[U.AM.]. HERBST René. 25 years UAM. 1930-1955. Paris, Édition du Salon des arts ménagers, 1956. Approx. 150 pp. n.p.; flat-backed paperback in filled folder. Prefaces by friendly administrative figures, followed by reproductions of Louis Chéronnet's 1934 manifesto "Pour l'art moderne", an intervention by R. Mallet-Stevens, then G.H. Pingusson's 1949 manifesto and lists of UAM members at successive dates. The book then becomes essentially iconographic, with one to eight photos (usually 3 or 4) per page, presented in different thematic sections, distinguished by different paper colors from their initial page. Edition of 1,500 copies. Good condition, despite faded spine and last section detached from binding. (GZ02)
