‎Fatima Brecht, Alfred Kren‎
‎Brazilian Ex Votos: Devotional Sculptures from North-Eastern Brazil‎

‎New York, Alfred Kren Gallery, 1985. Seule et unique édition. En anglais. Grande brochure de 25,5 x 18 cm non paginée. Catalogue d'une exposition tenue à la galerie Alfred Kren de New York et consacrée aux ex-votos du nordeste brésilien, c'est-à-dire à des oeuvres fabriquées pour être données à un saint, à la Vierge, etc. en remerciement d'une prière ou d'un vœu réalisé. En noir et blanc, contient des photos de 54 ex votos ainsi que d'autres photographies. Textes de Fatima Bercht, photos de Glenn Steigelman et Giovanna et Francesco Del Brenna. Enrichi d'une ligne en portugais signée du galeriste Alfred Kren, qui consulte un libraire brésilien sur la viabilité d'une vente de plusieurs exemplaire de cette brochure au Brésil. Si Kren manifeste des doutes, en craignant que le prix au détail aux États-Unis devienne "une quantité exorbitante de cruzeiros brésiliens" après exportation, il apprécie suffisamment l'idée pour envoyer le présent exemplaire en cadeau au destinataire de la lettre. ****************** New York, Alfred Kren Gallery, 1985. One and only edition. In English. Large brochure of 25.5 x 18 cm. Unpaginated. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Alfred Kren Gallery in New York about the ex-votos of the Brazilian Northeast, e.g. sculptures made to be given to a saint, to the Virgin, etc. in gratitude for a prayer or a wish granted. In black and white, contains photos of 54 ex-votos as well as other photographs. Texts by Fatima Bercht, photos by Glenn Steigelman and Giovanna and Francesco Del Brenna. Enriched with a letter in Portuguese signed by the gallery owner Alfred Kren, who asks a Brazilian bookseller about the viability of a sale of several copies of this brochure in Brazil. While Kren expresses doubts, fearing that the retail price in the United States will turn into "an exorbitant amount of Brazilian cruzeiros" once the booklets get exported, he likes the idea enough to send this copy as a gift to the recipient of the letter.‎
