Hardcover. Condición: Used - Very Good. Copublished with the National Gallery of Art in celebration of Virginia Dwan s gift to the Gallery of her extraordinary personal collection, Dwan Gallery explores her remarkable career. Dwan is one of the most influential figures in the history of twentieth-century American art. Her eponymously named galleries, the first established in a Los Angeles storefront in 1959, followed by a second in New York in 1965, became a beacon for influential postwar American and European artists. She sponsored the debut show for Yves Klein in the United States, and she championed such artists as Franz Kline, Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Sol LeWitt, and Ad Reinhardt. Her Los Angeles gallery featured abstract expressionism, neo-Dada, and pop, while the New York branch became associated with the emerging movements of minimalism and conceptualism. At the same time, the gallery s influence expanded to remote locations in Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, where Dwan sponsored such iconic earthworks as Robert Smithson s Spiral Jetty, Michael Heizer s Double Negative, and Walter De Maria s Lightning Field. Though Dwan was a major force in the art world of the sixties and seventies, her story and the history of her gallery have been largely unexplored until now. Alongside lush full-color images of one hundred leading artworks, the book deepens our understanding of the artistic exchanges Dwan facilitated during this age of mobility, when air travel and the interstate highway system linked the two coasts and transformed the making of art and the sites of its exhibition. James Meyer, the curator of the exhibition and the foremost authority on minimal art, contributes an essay that is a sophisticated and broad-ranging analysis of Dwan s legacy. Honoring Dwan s significant influence and impact on postwar art, Dwan Gallery is a rich and informative collection that will be treasured by fans of contemporary art.' This is the catalogue for an exhibition organized by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, which explores the considerable contributions of Virginia Dwan and her legendary gallery to post-WWII American art.It is being carefully curated by Press author James Meyer. Founded by Virginia Dwan in 1959, the Dwan Gallery was a leading avant-garde space with locations in Los Angeles and New York, presenting the art of Franz Kline, Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Sol LeWitt, and Robert Smithson, among others. Where the Los Angeles gallery featured abstract expressionism, neo-dada, and Pop, the New York branch reflected the emerging movements of minimalism, conceptualism, and land art. The activities of the Dwan Gallery transpired not just in and between Los Angeles, New York, and Paris, but also in the wilderness of the American West, where Dwan fostered a new genre of art known as earthworks (land art). A keen follower of the Parisian art scene, Dwan also gave many nouveaux realistes such as Yves Klein their debut shows in the United States.' wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.…

Hardcover. Condición: VG+/VG+. Hardcover, gray cloth with color dustjacket with 408 pp generously illustrated with BW and color reproductions. Virginia Dwan, founder of leading avant-garde galleries in Los Angeles and New York between 1959 and 1971, was a major force in an art world made increasingly mobile by commercial jets and the interstate highway system. New York artists Franz Kline, Philip Guston, Ad Reinhardt, Robert Rauschenberg, and Claes Oldenburg, along with the Los Angeles-based Edward Kienholz, were among those who had shows in Dwan's Westwood gallery. A keen follower of the Parisian art scene, Dwan also gave Yves Klein and Martial Raysse their American debuts. Her 1962 group show My Country 'Tis of Thee is among the earliest exhibitions of pop art. Dwan supported artists who challenged the limits of art's status as both object and commodity and who eventually developed an art sited outside the gallery in remote locations in the American West. If the Los Angeles gallery featured abstract expressionism, neo-Dada, and pop, the New York branch broke ground with brilliant presentations of minimalism (10, 1966), conceptual art (Language II-IV, 1968-1970), and land art featuring the work of Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, and others (Earthworks, 1968). Dwan sponsored iconic earthworks such as Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty, Michael Heizer's Double Negative, Walter De Maria's 35-Pole Lightning Field, and Charles Ross's Star Axis. This is the storied history of the Dwan Gallery told by an astute scholar of modern art, the gallerist herself, and a meticulous researcher.…

Condición: Near Fine. First printing. First edition of this comprehensive visual history of the legendary and highly influential gallery. When Virginia Dwan opened the storied Dwan Gallery in a Los Angeles storefront in 1959, she (together with Ferus Gallery) helped establish Los Angeles as a nexus of the art world to rival New York or Paris. While Dwan's earliest exhibitions focused on certain established artists and Abstract Expressionists, by the early 1960s the gallery was increasingly showing Pop and Neo-Dada artists like Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Yves Klein, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, and James Rosenquist. By the middle of the decade, and especially after establishing a second location in NYC in 1965, Dwan focused increasingly on major minimalist and conceptual artists such as Sol LeWitt, Carl Andre, Arakawa, Robert Morris, Dan Flavin and others - eventually becoming the most important gallery to support landscape and other Earthworks artists like Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer. Though the gallery would last little more than a decade, its impact was enormous. Dwan not only exhibited and promoted her artists, she also funded their projects - and it is not an overstatement to say that without the support of Dwan such canonical works as Robert Smithson's "Spiral Jetty" and Michael Heizer's "Double Negative" (which the artist eventually gave to Dwan) would simply not exist. Dwan was also a pioneer in creating promotional materials that were themselves works of art, frequently designed by the artists for conceptual works that otherwise often lacked any other physical manifestation. These ephemeral publications are documented in this book, as is the the history and impact of the gallery. A necessary reference. 10.75'' x 9.25''. Original full grey cloth boards.
