La maison publique or "Bataille de femmes" (Freiburg 219). Original soft-ground etching, 1935. 1500 impressions the Limited Editions Book Club edition of James Joyce's Ulysses. Matisse did not read Joyce before executing the etchings, but instead reread Homer's Odyssey. The prints were very well printed and are frequently included in books on Matisse and exhibitions of Matisse's works (and, in fact, they were on display at the Musée Matisse during the summer of 1999). The justification papge was signed by Matisse, and purchasers of any of the etchings published with the book will receive a copy of that justification. Image size: 275x214mm. Price: $3000.
