JARDIN DES ARTS - Lot 171
JARDIN DES ARTS Jardin des Arts. No. 87 — February 1962. Paris, Librairie Jules Tallandier, 1962. In-4, paperback, color-illustrated cover based on a work by Piero della Francesca, approximately 100 pp., numerous black-and-white and color photographs and reproductions, both in the text and as inserts. The journal, founded by René Wittmann, was then edited by Henri Perruchot. A professional catalog entry accurately describes Issue No. 87 as a 100-page, quarto-sized paperback, lavishly illustrated. A particularly rich issue, featuring notably: Dominique François, “Piero della Francesca”; Yvan Christ, “Dijon, a Great City of Art”; Henri Perruchot, “Ambroise Vollard, Art Dealer”; J. Lestocquoy, “The Château de Biron”; Pierre Joly, “The Birth of a Bust”; Luc Benoist, “When Museums Themselves Become Masterpieces”; Gérald Gassiot-Talabot, The Situation of Bissière; Daniel Bernet, Modern Urban Planning Is Five Thousand Years Old; Michel Ragon, The Sculptor in the City; Claire-Hélène Huyghe, Art Reproductions: The Enduring Legacy of Antiquity. The table of contents in your copy corresponds exactly to the bibliographic entries found; Gassiot-Talabot’s study on Roger Bissière is specifically referenced on pp. 60–67. The cover features a detail from Piero della Francesca’s *Virgin of Mercy*, housed in Sansepolcro—a choice directly linked to the study that opens the issue. Complete copy in good internal condition. The cover shows signs of wear, slight scuffing, and small creases at the corners and spine; the interior is clean and fresh. A good copy for reading and reference.
