3 volumes. Each volume bound in original hessian-backed printed imitation wood veneer, fastened with metal bolts. Each volume with a small bas-relief mounted on upper cover (Vol.1 - metal relief by Gio Pomodoro, vol.2 - plexi relief by Talman, vol. 3 - relief by Getulio Alviani).
The complete three-volume set of one of the most ambitious and important contemporary art portfolios of the post-war era. The volumes contain a combination of original and editioned works, and bring together many of the most cutting-edge avant-garde artists of the age, giving them the opportunity to work in mediums that in many cases they had not previously. The variety of original artwork ranges from drawings, gouaches, and collages, to graphics, photographs, sheets of letterpress text, music etc., with each work tipped onto thick card leaves of varying colors. The majority of the works are individually signed.
Artworks of note in the collection are Piero Manzoni's only editioned multiple (a cork print), a unique ‘concetto spaziale’ punched drawing by Lucio Fontana, Enrico Catellani's first multiple, a watercolor collage by Hundertwasser, a unique smoke drawing by Otto Piene, a unique torn collage by Jacques Villeglé, and other pieces by Arman, Jean Arp, Man Ray, Dieter Roth, and Victor Vasarely.
Each volume was published in an edition of 215 copies. Complete intact sets of La Lune en Rodage rarely appear, primarily because, just by their nature, the majority of copies have already been broken up for their constituent parts.
