"Bon à tirer: Ambroise Vollard, Editeur" Gallery Talk
Emanuel von Baeyer at Rafael Valls
Ann Dumas will be giving a talk in conjunction with the exhibition "Bon à tirer: Ambroise Vollard, Editeur." Vollard invested his profits as an art dealer in the publication of ambitious art books and prints. These sizeable publications includ La Maison Tellier by Maupassant and illustrated by Edgar Degas or La Tentation de Saint Antoine by Flaubert, illustrated by Odilon Redon. Vollard experimented with materials, developed special types of paper and tried out different typographies. Many of these publications were so long in the making - indeed, some were scrapped and wholly re-conceived - that a number of them remained unfinished at the time of Vollard's death. He is undoubtedly one of the leading French art dealers in the traditional sense of the word during the first half of the twentieth century. The gallery talk will be held at Emanuel von Baeyer at Rafael Valls, 6 Ryder Street, London SW1Y 6BQ, United Kingdom at 5pm.
