Album Boris Grigoriev "Russische Erotik" 1921
 

Bring to your attention one of the rarest emigre publications on Russian art early twentieth century - an album by Boris Grigoriev, Russian erotica "(Boris Grigoriew" Russische Erotik "), published in 1921 in Munich, 300 copies. Approximate the history of this book can be read here http://artinvestment.ru/news/exhibit...grigoriev.html
The album consists of "deaf" neillyustrirovannoy folder and 12 sheets of illustrations the size of 315mm x 395mm, the first of which acts as a cover sheet. The lyrics there. On some instances on the outside of the folder, pasted a small sticker (110mm x 75mm) with the name of the artist, title and numbered copies. In this instance there is no sticker. It is not lost, as there are no traces of glue, it just does not glued. We immediately began the publication of the complexity of the content and frivolity this instance, apparently because of the number destined to destruction, and therefore do not have to bother with the sticker. The folder has tears in places bend valves. The edges of some pages slightly stained by reversing, in 3 sheets are folds and minor tears no deeper than 7-8 mm from the edge. The rest of the publication is striking in its preservation, especially given the historical realities of age, large size and poor quality paper. Album extreme rarity, practically does not occur. $ 65,000
Ready to answer any questions.

All day good!
I do not want to upset you, Michael100, but any potential buyer is certainly inquire about the sales statistics and determines that the price is more than exaggerated. This publication on auction.fr estimated at 10-15 thousand euros. Given that there - provenance and preservation. Nevertheless, you have really rare and valuable edition. All the best!

Yes, and this price is too high. Even such a famous masterpiece of erotic art as engraving by Agostino Carracci (Agostino Carracci, 1557 - 1602), published as a «L` Aretin d `Augustin Carrache ou Receuil de Postures Erotiques, d` apres les Gravures al `eau-forte par cet Artiste celebre» was sold on
http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/l...jectID=4698933 for 8400 euros. And then the artist and his work is much more famous. Erotica, though not "Russian" slightly "more sophisticated ones will be." The publication in 1798, circulation 550 copies. Yes, it's repetition, but we must note that the original XVI century, almost entirely destroyed, and that fragmentary preserved, is in the British Museum and not available for collectors. Pictures here do not give, they can look, for example, http://www.arterotismo.it/AgostineCaracci/index.htm or http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki /A...tic_engravings

Mimoprohodil, I'm afraid that you were quick in quoting from auction.fr. In ten or fifteen thousand euros were evaluated not for their own lithographs and original picture to this album.
