Sculptor, painter, and abstract artist (1886–1966) who helped found the Dada movement. Signed book: Arp. First edition. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1958. Hardcover, 8.5 x 9.75, 126 pages. The catalogue from his Museum of Modern Art retrospective, featuring many of his most famous works.

Book condition: VG/None. Yellow cloth-covered boards; edges rubbed, with tiny tears in cloth at corners and spine-ends; gently shaken with small tear in paper over rear hinge; slightly yellowed.
