12. A. ET G. PERRET
In its 1932 catalog, Éditions Albert Morancé announced two new extraits un-
der the heading l'Architecture
Vivante en France.
66
The first was l'Oeuvre de Tony Gar
nier, and the second, the unpublished l'Oeuvre Architecturale d'A. et G. Perret.
To
my
knowledge, this is the only mention anywhere in print of the latter
publication.
It was to have twenty pages of text and fiftyésix plates, probably
drawn from the
five issues of the review featuring the Perrets' work: Autumn
1923, Spring 1924,
Autumn 1924, Summer
1925, and Autumn 1926, as these provide the
correct
number of plates. The only other Ferret plate published in the review was of
the
Pavillon de la "Samaritaine" at the Exposition Internationale des Arts
Decoratifs
in the Winter 1925 issue. The twenty pages of text
corresponds roughly with the
nineteen pages devoted to drawings of the Perret
projects in the five issues above
and to Badovici's article
A. et G. Perret
from Summer 1925. As this
would leave
no room for the typical four-page front matter, perhaps some pages of
drawings
were to be omitted.
