Whether \"impossible\" to obtain or available at the tip of a paddle, these works are remarkable on their own, but as a collection they form a unique perspective on contemporary art. Capturing the essence of today's art world that is at once rarefied, deified, and revolutionary, this limited edition volume presented in a linen box was assembled using the traditional anglaise technique and color-tipped by hand on art-quality paper. Each page bears the unique imprint of the artisan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst published in 2008, this volume offers more than just a printed museum with artworks very rarely displayed and owned by private collectors: Pablo Picasso's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eYo, Picasso (Self-Portait)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1901; Georges Braque's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLe Pont de la Roche-Guyon (The Bridge at Roche-Guyon)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1909; Robert Delaunay's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDisque Simultané (Premier)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1913; Giorgio De Chirico's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMystery and Melancholy of a Street\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1914; Egon Schiele's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSelbstbildnis mit kariertem Hemd (Self-portrait with Checkered Shirt)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1917; Francis Picabia's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eParade Amoureuse (Love Parade)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1917; Alexander Calder's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSatnding Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1934; Fernand Leger's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLa Belle Équipe (The Beautiful Team)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1944-45; Mark Rothko's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNo. 2\/No. 7\/No. 20\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1951; Cy Twombly's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Blue Room\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1957; Piero Manzoni's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAchrome\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1958; Roy Litchenstein's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eEddie Diptych\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1962; Andy Warhol's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eEight Elvis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1963; Bruce Nauman's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMy Name As Though It Were Written on the Surface of the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1968; Jeff Koons's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eRabbit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1986; Luc Tuymans's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDer Diagnostische Blick IV (Diagnostic View IV)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Takashi Murakami's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHiropon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 1997; Rudolf Stingel's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eUntitled\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 2000.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eComplimentary white gloves and signature canvas tote bag are included with each purchase from Assouline's Ultimate Collection \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--*SEP*--\u003e\u003c!--*SEP*--\u003e Philippe Ségalot joined Christie’s in New York in 1996 as contemporary art specialist before becoming the company’s international head of contemporary art.
