Jean Dubuffet, Anvouaiaje par in ninbesil avec de zimaje

A rare publication by Jean Dubuffet in a made-up language (Pataphonie), containing 9 original signed lithographs. An extremely limited edition of just 23 copies on handmade paper. The title ‘Anvouaiaje par in ninbesil avec de zimaje’ is written in the phonetic system invented by the artist, which he used in several works from the 1950s as a form of rebellion against academic culture. The lithographs showcase Dubuffet’s characteristic informal technique with stylized anthropomorphic figures and textural surfaces. Aut. This type of publication represents the core of Dubuffet’s editorial work as an artist-publisher, anticipating Fluxus and concrete poetry. Overall condition is good, with marginal foxing consistent with untreated handmade paper. A museum-quality item for collections of post-war French livres d'artiste. COPERTINA ORIGINALE. 9 lithographs in excellent condition, on Rives paper
