About the Item
Arshile Gorky: A Retrospective by Professor Michael Taylor and Kim Theriault. Yale University Press, Published 2009. 1st Ed Hardcover with dust jacket exhibition catalog for show at Philadelphia Museum of Art October 21, 2009 - January 10, 2010. Arshile Gorky (1904-1948) was one of the central figures in American Art's shift toward abstraction during the first half of the 20th c. Accompanying the first major retrospective of his work in almost thirty years, this book traces the evolution of Gorky's arresting visual style. Nearly 200 paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints from all phases of his career, a number of which are published here for the first time, are beautifully reproduced, including a large figurative painting from 1927 known previously only through its preparatory studies. Throughout the book, some of Gorky's best-known and most powerful works are paired with related pieces or with meticulous preliminary studies, shedding new light on his artistic process. Illustrated essays incorporating recently discovered biographical information and photographs examine his experience of the Armenian genocide (during which he witnessed the death of his mother), his collaboration with the Works Progress Administration, and his early explorations of Abstraction and Surrealism, providing important reassessments of his life and career. Admired by many of his contemporaries and hugely influential on subsequent generations of artists, Gorky created a complex and deeply moving body of work that encompasses styles ranging from Impressionism to Cubism, Surrealism, and the beginnings of Abstract Expressionism.

Contemporary Art Afternoon May 16, 2007 Sotheby's, 1st Ed
Located in valatie, NY
Contemporary Art Afternoon May 16, 2007 Sotheby's. Published by Sotheby's, NY, 2007. 1st Ed softcover auction catalogue. The Rockefeller name worked its magic at Sotheby’s sale of contemporary art, where a mysterious bearded collector in a skybox outbid five other contenders for Rothko’s “White Center (Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose).” The $72.8 million he paid, far above the painting’s $40 million estimate, set records for both the artist and for any contemporary work at auction. Sotheby’s declined to say who the buyer was or where he was from. But the seller was David Rockefeller, the retired banker and chairman emeritus of the Museum of Modern Art, who had decided to cash in on the market and invest the money in other philanthropic endeavors. Seasoned auction goers noticed that last night rubles appeared for the first time on the salesroom’s currency board, along with dollars, euros, pounds and Swiss...

'Shoe-In', Paris, New York Abstraction, ASL, Arshile Gorky, Woman Artist
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Signed lower left, 'Corinne West' for Michael Corinne West (American, 1908-1991) and painted circa 1965. Titled, verso, 'Red, White and Grey' and inscribed, 'Shoe-In'.
Corinne Michelle (Michael) West occupies a singular position in the history of American abstraction, bridging the New York School’s formative years with a fiercely independent sensibility. Born in Chicago and raised in Ohio, she studied at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music before transferring her ambitions to painting and entering the Cincinnati Art Academy in the late 1920s. By 1932 she had moved to New York, enrolling at the Art Students League where she studied with John Sloan and, more crucially, with the German émigré Hans Hofmann. Hofmann’s rigorous formalism and insistence on the “push–pull” dynamic of color relationships proved decisive for her early development.
West’s formative European encounter came in 1933–34, when she traveled abroad, working briefly in France and absorbing both Cubism and Surrealist idioms then dominant in Paris. Back in New York she aligned herself with the small but growing circle of advanced modernists, exhibiting with the American Abstract Artists and maintaining close ties to Arshile Gorky, with whom she had both a personal and artistic relationship. At Gorky’s urging, she changed her professional name from “Corinne” to “Corinne Michelle West,” later signing works as “C. M. West” or “Michael West...
