The Collection
Home Page > Works > ConstellationsDescription
Corrected proofs of the poems written in 1958 by Breton about Joan Miró’s gouaches dating from 1941, using their titles.
In 1958, Breton wrote a series of poems entitled Constellations from Joan Miró's 1941 gouaches, using the same titles. The set was published in a deluxe edition by Pierre Matisse in New York in the following year, before being reprinted in Breton’s collection Signe ascendant, published by Gallimard in 1968. Breton had first written an introduction, for the gallery L'œil, before sending the poems. The proofs of the New York edition gathered here are incomplete (the complete set should include twenty-two poems). [Atelier André Breton website, 2005]
Corrected proofs, December 1958.
- 17 oblong in-8° pages, dated, titled and signed with hand written notes and corrections in red ink by André Breton. [auction catalogue, 2003]
