 A good, clean copy, with slight nick to bottom of spine, of Volume 1, Furniture and Textiles, of the Post Auction Sale Catalog produced for the sale of The Edward James Collection, held by Christie's at West Dean Park, Chichester, West Sussex, on June 2, 3 and 6, 1986. Edward James was born in 1907 into a world of privilege. He inherited the West Dean Estate on the untimely death of his father in 1912. He is perhaps best known as a passionate supporter of Surrealism, a movement that was born from the political uncertainty and upheaval between the wars. Surrealist artists escaped into a world of fantasy and irrationality. Edward was an early enthusiast of Surrealist artists and supported them by building up a collection of paintings and art objects that subsequently came to be accepted as one of the finest collections of surrealist work in private hands. He also provided practical help, supporting Salvador Dalí for about two years and allowing Magritte to stay in his London house to do some paintings. In 1964, James gave his English estate which included West Dean House at West Dean to a charitable trust. The Edward James Foundation comprises West Dean College, a centre for the preservation of traditional arts and crafts, through short courses and full-time Diplomas and MAs. One of only two professional Tapestry Weaving studios in the UK, an Art Gallery are all housed on a 6,400-acre (26 km2) estate which is open to the public through the West Dean Gardens. West Dean College is part of the Edward James Foundation set up in 1971 in response to James's vision of establishing “an educational foundation where creative talents can be discovered and developed, and where one can spread culture through the teaching of crafts and the preservation of knowledge that might otherwise be destroyed or forgotten”. Soft covers, 490 pages, fully illustrated throughout both with fine black and white and superb full color plates. Ref. CTEJCWDPV1FTCWS62361/A3. $85.00. Please add $35.00 USD to your order to ship this item. Thank You.
