      BENOIS, Alexandre -- 31 books from Benois' working Library, most richly annotated and with numerous original sketches, primarily relating to Benois as a curator, critic and historian of art. Various places: various publishers, 1775-1957. Various formats. Many illustrated. (Some wear and soiling, occasional tears and loose leaves.) Most in original or contemporary bindings (wear, sometimes heavy, a few spines defective). Provenance: Alexandre Benois -- Parmenia Migel Ekstrom (the noted Ballet collector; loose annotations). The collection includes: RAMAZANOV, Nikolai. Materialy dlia Istorii Khudozhestv v Rossii. Kniga Pervaia. [Materials for the History of Art in Russia. Book 1 (all published)]. Moscow: Gubernskaia Tipografiia, 1863. Contemporary half-morocco. FIRST EDITION OF RAMAZANOV'S GROUND-BREAKING WORK, annotated throughout by Benois, with a few sketches, one of these of two figures studying a picture. Ramazanov was a good friend of his father Nikolai, and it is likely that this was an early guide in Alexander's own forays in the field. [PLANAT, M., and F. LABENSKII]. Livret de la Galerie Impériale de l'Ermitage de Saint-Pétersbourg. St. Petersburg: E. Pratz, 1838. Original printed boards. PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY LABENSKII, director of the Hermitage, and PREVIOUSLY IN THE COLLECTION OF BENOIS'S PREDECESSOR ANDREI IVANOVICH SOMOV -- senior curator at the Hermitage and father of Benois's life-long friend Konstantin Somov. An important association copy of this rare, early Hermitage catalogue, possibly only the second published. SOMOV, Andrei Ivanovich. Katalog Kartinnoi Galerei. Tom III. Angliiskaia, Frantsuskaia i Russkaia Zhivopis. [Catalogue of the Picture Gallery. Vol. 3. English, French and Russian Pictures]. St. Petersburg: Imperial Hermitage, 1895. Original printed boards. PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY SOMOV TO BENOIS, and with a few annotations by Benois. SOMOV, Andrei Ivanovich. Katalog Kartinnoi Galerei. Tom II. Niderlanskaia i Nemetskaia Zhivopis. [Catalogue of the Picture Gallery. Vol. 2. Dutch and German Pictures]. St. Petersburg: Imperial Hermitage, 1902. Contemporary boards. WITH A FULL-PAGE PORTRAIT BY BENOIS OF A.M. EFROS, the important Soviet art historian, and annotated throughout and with nearly 30 aide-memoire sketches. Benois's annotations suggest repeated readings into the 1920s. SOMOV, Andrei Ivanovich. Catalogue de la Galerie des Tableaux. Première Partie. Les Écoles d'Italie et d'Espagne. St. Petersburg: Imperial Hermitage, 1909. Contemporary boards. HEAVILY ANNOTATED THROUGHOUT, WITH NEARLY 70 AIDE-MEMOIRE SKETCHES, and a 6-page manuscript chronological table. Benois notes that most of his marginalia dates to 1909 when he was working on his 'vademecum' -- probably his Putevoditel po kartinnoi galerie Imperatorskago Ermitazha. Russkii Muzei. Khudozhestvennyi Otdel. Katalog. [The Russian Museum. Catalogue]. St. Petersburg: Russian Museum, 1917. Original printed wrappers, rebacked. RARE CATALOGUE, EXEMPLAIRE NOMINATIF PRINTED FOR BENOIS, of the newly formed National Museum. Exposition d'Art Autrichien. Les trésors de Maximilien. Paris: Musée du Jeux de Paume, 1927. Original illustrated wrappers. WITH THREE LARGE SKETCHES BY BENOIS, and annotated throughout. BERTENSON, Sergei. Vokrug Iskusstva. [Around Art]. Hollywood: self-published, 1957. Original wrappers. PRESENTATION COPY FROM BERTENSON TO BENOIS, heavily annotated by Benois throughout, and with 3 pencil sketches -- 2 of these of his cat Mademoiselle Kodak. Bertenson was a notable emigré, musician, chronicler of Hollywood, and friend and biographer of Rachmaninoff. Bertenson and Benois shared numerous acquaintances, and Benois's plentiful and vivid annotations provide a very salient counterpoint to Bertenson's memoir.
