Description: Condition Continued: A little of the black material of the inside front and rear covers got pulled onto the inside edge of each of the white end papers (see photo of the signed page). The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover. The covers themselves are nicely tight. There are no binding issues. The interior of the book is in excellent condition. The thick semi-glossy pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I haven't found any instances of soiling. I'm also not finding any conspicuous creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And the author's signed inscription is the only writing to be found anywhere in the book. There are a great many illustrations, a handful are in color. They are all in excellent condition. Harper & Row, New York, 1963. Softcover. In Italian. Work of Arnaldo Pomodoro. Saggio di sette pagine (Essenza E Sviluppo) by Mark Rosenthal. Sei pagine Intervista dello scultore di Sam Hunter. This is an offering of two separate items. The first is a signed and numbered (24/150) etching by the artist (see photo). As mentioned above, it is in excellent condition. I don't see any issues. The second is the book, Colpo D'ala Di Arnaldo Pomodoro which is also signed and inscribed (also dated) by the artist (see photo). The book accompanied an exhibition in Los Angeles beginning on the 12th December 1988 (the same date the book was signed). Both items were previously owned by husband-and-wife Dr. Herbert J. Kayden and Dr. Gabrielle H. Reem. Dr. Kayden was the esteemed former Governor and President of the New York Academy of Sciences, a renowned cardiologist and researcher known for a number of groundbreaking studies of lipoprotein disorders. Dr. Kayden also identified the genes responsible for abnormal synthesis of Vitamin E, a deficiency of which causes a devastating constellation of neurological symptoms. Dr. Reem spent a decade at Memorial Sloan Kettering hospital as a clinician before joining the New York University School of Medicine as professor of pharmacology. The Kaydens were serious art collectors. 'They collected works of signature 20th century modern and contemporary artists, often through the development of friendships with artists, such as Jacques Lipchitz, Joan Miró and Nadia Léger. Dr. Reem’s purchase of a Henry Moore Reclining Figure in 1954, which had been in MoMA's lending program, engendered a lifelong pursuit of modern sculpture and a continued relationship with the artist well into the 1970s. As patrons of Edith Halpert's Downtown Gallery in the 1950s, the Kaydens not only developed deep friendships with Stuart Davis, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Charles Sheeler and Jacob Lawrence, but also acquired significant work by all these artists. Frequent visits with Arnaldo Pomodoro allowed the Kaydens to build one of the richest collections of his work.' Many of their works by Arnaldo Pomodoro were auctioned at Christies, several that I googled sold in the range of 50 to 70 thousand dollars. Many others were given as gifts to museums and art centers.
