Julien Levy: Portrait of an Art Gallery by Ingrid Schaffner,

Julien Levy: Portrait of an Art Gallery by Ingrid Schaffner,
Julien Levy (1906-1981) was one of the most influential art dealers of the twentieth century. The Julien Levy Gallery, which opened in New York in 1931 and closed in 1949, played an essential role in the shift of the cultural avant-garde from Paris to New York. It was the first American gallery to sponsor a show on Surrealism and to champion Neoromanticism, Magic Realism, and Machine Abstraction. Luis Bunuel's film "Un Chien Andalou and Joseph Cornell's "Rose Hobart were first screened in the gallery. Among the artists Levy exhibited were Eugene Atget, Constantin Brancusi, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Joseph Cornell, Salvador Dali, Walt Disney, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Walker Evans, Leonor Fini, Naum Gabo, Alberto Giacometti, Arshile Gorky, Frida Kahlo, Fernand Leger, Rene Magritte, Lee Miller, Man Ray, Ben Shahn, and Dorothea Tanning. Levy also initiated the cocktail opening.This book, which accompanies a retrospective exhibition on the Julien Levy Gallery in New York, includes reproductions of paintings, photographs, and film stills from museum and private collections, as well as of art and ephemera from Levy's own collection. The book offers recollections of Levy and his gallery from several angles. Dorothea Tanning reminisces about her lifelong friendship with her first dealer. Ingrid Schaffner surveys the evolution of Levy's enterprise from combination curiosity shop, exhibition space, and performance site into a model for the contemporary art gallery. Steven Watson discusses Levy's personal and professional affiliations with the "Harvard Moderns"--Alfred Barr, Jr., and A. Everett Austin among them. Carolyn Burke looks at Levy's complex relationship with his mother-in-law, poet andpainter Mina Loy, who acted as his agent and mentor in Paris. Finally, Lisa Jacobs provides a chronology of the events of the gallery and of Levy's life."Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Equitable Gallery, New York.

White Cube: 44 Duke Street, St. James's London by Liam Gillick, X
Arguably the most important contemporary commercial art gallery in England, possibly even in Europe, with an artist list that reads like a Who's Who of the art scene now, White Cube is celebrating its 10th birthday this year. Set up by Jay Jopling in 1993 as a project room, perhaps the smallest exhibition space in Europe, White Cube quickly became one of the most influential galleries of the past decade. Situated at 44 Duke Street, St. James's, on London's most traditional art-dealing street, surrounded by Christie's, Old Master galleries, and specialist art bookshops, the gallery space was quite literally an ethereal white cube, designed by the architect Claudio Silvestrin. The central concern when establishing the program was to create an intimate space in which an artist could present a single important work of art or a coherent body of work within a focused environment. Exhibited artists included Franz Ackermann, Sophie Calle, Chuck Close, Fischli and Weiss, Katharina Fritsch, Anna Gaskell, Nan Goldin, Gary Hill, Ellsworth Kelly, Richard Prince, Doris Salcedo, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Luc Tuymans, and Jeff Wall. Punctuating this international roster were a series of exhibitions by British artists such as Darren Almond, Dinos and Jake Chapman, Tracey Emin, Lucian Freud, Antony Gormley, Sarah Lucas, Marcus Harvey, Mona Hatoum, Damien Hirst, Gary Hume, Marc Quinn, Sam Taylor-Wood, and Gavin Turk. This book records the gallery's 10-year history, illustrating each and every one of the 75 exhibitions mounted at the Duke Street space, along with all related ephemera and individual essays on each show.
