Arthur Rimbaud, Patti Smith - Lot 165
Arthur Rimbaud, Patti Smith Une saison en enfer Paris, Gallimard, (September) 2023. 1 vol. in sheets, in publisher's slipcase. Edition of 99 numbered copies, in slipcase, accompanied by an original Fine Arts pigment lithograph signed by Patti Smith. "Patti Smith accompanies the complete text of Arthur Rimbaud's Une saison en enfer, in the "Grande Blanche illustrée" collection, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the first publication of this emblematic text. The edition is expanded with poems and letters by the poet, who was, for the American artist, a source of inspiration for her personal construction and for her songs" (in Prière d'insérer). "I was sixteen when I discovered Arthur Rimbaud. I was drawn to his face and his poems, which intrigued and fascinated me. Bewitched by their intoxicating charm, I emerged trembling, with little memory of what I'd read. Despite this, his words had somehow etched themselves into my brain, coiled like a rope on the deck of an abandoned ship in the middle of a deadly fog. A Season in Hell was the drug of my youth, the elixir containing the tools and method to topple false idols. Such is the exhilarating power of poetry." Gallimard 2023
