81/ 901 Wendingen. Maandblad voor bouwen en sieren van Architectura et Amicitia. Ed. H.Th. Wijdeveld. Amst., De Hooge Brug/ Santpoort, C.A. Mees, 1918-1931, 116 vols., num. ills., bound as a blockbook, orig. stiff col. lithogr./ woodcut wr./ 7x orig. board, large 4to.

- Most vols. contents (very) fine; a few vols. (sl.) yellowed/ trifle foxed. Wrs. varying from (sl.) frayed to good/ very good and occas. very fine; only a few w. broken ties. Year 2, no.7/8 (Houtsnedennummer) INCLUDING the folded woodcut by C.A. Lion Cachet, edges of wr. frayed; year 4, no.11 (Wright, cover: El Lissitzky): w. some sm. stains on frontcover and w. bookplate on title-p.

= Rare complete run of this legendary periodical, with a few rare inserts, partly loosely inserted in the corresponding issues (i.e. 14 'Technical Sections', 1 purple inlay sheet and 2 'Announcements'). Includes 7 copies in deluxe ed. (year 1 no. 1, year 3 no 11/12, year 4 nos. 3 and 6, year 6 no. 2, and year 8 nos. 1 and 9/10), and all Frank Lloyd Wright issues of year 7 (in good condition) and Year 4, no.11 (Wright, cover: El Lissitzky). The earlier the date of publication, the more striking and daring the richness in subjects, design, typography and covers. To quote H.Th. Wijdeveld, the general editor: "Zij hebben de frisheid van het gedurfde, niet gebonden en zingen hun 'illusies van de komende schoonheid'". For a complete overview consult Le Coultre, Wendingen 1918-1932 (Blaricum/ New York, 2001); with on p.6: "Looking back at the twentieth century, one sees in Wendingen a compelling model of design practice, singular in the intensity of its focus and the originality of its aesthetic form. Nothing in the evolution of avant-garde art and design matches the sustained and impassioned visual inquiry of this magazine." SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XXII.
