Zabriskie: Fifty Years

Zabriskie: Fifty Years 208 pages extensively illustrated in color & b/w book size 11¼" x 9½" (28.6 x 24.1 cm.) published 2005, Ruder Finn Press, NY hardbound text in English author Virginia Zabriskie ISBN: 1932646159 Condition: as new Includes works by Claude Cahun, Enrico Donati, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Georges Hugnet, Andre Masson, Alfonso Ossorio, Man Ray, Dorothea Tanning, among many others along with an exhaustive, abundantly illustrated chronology of exhibitions held at both the New York and Paris branches of the Zabriskie Gallery over its fifty year history. Excerpted from the New York Observer by Hilton Kramer: [Virginia] Zabriskie founded the gallery that bears her name in 1954, and over the course of half a century, the gallery has mounted some 800 exhibitions....Ms. Zabriskie featured a roster of both younger and well-established American artists: Pat Adams, Clinton Hill and Lester Johnson, among the painters, and Mary Frank, Elie Nadelman and Richard Stankiewicz, among the sculptors....The point I want to make is that from the outset of her career in the art world, Virginia Zabriskie brought an amazing artistic command to her exhibition programs, both here and abroad, often to a degree that went beyond what the museums were attempting in the same period. She wasn't the only art dealer to do so, of course, but her Paris adventure remains, if not unique, certainly unusual...{T}he Zabriskie Gallery is very much alive on its 50th anniversary. To mark the occasion...an elegant hardcover book, Zabriskie: Fifty Years, has been published by the Ruder Finn Press.
