Title: JUAN GRIS: Catalogue Raisonné of the Paintings : Catalogue raisonné de l’oeuvre peint
Author: Cooper, Douglas ; Alan Hyman (ed)
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9781556603372
Description: San Francisco: Alan Wofsy, 2014. 2 vols. 31cm., hardcover, 512, 552pp., 900 illus., more than half in color. Summary: The first edition of the catalogue raisonné of the paintings of Juan Gris was published in Paris in 1977, in a limited edition of 800 copies. It has been out of print for a number of years and the publisher of this publication obtained permission from the heirs of the original publisher, Heinz Berggruen and from the successor in interest to the author, the J. Paul Getty Trust, for this second edition.

This Second Edition revises and adds the following to the First Edition: 1) More than half the works are now reproduced in color. 2) A number of related works have been added to the catalogue. 3) Cooper translated his own French introduction into English, intended for a book of essays that was never published. It appears here for the first time. 4) Cooper annotated his own copy of the catalogue between 1977-1984 with new provenance and corrections to the first edition. These annotations appear in this edition at each relevant entry as Cooper Annotations. 5) The Avis au Lecteur which is a guide to the catalogue is now translated as the Foreword. 6) At each relevant entry, references to the work in the major exhibition catalogues and auction sales since 1977 are noted under the rubric NEW. New provenance (PROV.) is noted for public collections and for some private owners. 7) The lithographs from Au Soleil du Plafond, the 1955 deluxe publication based on gouaches from circa 1916 are reproduced. 8) Some entries have been corrected in light of subsequent scholarship and public sales. 9) There are running heads giving the year of creation of the works on facing pages. 10) There are new indexes for owners since 1977. 11) Only one new painting has surfaced since the publication of the original edition and it is now included. 12) Titles are now in French, English and Spanish.
