      • GOGOL, Taras Bulba, 1946
        Sep. 09, 2018

        GOGOL, Taras Bulba, 1946

        Est: $150 - $250

        GOGOL NIKOLAY VASILIEVICH (RUSSIAN 1809-1852), author, TARAS BULBA, (Moscow-Leningrad: Detlit, 1946). 4to (295 x 230 mm) hardcover. Illustrated profusely. Text in Russian. Design by Telingater Solomon Benediktovich. Auto-lithographs by Kibrik Evgeny Adolfovich. PROVENANCE INFORMATION This lot comes from the collection of Viktor Kholodkov (1948-2015), who fulfilled his passion for books, avant-garde design and paper memorabilia by devoting his life to collecting and dealing of prominent works of Russian graphic art of the first half of the 20th century. The dedicated collector acquired a multitude of books and artworks throughout decades, meticulously labeling and archiving every single item. Many came directly from the most preeminent artists of the time, as well as from their families and estates. He also possessed a vast number of drawings from the famous collection of another avant-garde enthusiast, Nikolai Khardzhiev. After leaving the USSR in 1989 and settling in California, Viktor continued his work as a Soviet art dealer and critic, actively publishing various articles and contributing to several major Russian avant-garde exhibitions across the U.S., such as the 1991 Russia Under Fire in the 40s on the West Coast and the 1992 Guggenheim exhibition The Great Utopia: The Russian and Soviet Avant-Garde. Kholodkov also contributed to the archives of the biggest American institutions. His sophisticated selection of over 2000 Russian sheet music covers was acquired by The Library of Congress, and an extensive amount of material related to VKhUTEMAS is now at the J. Paul Getty Museum.

        Est: £1,000 - £1,500

        GOGOL, Nikolai Vasil'evich (1809-1852). Pokhozhdeniia Chichikova ili Mertvyia Dushi. [The Adventures of Chichikov or Dead Souls]. Moscow: V. Got'e, 1855. 8° (248 x 162mm). With half-title. Engraved plates by Bernardskii after Agin. (Scattered spotting and marginal dampstain.) Contemporary half-morocco (front cover nearly detached, spine head chipped). Provenance: V.V. (binding) -- Paul M. Fekula. THE FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION. This first posthumous printing of Dead Souls follows the text of the second edition (1846), and for the first time includes E.E. Bernardskii's engravings after A.A. Agin's drawings. Gogol so disliked the illustrations that he had refused to include them in the second edition despite the offer of 1500 rubles in payment. Got'e also published the first edition of the second volume of Gogol's unfinished masterpiece in 1855 -- Gogol had burnt the original manuscript in a fit of madness, and that second volume was compiled from drafts and notes found following his suicide in 1852. Fekula 4720 (this copy).
