Lot no. 27 - A
Salvador Dalí (Figueres, 1904 - 1989) "Babaouo" Published by Éditions des Cahiers Libres. 1st edition. 1932. Signed and dedicated by the author: "A Segarra recorts afectuosos del seu amic Salvador Dalí. La meva nhova hadreça. -S. Dali- 7 Rue gauguet 7 Paris (14)" ("a Segarra memories from your friend Salvador Dalí. My new address. - S. Dali- 7 Rue Gauguet 7 Paris (14)"). Unnumbered copy of one of the 600 copies on Vélin Outhenin-Chalandre numbered from 24 to 623. Preceded by the text ‘Abrégé d'un histoire critique du cinéma’ and followed by the text ‘Guillaume Tell. Ballet portugais’. Printed on 12 July 1932 by Imprimerie Union. 19,5 x 15 cm. Although we had difficulty deciphering Dalí's handwritten dedication, compounded by the fact that he wrote ‘Nova adreça’ (New address in Catalan) with unnecessary h's (Nhova hadreça), we concluded that this is what he wrote, because it was in July 1932, the month and year of the publication of this book, that he moved with his wife Gala to Rue Gauguin in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, indicating, as we read to Josep Mª de Segarra, his new address.
