Catalog published in conjunction with John Chamberlain's 1964 exhibition at Galerie Ileana Sonnabend in Paris, among the artist's earliest important European gallery presentations, contemporaneous with his inaugural appearance at the Venice Biennale. 4to (7” x 10.5”), printed wrappers, 16 unpaginated pages, b/w illustrations, biography and exhibition chronology. Text in French, with contributions by Barbara Rose and Michael Sonnabend.
A striking example of early Sonnabend gallery ephemera, designed in the severe modernist typographic style associated with the gallery's groundbreaking presentations of postwar American art in Europe. Chamberlain's assemblage sculpture is documented here in crisp monochrome plates that underscore the formal and painterly qualities of the work.
Mild damp staining to lightly rubbed wrappers; some rippling to bottom edge. Minor foxing to top edge of front wrapper.
