This is a very good hardcover copy in the original illustrated boards. Completely clean inside and out. Slight wrinkle to last few pages lower edges. Text in English. This catalog was prepared for the exhibition at the MFA in 1976. Organized by Spoerri and a team of scholars including Harald Szeemann, Markus Ratz, Peter Bichsel, among others. Illustrated in black & white throughout + 8 color plates.. "Mrs. Spoerri, who sometimes jokingly referred to herself as ''Mrs. Wölfli,'' was a legend in the world of outsider art. She spent more than 20 years deciphering, transcribing, translating and indexing the often densely interwoven writing, iconography and musical scores of Wölfli, a prolific schizophrenic Swiss laborer. Consigned to Waldau, a psychiatric hospital in Bern, from the age of 30 to his death at 66 in 1930, Wölfli created thousands of drawings and 45 large illustrated books containing a total of nearly 25,000 pages. He was known in Switzerland during his lifetime but subsequently slipped into near oblivion. Mrs. Spoerri came to Wölfli's work through her husband, Theodor, a psychiatrist at Waldau who, at the invitation of the Swiss curator Harald Szeemann, helped reintroduce Wölfli's work to the art world at Documenta 5 in 1972. But Theodor, a cousin of the artist Daniel Spoerri, died in 1973, and Mrs. Spoerri became the chief guardian and interpreter of Wölfli's art".

With the acquisition in recent years of multiple Egyptological libraries (those of Prof. Herman te Velde; Prof. Mathieu Heerma van Voss, Prof. Baudouin van de Walle; Prof. Michel Malaise; Prof. Herman De Meulenaere; Egyptologist Jacobus Visser, and former Trustee of the Egypt Exploration Society, Stewart Dale White), we now hold several thousands of rare offprint monographs which were collected over many years by these scholars. Very limited in number when originally issued and fragile by nature, most are by now practically extinct and the scarce survivors are much sought after. We took upon ourselves to collate, catalogue, and identify each item in accordance with Beinlich-Seeber or Annual Egyptological Bibliography, in the hope that this collection will prove useful for scholars and collectors alike.

This is a fine hardcover copy with a very good dust jacket with a few scratches on the rear cover. Very light, even toning to front panel of dust jacket along spine edge. Completely clean. This book began as a collaboration between the Swiss artists and friends Alberto Giacometti and Herbert Matter. In the 1960's Matter first began to photograph Giacometti's sculptures in Paris. He continued doing this for years and both men looked forward to publication of this material. Matter continued working on it until his death in 1984. It finally happened a few years later, brought to fruition by Mercedes Matter. This book has a minimal text. It is mainly a record of Matter's photographs of Giacomettl's sculptures, which Giacometti himself said made him aware of qualities his sculptures possessed that he was unaware of.
