These dualities were especially compelling to the painters and poets of Surrealism, who, beginning in the 1920s, embraced the book as a central medium for artistic experimentation and a crucial vehicle for disseminating the movement’s essential tenets, strategies and aspirations—a bridge between personal revelation and social revolution. ''The Surrealist Book'' presents rare artists’ books from The Helen and Sam Zell Collection, featuring an exceptional concentration of works made in the context of Surrealism and reflecting its legacy well into the 1960s. This lavishly illustrated catalog features the most extraordinary volumes in a given edition, with special supplemental materials and contributions by writers such as André Breton and Paul Éluard and artists including Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst and Alberto Giacometti; unique maquettes and singular sketchbooks; rare works by Hans Bellmer, Claude Cahun, Toyen and Unica Zürn; original manuscripts for iconic Surrealist texts, notably the “Surrealist Manifesto”; and extraordinary sculptural bindings that become hybrid and interactive book-objects.
