Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at the British Library in 2007, the book is organized into the following sections: Introduction; The Manifesto; The Livre d'Artiste and the Artist's Book; the Avant-Garde and the Little Magazine; The Avant-Garde Photo-Book; Legacy. The dust jacket states,"This book focuses on the printed work of avant-garde artistic movements such as Cubism, Expressionism, Futurism, Dadaism, Constructivism and Surrealism. Avant-garde artists and writers published their own manifestos, poetry magazines and books, and created new genres such as the artist's book and the photo-book. Printed works were easy to distribute and helped to disseminate avant-garde ideas internationally. Around 30 cities of particular importance to the avant-garde are featured, and their artists and contributions are described in depth." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Paris-Moscow was one of four major exhibitions curated and designed by the Pompidou Centre dealing with the art connections in Paris and between Paris and three other major cities in the first third of the 20th century. The other exhibitions were Paris-Berlin, Paris-New York and Paris-Paris. The Sackners attended these exhibitions in Paris and purchased these catalogues (first editions) concurrently. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The exhibition was curated by Maurice Tuchman and Stephanie Barron. This catalogue contains seventeen essays that provide a radical rethinking of abstraction with special attention to the pioneers of nonrepresentational art. The exhibition focuses on what the artist intended his painting to mean rather than how it looked. " By offering clues to the now-hidden meanings of abstract art, it helps make the esoteric accessible and the obscure visible, illuminating not only the art but also the spiritual beliefs that nourished it." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
