Catalogue of exhibition to be held at National Gallery of Art Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and Albright-Knox Art Gallery from May 1995 to March 1996. Michael Auping's valuable text provides an introduction to the life and art of Arshile Gorky as well as an insightful consideration of the grand psychological landscape The Liver is the Cock's Comb 1944 a work pivotal to the development of Gorky's style. Dore Ashton writes a lucid account of this artist who tends to resist classification contributing an art historical overview of Gorky's appreciation of such modern innovators of abstraction and Surrealism as Miro and Kandinsky. Matthew Spender provides biographical details of Gorky's early years while a selection of Gorky's personal letters further sheds an intimate light on the artist and his achievements. Arshile Gorky 1904-1948 is recognized as one of the most crucial and intriguing figures in the early shaping of Abstract Expressionism. Gorky pioneered a complex vocabulary of forms by fusing landscapes remembered from his childhood home in Armenia with surrealist imagery and abstract plumes of color. In so doing he helped create a distinctly new vision for painting leading American art into one of the most experimental periods in its history. Gorky's most important paintings and drawings were executed from 1940 through 1947 powerfully expansive years that many regard as his breakthrough period. His rich mature work of these years is the focus of this illuminating volume the most comprehensive book on the subject. Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth paperback books

Catalogue from the touring exhibition of monumental statues of Soviet leaders and history instigated by Komar & Melmid. Includes essays by 7 experts a checklist of the works and very brief biographical information about each artist represented. The focal point of the exhibition/catalogue is "to leave the statues at their sites and transform them through art into history lessons." Upon the dissolution of the USSR many statues of the Soviet leaders were either destroyed or taken to statue graveyards as in Budapest. Kolmar & Melamid propose creative changes/additions such as putting an enormous pigeon on Lenin's head or wrapping a noose around another's neck and leaving him dangling for all to see. A vicarious retaliation of sorts and a creative entree to a history lesson necessary for some aspects of Soviet life not to be repeated. An excellent catalogue.
