TIBOR DE NAGY GALLERY
Painters & Poets: Tibor de Nagy Gallery
Edited by Eric Brown. Foreword by Eric Brown. Text by Douglas Crase, Jenni Quilter.
Painters and Poets: Tibor de Nagy Gallery celebrates the gallery’s pivotal role in launching the New York School of poets and in fostering a new collaborative ethos among poets and painters. The show (which marked Tibor de Nagy’s sixtieth anniversary) and its accompanying catalogue focused on the gallery’s first two decades, the 1950s and 60s, when its salon-like atmosphere gave birth to these unique collaborations. This volume features paintings by Helen Frankenthaler, Alfred Leslie, Trevor Winkfield, Nell Blaine, Joe Brainard, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, Jane Freilicher and Fairfield Porter; poetry publications from Tibor de Nagy Editions; poems by Frank O’Hara, Kenneth Koch, James Schuyler, John Ashbery, Barbara Guest and others, with illustrations by Tibor de Nagy artists; photographs by Rudy Burckhardt; letters, announcement cards and other ephemera; and archival photographs of leading cultural figures of the day by John Gruen and Fred McDarrah.
