About This Item
Washington, D.C. and New York: Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, in association with Princeton Architectural Press, 2015. 160 pages, illustrations (some colour); 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated First edition. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A fine copy of the first printing. "Tucked away among the letters, diaries, and other ephemera in the Smithsonian's archives lies a trove of rarely seen snapshots of some of the twentieth century's most celebrated artists. Unlike the familiar official portraits and genius-at-work shots, these humble snaps capture creative giants with their guard down, in the moment, living life. Pablo Picasso stands proudly on a balcony with young daughter Maya a tiny, meticulously inked annotation penned by an unknown hand proclaims that 'he's very much in love.' Jackson Pollock morosely carves a turkey while his mother, Stella, and wife, Lee Krasner, look on. A young Andy Warhol clowns for the camera with college friend Philip Pearlstein, and in a later shot more closely resembles his famously enigmatic public self at a gallery opening with John Lennon and Yoko Ono." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo. Collectible.
