Pierre Apraxine (1937-2023) Photographs from the Collection of the Gilman Paper Company. White Oak Press, New York, 1985. Foreword by Howard Gilman. In-folio (46 x 40 cm). Original edition, with half-maroquin hard cover, titled in gilt lettering on the spine, preserved in its publisher's slipcase and comprising 200 photographic reproductions printed by Stamperia Valdonega and Tru-color Inc. from negatives (haltone process) at Richard Benson. Edition of 1200 numbered copies. The Gilman Paper Company photographic collection was built up by Pierre Apraxine over almost two decades. Encyclopedic in scope - from primitive to contemporary photographers (when the collection was built up) - it testifies to its creator's erudite vision and sensitivity to a medium as yet undervalued by institutions and the market. It is now part of the collections of New York's Metropolitan Museum.
