MAYAKOVSKY, Vladimir Vladimirovich (1893-1930). [Collected Works. Vols 1-2]. Moscow: Gosizdat, 1928. Presentation copy to Georgian actress Marike A. Chimishkian. These were the first two volumes to be printed of the first nearly complete lifetime collection, especially interesting since the poet himself assisted in its preparation. After an adventurous life as ‘a regular scandal-maker’ (as he defined himself), Mayakovsky committed suicide in 1930. S.A. Ermolinskii was a playwright and theatre critic; his wife, Mariia (or Marika) Artem’evna Chimishkian, was a Georgian actress. They were close friends with M. Bulgakov. Upon his arrest by the Soviet authorities in 1940, Ermolinskii did not betray Bulgakov; he also supported the publication, though posthumous, of Bulgakov’s works. Not in Kilgour. E.J. Brown, Mayakovsky, p. 371. 2 volumes, octavo (190 x 130mm). 1: with the author’s photographic portrait (a trifle yellowed, the odd spot). In the original publisher’s boards (spines sunned, with light water stains, 1: joints cracked). Provenance: 1: Mayakovsky (presentation inscription to ‘Mariika VEM’, i.e. Mariia Artem’evna Chimishkian, on title); 1-2: ex-libris S.A. Ermolinskii (1900-1984) (title). Please note this lot is the property of a private individual.
