20150521Tel-Aviv, Beit Hatfutsot (Museum of Jewish People), 2015. First and only edition. This is a catalogue of an exposition of paintings and artworks by Eliahou Eric Bokobza, with explanatory texts in English. In-4, 308 x 250 mm, 141 (3) pp. Bradel-style hardcover with colorful boards. Title written in Hebrew on spine. Printed on couché paper. Foreword by Orit Shaham-Gover, text "Kol Israel Haverim (All Jews are Friends): Multiple Jewish Identities in the Work of Eric Bokobza" by Smadar Sheffi. "Bokobza grapples with the weighty concept of kol Yisrael haverim and the contrasting elements of what he calls his “mixed identity”—his Tunisian-French-Israeli heritage, Oriental and Occidental cultures, his experience with religion and mysticism as a secular Jew— in “United Colors.” The exhibit is modeled after traditional museum exhibitions of Judaica, said Bokobza, which typically divide Jewish ritual objects into Jewish holiday and life cycle sections... “In each painting, I’m showing what my secular experience as a Jew in Israel was like” he said." (The Times of Israel, "The artist whose life began with Elijah", Zahava Presser, 30 July 2015)

19850431New York, Alfred Kren Gallery, 1985. Seule et unique édition. En anglais. Grande brochure de 25,5 x 18 cm non paginée. Catalogue d'une exposition tenue à la galerie Alfred Kren de New York et consacrée aux ex-votos du nordeste brésilien, c'est-à-dire à des oeuvres fabriquées pour être données à un saint, à la Vierge, etc. en remerciement d'une prière ou d'un vœu réalisé. En noir et blanc, contient des photos de 54 ex votos ainsi que d'autres photographies. Textes de Fatima Bercht, photos de Glenn Steigelman et Giovanna et Francesco Del Brenna. Enrichi d'une ligne en portugais signée du galeriste Alfred Kren, qui consulte un libraire brésilien sur la viabilité d'une vente de plusieurs exemplaire de cette brochure au Brésil. Si Kren manifeste des doutes, en craignant que le prix au détail aux États-Unis devienne "une quantité exorbitante de cruzeiros brésiliens" après exportation, il apprécie suffisamment l'idée pour envoyer le présent exemplaire en cadeau au destinataire de la lettre. ****************** New York, Alfred Kren Gallery, 1985. One and only edition. In English. Large brochure of 25.5 x 18 cm. Unpaginated.

While Kren expresses doubts, fearing that the retail price in the United States will turn into "an exorbitant amount of Brazilian cruzeiros" once the booklets get exported, he likes the idea enough to send this copy as a gift to the recipient of the letter.
