L'Art De Madame Grés

A rare volume of 'L'Art de Madame Grès', photographs by Daiho Yoshida, Bunka Publishing Bureau, Japan, 1980, with text in French and Japanese, with English precis at the back, hardcover with sleeve, densely illustrated in colour and black with Grès creations from the 1930s to 1980. This Japanese/French edition, was produced with the consent and collaboration of Mme Grès, but once it was published by Bunka, for some reason she objected and requested that all copies be returned or destroyed. It is therefore very rare.
