For many years, the autograph library has specialized in the sale of autograph letters and manuscripts. Autograph letter signed "hans et unica" to andré Breton. "There can be no question of exposing a staging of the doll under the category "active surrealists". Very beautiful letter of bellmer, evoking her dolls and not wishing, and not wishing to be associated with the surrealist group during the exhibition eros organized by Breton.

"Dear friend, we thank you for your letter, as well as for the invitation! For at least a month, I've been working on the details of the "doll" and unica has been trying to make big "impressive" formats, as she was told by stone on her visit to our home. By the same mail I will tell schröder-sonnenstern. [the German artist friedrich schröder-sonnenstern] to prepare a shipment of 4 paintings to the daniel cordier gallery and to return the photos I had given him as an identification.

At the end of September, you will have everything you need (at the moment the photographers are on vacation). Oelze, I attach to this word a letter to the rudolf springer gallery which takes care of him, a little, according to my insistences. If you wanted to add a motet the invitation, that would be all that is to do (.. After going through the list of exhibitors superficially - during the visit of jose stone at home - I informed him by letter that there could be no question of exposing a staging of the doll under the category "active surrealists". Because: 1 the doll (or : the dolls) was made between 1933 and 1937; and nothing has been added to it since.

So it belongs to the past. 2 in view of my disagreement with the "group" since the "expulsion" of the surrealist painters of very great scope: matta, braunner and, then even, max ernst, it goes without saying that I will not be included in the category of "active".

May I ask you to inform josé stone about this? I would be happy to do so, because his letter-answer was so full of arguments that I would not know where to take the time to respond.

Daniel cordier came to see me before he left on vacation. He showed himself very fond, immediately proposing me to buy twenty drawings at a very suitable price, and to make an exhibition of me. Being vaguely obliged to a chicago merchant, I asked him to postpone the deal a little bit. Anyway, he's delighted with my two staging projects and he's willing to bear the costs. As for the betting summer we suffered with much of this courage that is called the "inevitable" these awful heat waves that made the candles in our candlesticks melt.

The advantage is that glue and paints, exercised on the details, dry faster. Unica and I, we ask you to convey to us all our friendships. The German artist friedrich schröder-sonnenstern was exhibited in 1955 by the Springer gallery, then by Jean dubuffet, in 1959, in the exhibition of raw art, a few months before his participation in the exhibition eros organized by Breton at daniel cordier.
