Lot Essay

Stikhi Maiakovskogo incorporates the rare Malevich lithograph Vsemirnyi peizazh (Universal Landscape) which was not originally intended for publication in this volume. Many copies include the Rozanova lithograph advertised in the publication details. The unusually fugitive nature of the green pigment in the cover has retained its freshness in the present copy which survives in unusually good condition.
