"All the bronze sculptures in this exhibition were cast from recently discovered plasters made from Degas' original waxes during his lifetime and with his consent. This is remarkable since all the other bronzes one currently sees in museums and elsewhere were cast from masters made after the artist's death. Therefore the bronzes in this exhibition can be considered the original versions and all the others the second versions of the sculptures. Thus for the first time it will be possible for experts scholars and the general public to compare the artist's bronzes in the before and after states which is almost unparalleled in the history of art."

Profusely illustrated with full page color and in-text b/w reproductions of Höch's extraordinary work throughout. "The complex interplay between public and private that typifies Höch's work in photomontage stands in utter defiance of our historically conditioned expectations. Given her roots in the most socially active wing of the international Dada movement and her near-exclusive use of illustrated periodicals for the source imagery of her pieces there is an expectation that Höch's photomontages be "public"–that is deal with public issues and public perceptions. Höch's work tells us–by omission as much as inclusion–what it was like to be a woman and an artist during the time in which she lived." Boswell. Contains chronology exhibition history bibliography and index at rear. Binding with light wear along edges interior in fine condition. Walker Art Center hardcover books
