Exhibition catalogue published in 1971 by Galerie Arnaud, Paris, presenting John Franklin Koenig's works of 1969–1971, with a bilingual dialogue between Koenig and his gallerist Jean-Robert Arnaud. 8vo (7 × 9.5 inches), pictorial wrap-around wrappers, illustrated in color and b/w. Text in French and English. Inscribed by Koenig on the title page to art critic Dore Ashton: “for Dore — avec un autre dialogue / John,” a playful reference to the dialogue at the center of the publication. American-born Koenig settled in Paris in 1948 and became an important participant in postwar French abstraction, co-founding both Galerie Arnaud and the influential art journal Cimaise. Ashton wrote on Koenig and his place within the postwar Parisian art world, making this a particularly apt association copy. From the library of Dore Ashton. Front hinge split, spine separated from text block. Text block binding sound notwithstanding. Minor bumping and light rubbing to extremities.
