very Good. DUCHAMP'S FAMOUS "CATALOG" FOR THE CELEBRATED 1953 DADA RETROSPECTIVE. "Duchamp planned, organized, and installed a major historical show of international Dada at the Janis Gallery in 1953. More than two hundred works of art and documents were on view, each one identified in a Duchamp-designed 'catalog' that was itself pure Dada - a tissue-thin broadsheet with written texts (by Jean Arp, Richard Huelsenbeck, Jacques-Henri Lévesque, and Tristan Tzara) in contrasting typefaces, set in narrow columns that ran diagonally down the page. When the sheets were delivered to the gallery, Duchamp took one, crumpled it up into a ball, and told Janis to mail it as it was, and Janis did so, to the confusion of numerous art lovers who wondered why they were being mailed trash. (A wicker basket of crumpled catalogs stood beside the gallery door at the opening.) "Duchamp was represented in Janis's Dada show by four works: Tu m', his last painting on canvas; To Be Looked at (from the Other Side of the Glass) with One Eye, Close to, for Almost an Hour, the glass study he had done in Argentina; the ready-made Fresh Widow; and Janis's replica of Fountain, installed over the door at the entrance, with a sprig of mistletoe dangling from its inverted bowl." (Calvin Tomkins, Duchamp: A Biography, 378-9).  With text by Hans Arp, Richard Huelsenbeck, Jacques-Henry Lévesque, Tristan Tzara; Arp's and Tzara's texts were translated by Duchamp. Ref. Schwarz 543. New York: Sidney Janis Gallery, 1953. Single sheet of thin tissue-like paper, 25x38 inches (96.5x63.5 cm). It's possible this example was crumpled, but it clearly has been stored flat and folded now for some time. With closed tear at center (with no loss); a few tiny tears at folds and edges. Housed in custom cloth box. Rare in such good condition. AN ESSENTIAL PIECE OF DADA HISTORY.

Title: The Monastery
Author: Scott, Walter Scott
Seller: Biblioctopus (United States)
Description: Edinburgh: printed for Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, London; and for Archibald Constable and Co., and John Ballantyne, Bookseller to the King, Edinburgh, 1820. First Edition. 3 vols. 1st edition. Original boards and labels, rebacked with new endpapers (a fitting match). Soiled and worn else very good, but troublesome to weigh against other sets, because variables won’t and constants aren’t. Just after publishing Ivanhoe, Scott returned to his Scottish roots for this novel. The monastery of the title is Saint Mary’s Cistercian Abbey and the action is mostly within or surrounding it. The time is the Scottish Reformation (16th century) when the religious question had not been settled, but Scott wrote as the detached narrator, and presents its resolution as inevitable. The characters are (as is the custom in historical romance) a gathering (or a compaction) of real and fictional figures, playing out their personal, petty roles, rendered (and contrasted) against the great events surrounding them, as worldly life goes on, oblivious to all private vicissitudes and recoveries. The only grown–up hero, with a marginally objective sense of the times, is the Catholic Benedictine/Cistercian monk, Sub-Prior Eustace (once William Allan) who fights for his lost cause as stubbornly and gallantly, as would Robert E. Lee, 300 years later.
