Cohen, Arthur A. & Luce Marinetti. New York: Ex Libris & Prakapas Gallery, 1985. First Edition. 4to. Stapled Pictorial Wrappers. Exhibition Catalog. Very Good.. np (20pp), 16 b&w illustrations. Designed by Tamar Cohen. New York's Arthur Cohen was the premier purveyor of books and ephemera on twentieth century Modern Art movements for nearly twenty years. Ex Libris' copiously researched, scholarly, illustrated catalogues stood as unparalleled bibliographic tools at a time when there was a paucity of available reference to the documentary literature of the modernist avant-gardes. This slender publication was the catalogue for a 1985 exhibition held concurrently at Ex Libris and Prakapas Gallery of Italian Futurist works on paper by Fidele Azari, Emilio Buccafusca, Mario Carli, Francesco Cangiullo, Pasqualino Cangiullo, Luciano De Nardis, Ugo Giannattasio, F.T. Marinetti, Angelo Rognoni, and Lucio Vernna (Landsmann). A most presentable example of this uncommon ephemeral item that was the only printed documentation of the event showing some light soiling and handling creases to its rear cover.
