PAB [Pierre-André Benoit], affiche originale pour son exposition à l'Hôtel de Ville d'Uzés, du 17 au 24 mai 1983, dans le cadre de l''action poétique audio-visuelle"", signée PAB au crayon sous le dessin et justifié par l'artiste 9/10. Dimensions : 36x26cm. Papier violet. Encre noire. Pierre-André Benoit a créé le dessin spécialement pour l'affiche de cette exposition — le dessin original est en main privée — dont il a tiré lui-même 10 exemplaires de tête tous justifiés et signés au crayon. Ce tirage offset extrêmement rare a été réalisé à l'Atelier Sérigraphie de Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie. Toutes les affiches de la série (nous avons vu les 10 de tête + quelques exemplaires non justifiés/non signés) ont toujours des petits défauts d'impression (cf. photo où l'on peut voir deux petites bandes noires à gauche de la signature de PAB. Les 8 exemplaires de tête restant étant en main privée, il va sans dire que les deux exemplaires que nous proposons (5/10 et 9/10) sont de la plus grande rareté. * ** Poète, imprimeur, éditeur, collectionneur, Pierre André Benoit dit PAB (1921-1993), natif d'Alès, connut un destin éditorial hors norme. En 1986, il fit don de sa collection d'œuvres d’art à sa ville natale, Alès, et de ses collections littéraires à la Bibliothèque nationale de France (réserve des livres rares et précieux). Peintures, gouaches, dessins, estampes, sculptures, livres d'artistes : près de 425 ouvrages. Le château de Rochebelle fut acquis par la ville d’Alès pour y accueillir en 1989 le Musée-bibliothèque Pierre-André Benoit, soit des peintures, gravures et sculptures d'Alechinsky, Arp, Braque, Bryen, Hugo, Mirò, Picabia, Picasso, Survage, Vieira Da Silva, etc., des livres illustrés par ces artistes avec des textes de Breton, Char, Dubuffet, etc.
