Preface by Catherine Deneuve

(VAN CLEEF & ARPELS). Zapata, Janet, Laurence Mouillefarine, Vincent Meylan & Patrick Jouin. Introduction by Catherine Deneuve. Paris: Editions Xavier Barral, 2010. First Edition. 4to. Cloth in Dust Jacket. Jewelry Monograph. Fine/Fine. 296pp, 236 color illustrations. Text in English. This is the magnificent catalogue published in conjunction with a 2009 Japanese retrospective of Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry held at the Mori Arts Center Gallery. Perhaps one of the most lavish publications of its kind, this sumptuous document features stunning full page, newly photographed images by Patrick Gries of La Fondation Cartier of each of the two hundred and thirty-four pieces exhibited. A brand new, most handsome example of the hardbound English language edition that sold out immediately upon publication. See less
