measurement when closed: 15 X 11 in. Condition: excellent; very slight foxing appropriate with age; light handling and storage wear Derrière le Miroir (DLM) was an art magazine published between 1946 and 1982 by the French publisher and gallery owner Aimé Maeght of Galerie Maeght, which for many years was the most important gallery in the world for contemporary art. There were a total of 253 editions in 200 volumes. Poets and writers like Aragon, Beckett, Char, Eluard, Prévert, Queneau, Reverdy, Sartre, contributed with unpublished texts. Most of the major artists of the second half of the twentieth century created lithographs for DLM: Léger, Miro, Calder, Tapies, Chillida, Braque, Matisse, Giacometti, and above all Chagall. |
The edition of Behind The Mirror, DLM, accompanied each
exhibition of the Galerie Maeght in 1946 to 1982. DLM, as it is published for
over thirty-five years, was born from the passion of Aimé Maeght to edit and
press. DLM was mailed
individually to subscribers (which seemed almost from the first to include
libraries and museums) and the gallery’s collectors.
