[LASZLO, Carl] - La Lune en Rodage. Basel: Carl Laszlo, Edizioni Panderma, 1960. A rare limited edition of a portable collection of post-war and contemporary art with some unique artworks including Fontana's ball-point drawings. This copy is no. 41 of 150 copies and the first of the La Lune en Rodage series of books (there were also 65 hors commerce printed). The work was printed in three volumes published in 1960, 1965 and 1977 containing a total of approximately 180 art pieces which provide an account of the artistic avant-garde scene between the 1950s and 1970s. The art works were gathered by Carlo Laslzo and included the greatest artists of the time who contributed with important pieces, often marking a turning point in their production and carriers: Enrico Castellani’s work for example is his first documented graphic piece. Other unique artworks or pieces signed by the artists are those of Lino, Prachensky, Crippa, Onorio, Lora, Mack, Bischoffshausen, Brauer, Arman, Milet e Munari. Oblong 4to (234 x 332mm). 56 (of 63) original artworks, prints, photographs, tipped in sheets of printed text and music (some works varying from book to book) by various artists including Bruno Munari, Eugène Ionesco, Meret Oppenheim, Enrico Castellani, Victor Vasarely, Arman, Hans Arp, Crippa and many others (lacking 7 works including the bas-relief on front cover, without tipped-in errata slip). Original boards imitating wood, canvas spine with woven lettering and screws (joints week, some rubbing to extremities and light soiling).
