A soft pink vintage monograph on Marie Laurencin, with one of her most recognisable portraits on the cover a quietly collectable artist book, loved for its palette, femininity, and enduring appeal among art and design collectors.

A beautifully soft-toned vintage monograph on Marie Laurencin, written by Charlotte Gere and published in 1977. The cover alone makes this a piece to live with, featuring one of Laurencin’s signature dreamlike portraits in muted pinks, greens, and dusky blues.

Laurencin’s work has long held a devoted following, particularly among collectors drawn to her delicate, feminine aesthetic and distinctive palette. This has made her books quietly collectable in their own right, especially those with strong visual covers like this one.

Inside, the book offers a study of her work and life, with printed illustrations throughout. It works equally well as a reference piece or as a decorative object, something to leave open on a table, or layered into a shelf or studio setting.

The book shows light, honest signs of age, with gentle handling wear to the cover and edges, consistent with a vintage paperback of this period. It remains a lovely, intact copy.

A piece that sits somewhere between book and object, chosen as much for its visual presence as its content.
