In 1931 Pablo Picasso illustrates Ovid’s Metamorphoses in 30 etchings. The exceptional edition, limited to 145 copies, is the first publication by the newly founded Skira. It was soon followed by Mallarmé’s Poems with 29 original etchings by Henri Matisse and Les Chants de Maldoror illustrated by Salvador Dalí with 42 engravings.
These extraordinary limited-edition artist books gave birth to the legendary Skira logo, and today, the publishing house simply had to return to its roots, joining the savoir faire of its impressive publishing tradition with the exceptional potentials of current technology.
The new Limited Editions by Skira are divided into two series: the Collector Editions, which will include an original numbered edition signed by the artist and the Fac-Simile Editions, which will offer, in perfect, philological reproduction, some cornerstones of Art publishing of all time. In both cases, the editions are limited and numbered, elegant and unique, conceived and created with the upmost attention to detail, from the texts to the images, from the binding to the packaging.
Intended for bibliophiles and collectors searching for the magic of a precious and extraordinary book destined over time to grow in value.
