Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
This catalog of an exhibition at New York's Guggenheim Museum presents the collections of surrealist artifacts of two close friends: magazine publisher Daniel Filipacchi and record producer Nesuhi Ertegun. It's a lot of art for the money--14 pounds of sophisticated book design in two oversized slipcased volumes; 1,000 full-color images printed in Germany on high-quality coated paper; short but piquant essays by unusually articulate art historians. Paintings and constructions are shown in Volume 1; drawings, collages, photographs, significant doodles, even exquisite book bindings in Volume 2. Though the great icons of surrealism are not included, the size and range of the publication allow the luxury of illustrating unusually large numbers of original works, never seen before, by such artists as René Magritte (38 paintings), Max Ernst (17), Yves Tanguy (18), and Salvador Dalí (21), beside those of dozens of influential but lesser-known artists. Many worked in several media: for example, Man Ray is known for his photographs, but three imaginative and skillful paintings are also included here. Surrealism was an intellectual movement that affected almost all the arts except music and dance; it became synonymous with extreme artistic cleverness and invention, qualities in abundance here, with surprises on almost every page. A picture of the movement emerges that would not be possible in a work of lesser scale. The personalities of the individual poets and artists emerge from anecdotes in the essays and group photographs and portraits, together with a useful collection of condensed biographies at the end of Volume 2. Surrealism: Two Private Eyes delivers what its luxurious exterior promises. --John Stevenson
From Library Journal
This hefty two-volume set presents what is probably the definitive artistic movement of the century. The Surrealists found a way to "put Freud on canvas," as Sanford Schwartz claimed, laying the basic foundation for much of contemporary art, pop culture, and advertising imagery. Ertegun and Filipacchi, two media moguls who collected Surrealist art, have provided a visual feast for this companion to this year's Guggenheim exhibit. A whopping 980 illustrations are presented, running the gamut from drawings, collage, and photography to uniquely Surrealist works. Because these works are from two private collections, omissions based on personal taste are evident and to be expected. What isn't expected, however, is the lack of supportive text. Most chapters have an introduction of only two pages, and most biographies are reduced to a paragraph. This limits the book's use and recommends it only to art history and specialty libraries.

I have been buying art books related to private collections for the past 10 years and this is the most comprehensive book of a private collection that I have seen. I has been divided for the works on canvas, paper, sculpture, art objects, etc. I am also a collector and if I would try to make a book of my own collection I would follow the same format of this book. Finnaly to make this book indispensable is the incledible collection that these two collectors where able to put together and to the Museum that made this exposition posible. To all art collectors this is a must of how an art collection should be.
