FUTURISM – BURLIUK, David and Vladimir, KHLEBNIKOV, Velimir, GORODETSKII, Aleksandr, KAMENSKII, Vasilii, and others – Sadok Sudei. [A Trap for Judges.] [St. Petersburg: Zhuravl', 1910.]
The rare first edition of the first Russian Futurist book, a presentation copy inscribed by Gorodetskii: 'To dear friends Nadezhda Evseevna [Dobychina] and Petr Petrovich [Dobychin]. Aleks. Gei. 1910'. Gei is the pseudonym of the poet Aleksandr Mitrofanovich Gorodetskii (1886-1914), brother of Sergei Gorodetskii, and friendly with Blok and Kulbin; this volume includes his poem 'Lebed belyi' [The White Swan]. The recipient, Nadezhda Dobychina, was an important gallerist in the early years of the Russian avant-garde; she staged the 0.10 exhibition in which Malevich's 'Black Square' was shown in late 1915 - early 1916. One of only 300 copies issued, all printed on the back of wallpaper without title and using newly reformed orthography. The choice of this cheap material signaled a deliberate disregard for the conventions of publishing, and referred obliquely to the authors, comparing them to the roaches and bugs that lived under wallpaper feasting on the glue. David Burliuk's memoirs suggest that part of the edition was almost certainly destroyed (1994, p.25). MoMA, The Russian Avant-Garde Book, 1 (p.63).
Octavo (111 x 118mm). 131 leaves, all printed on the back of two types of wallpaper. 9 plates and one vignette, and 10 illustrations (the first and the last leaf with small marginal losses and backed; some page numbers trimmed by the binder). Later blue silk over boards with the original front wrapper bound in (front wrapper worn and repaired). Provenance: Aleksandr 'Gei' Gorodetskii (1886-1914; presentation inscription to:) – Nadezhda Evseevna Dobychina (1884-1950, gallerist) and Petr Petrovich Dobychin (1881-1942, mathematician).
