Sheila,
Fondren Library, Rice University, has a partial run of Derriere le
miroir. While our catalog does have a serial record for the title,
there are also added entries. If you do a key word search for the
title, the catalog will retrieve
32 records for individual titles. A very quick look indicates the
pagination ranges from 7p - 83p (the latter being Hommage a Georges
Braque #144-146), and the size usually 38 or 39cm; 40cm. Issue #52 is a
single sheet measuring 76x56cm. We own the Ellsworth Kelly issue #149,
but the catalog record does not mention a special edition. A key word
search of derriere le miroir and numero special in our database only
retrieves 3 records. Only 1 also bears a double issue number as well.
The most important special issue is Hommage a Aime et Marguerite Maeght,
Derriere le Miroir # 250. This issue, as you will see from the
information I have included from an OCLC record, will be the best source
to answer your questions.
OCLC indicates that the archives staff of the Watson Library,
Metropolitan Museum of Art created a "Catalog of issues no. 1-249 of
Derriere le miroir". The OCLC abstract states: Catalog entries for
issues no 1-249 (déc. 1946/janv. 1947-nov. 1981) of Derrière le miroir,
excerpted and photocopied from issue no 250 by the Thomas J. Watson
Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The notes state: *Bio/History:* Number 250 of Derrière le miroir was
issued in August 1982 on the initiative and under the guidance of Aimé
Maeght, and was entitled: Hommage à Aimé et Marguerite Maeght. It
includes a catalog of all the previous issues of Derrière le miroir,
interspersed with prints created for the special issue and excerpts from
many of the texts included in the original issues.
