About the Item
Boris Margo is one of the artists whose work is instantly identified with 'Mid-century American Modernism.' Usually abstract with a spiky surrealist edge, it speaks to extensive innovation and experimentation. In particular Margo developed printmaking techniques using celluloid and acetone, and the transfer technique known as decalomania in painting.
In 1928 Margo left Europe -- his native Ukraine and Russia where he had been studying -- and traveled to Montreal, Canada. In 1930 he immigrated to New York. In New York City he became part of the avant-garde artists community. He shared an apartment with Mark Rothko, served as an assistant to Arshile Gorky, showed with Betty Parsons Gallery, and also participated in exhibitions at Peggy Guggenheim's Art of the Century Gallery.
In New York, in 1948 in Orlando, Florida, and then in 1949, in Provincetown, Massachusetts, he established the Creative Art Seminar (later known as 'Artists Gallery'). His first major exhibition was at the Artists Gallery in New York City.
This heavy embossed engraving is typical of the prints he made in the 1960s. It is on a folded sheet. The top page (3 x 8 1/2 inches) is initialed in pencil by Margo and the inside has the ink annotation 'Peace and Joy in 1962, Boris and Jan Gelb Margo.' (He was married to the artist Jan Gelb.) The entire sheet measures 3 x 17 inches.
