HWPSMTB [Hartung, Wols, Picabia, Stahly, Mathieu, Tapié, Bryen].

Paris: Galerie Allendy, 1948. First Edition. Duodecimo. Scarce catalogue printed for a Spring 1948 group show at Colette Allendy's Paris gallery; a pivotal debut for the Art Informel movement. Featuring works from Hans Hartung, Wols, Francis Picabia, François Stahly, Georges Mathieu, Michel Tapié, and Camille Bryen—with an acronym from their names composing the title of the show. Contents: 24 pages, with one work from each artist reproduced in black-and-white and artist's statements contributed from Wols, Mathieu, Tapié, Bryen, and Picabia—whose "Explications antimystiques" concludes with a somewhat prophetic statement: "Je suis le succès de l'insuccès. Je ne désire ni résultat, ni but." Famously, Picabia removed his paintings at the opening. Letterpress wrappers with stapled contents; minor offsetting to a handful of pages, thus near fine. A milestone catalogue, with only 2 OCLC records located in North America (MoMA, Princeton).
