Description:
Knokke-Zoute Guy Pieters Gallery 1989, 1989. First edition. Signed in brown pastel crayon by Christo with his distinctive signature. From the introduction, Masahiko Yanagi describes this work as follows: "In December 1984, amidst final preparations for The Pont Neuf Unwrapped, Paris, 1975-1985, Christo created several drawings of imagined umbrellas set in an anonymous landscape. Thus began The Umbrellas, Joint Project for Japan and USA, in which the artist is endeavouring to temporarily install 3,000 giant octagonal umbrellas, simultaneously in two sites one in Ibaraki, Japan, and the other in California, USA. If we try to locate The Umbrellas within the spectrum of Christos's creative efforts, it can be considered as rural rather than urban and among his constructed rather than wrapped temporary works of art". This is in very good condition with some slight tears to the bottom of the front cover. A rare copy and very scarce signed by Christo.

Spotting and marking to covers and some bumping to extremities. Bookseller label of Brentano's Paris on rear pastedown. Internally very good and overall this is a nice copy of a scarce title describing Macdonald's experiences serving in the French Army during the First World War. Inscribed on the front free endpaper: "To Charles-Henry Hirsch with the author's sincere admiration". Tipped in to the front pastedown is a letter from Macdonald to Hirsch dated 4th January 1915. Written in French, it is identifiable as being to Hirsch by Macdonald's reference to Hirsch's story "Tipperary" and to his novel "Le Tigre et Coquelicot". At the time of this letter, Hirsch was regarded as an important writer and significant figure. Now almost completely forgotten, swept away by the modernists who…
