Paris (Arcanes), 1953.. 236, (4)pp. Lrg. stout 8vo. Dec. wraps. Glassine d.j. Edition of 2000 numbered copies on vélin Bellegarde. Paalen designed the cover of this book in two complementary parts: the wrapper itself, which is printed in purple with the author’s and publisher’s names and an abstract arrangement of swirling swashes and blots; and a fragile glassine jacket on top of this, with a fumage composition of biomorphic shapes, and the title in a cloud of smoke. Together they create a mysterious, three-dimensional effect of Surrealist ectoplasm and darting birds. The fumage glassine jacket rarely survives. Uncut. A fine copy, the jacket in fresh condition.

Coyoacán, 1942.. Original woodcut, printed on tissue, signed and numbered in pencil (edition of 35). 253 x 197 mm. (10 x 7 3/4 inches). Presentation copy, with a fine six-line inscription in pencil "à Madame/ Marie Cuttoli/ en souvenir de Paris/ hommage respectuent/ de Wolfgang Paalen/ Mexico 1942" at lower left. This woodcut was actually cut by the artist Díaz de León after a design by Paalen, and normal copies of it, unsigned and on ordinary paper, were published in “Dyn” No. 2 with the caption “bois de W. Paalen gravé par Díaz de León.” As is evident from his inscription, though, Paalen certainly regarded it as his own print. These 35 hand-numbered copies on tissue were evidently meant to be tipped into the deluxe edition of the review. Mme. Marie Cuttoli, to whom it is inscribed, was a well-known collector and patron of the arts, and an old and intimate friend of Picasso’s. Tipped onto archival mat; two tiny chips at top edge; a fine copy.
