Description
ARMAN. REUT (Tita). Resist Anger. Rare lithographic book-object illustrated by Arman, containing 44 original lithographs signed by the artist. Paris, Atelier Franck Bordas, 2001. In-8 (210x160mm), leaves in filled cover, black cloth-covered hardback folder and slipcase (publisher's binding). 98pp + [6pp.] including 38 full-page lithographs printed in black and red ink, 5 on double-page spreads and a title vignette. First edition and first print run. One of 100 copies in this format (out of a total edition of 125, 25 of which with a reprinted suite) signed by the artists in pencil on the colophon leaf. One of the 19 titles (the last to appear) in the "Paquebot" collection by Atelier Franck Bordas, published between 1993 and 2001. The idea of the series was to offer works entirely designed by each artist and printed in lithography (woodcuts for Jan Voss), in the style of a thematic notebook, a studio notebook or a travel diary. Each album, comprising around fifty plates, is published in a limited edition of 100 numbered and signed copies, presented in a cloth slipcase. Franck Bordas, born in 1959, is the son of publisher Pierre Bordas; he is known as a printer, lithographer and art publisher. In 1977, alongside printer Jean Célestin, he took part in the production of Joan Miró lithographs and contributed to the Fernand Mourlot exhibition "Cinquante années de lithographie" at the Palais des Papes in Avignon. At the age of 19, he opened his first printing studio. Many artists came to visit the studio, including Jean-Paul Chambas, Errò, Ernest Pignon-Ernest, Keith Haring, Gérard Garouste and Zao Wu-Ki. For its 10th anniversary in 1988, the studio moved to the Bastille. Franck Bordas had a 20-tonne Voirin press from the late nineteenth century restored. Pierre Alechinsky came to make his greatest lithographs. He is unanimously hailed as one of the great art printers of our time. Tita Reut, born in 1951, a French poet and exhibition curator, was a long-term collaborator of the visual artist Arman. She is the founder of Éditions de l'Ariane, where she publishes artists' books alongside him.
