Over the course of almost five decades, famed magazine publisher Daniel Filipacchi and record
producer Nesuhi Ertegun assembled the most important grouping of Surrealist art in private
hands. This extraordinary two-volume set captures the full range, paradoxical nature and
fascinating aspects of Surrealism. Featuring works by leading figures of the movement such as
Giorgio de Chirico, Joseph Cornell, Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, René Magritte, Man Ray and
Yves Tanguy, this slipcased set is comprised almost entirely of full-page, full-color
reproductions. Major paintings, sculpture, photographs, works on paper, rare books and off-the-
cuff ephemera appear alongside complementary texts, creating a complete guide to one of the
most intriguing movements in art history.
