This major news item went relatively unnoticed. Vera Michalski, owner of the Libella group, which includes Buchet/Chastel among others, has just acquired Editions Robert Delpire. Vera Michalski-Hoffmann is the sister of Maja Hoffmann, the mecene of the Rencontres d’Arles festival. Robert Delpire will stay on as editor of the publishing house. We will be covering this event in more details later this week.
