About the Item
Born in 1940 in Shostka, Ukraine, Konstantin Bokov immigrated to New York City in 1974.Born the son of Viktor Bokov, the well known poet who perished in the Soviet gulag, Konstantin Bokov was an accordion player and sheep-herderbefore he became a self-taught artist and expelled dissident.
When he appeared at the Morin-Miller Gallery in 1978 bearing a painting of a
Tropicana juice carton, Carmen Morin brought it home. Jack Miller
remembers his reaction: "We don't buy art, we sell it!" --- then their
personal collection of Bokov's work grew to over a hundred pieces.
Many paintings, sketches, collages and recycle assemblages were done,
It's been said that Bokov’s canvases and recycled pieces offer an image of
New York that is both a scathing critique and profession of love. This is
especially evident in his pieces "Manhattan Madness (Road Repair)" and his
Statue of Liberty series, here offering "Classic Lady Liberty".
Bokov's impromptu work in public spaces has been the subject of an article
in The New York Times. His current work was featured at a show in August
at the Van der Plas Gallery on South Street in Manhattan.
Bokov attended the Art Academy of Leningrad (St. Petersburg), where he studied music and was introduced to painting. After finishing school, he moved to Moscow, where he encountered Van Gogh’s Red Sunset, which ultimately inspired him to begin painting.
Konstantin Bokov has appeared alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring at the Now Gallery and in other shows including the Emerging Collectors Gallery, Morin Miller Gallery, the Grant Gallery, and the Monique Goldstrum Gallery. He showed at the 2008 European Outsider Art Fair in Vienna and the Outsider Art Fair in New York.
Bokov is also the subject of an award winning independent documentary entitled, Free (2012) which follows his process from the discovery of raw trash through it’s transformation into art objects and then finally the placing of his new creations in public places for an unsuspecting to audience. Free has been screened and honored at numerous festivals around the globe.

Eagle's Nest
By Valton Tyler
Located in Dallas, TX
In The New York Times Arts in America column, Edward M. Gomez writes of Valton Tyler, "visionary seems the right word for describing his vivid, unusual and technically refined paintings, prints and drawings, whose style defies convenient labels. Abstract, surreal, cartoonish, sci-fi fantastic, metaphysical, apocalyptic-Baroque - all of these fit but also fall short of fully describing his art." (The Living Arts, June 13, 2000, p. B2)
Valton Tyler was born in 1944 in Texas, where "the industrial world of oil refineries made a long-lasting impression on Valton as a very young child living in Texas City." (Reynolds, p. 25) After leaving Texas City, Valton made his way to Dallas, where he briefly enrolled at the Dallas Art Institute, but found it to be too social and commercial for his taste. After Valton's work was introduced to Donald Vogel (founder of Valley House Gallery), "Vogel arranged for Tyler to use the printmaking facilities in the art department of the Southern Methodist University in Dallas, where the young artist essentially taught himself several demanding printmaking techniques. 'It was remarkable,' Vogel says. 'Not only did he learn complicated etching methods, but he was able to express himself powerfully in whatever medium he explored.' Vogel became the publisher of Tyler's prints. Among them, the artist made editions of some 50 different images whose sometimes stringy abstract forms and more solid, architecturally arresting elements became the precursors of his later, mature style." (Gomez, Raw Vision #35, p. 36)
"Eagle’s Nest" is Plate Number 37, and is reproduced in "The First Fifty Prints: Valton Tyler" with text by Rebecca Reynolds, published for Valley House Gallery by Southern Methodist University Press, Dallas, Texas, 1972.
In "The First Fifty Prints," Reynolds provides the following quote from the artist regarding this print:
“The structure on the right is an architectural symbol for an eagle. It is also like a machine that is igniting the shape on the left. Below, the egg that is coming out of the chute is a child which will evolve into another architectural eagle...
