Prospectus for The Intrasubjectives. Exhibition at the Samuel M. Kootz Gallery
New York: 1949. First edition. Folding prospectus, forming a large poster when unfolded (central folds). Very good condition.
Scarce poster-prospectus for the 1949 Kootz Gallery exhibition of the “Intrasubjectives,” marking an early formation of Abstract Expressionism.
Exhibition prospectus for the Kootz Gallery presentation of the “Intrasubjectives,” documenting an early moment in the emergence of what would later be termed Abstract Expressionism. The publication announces and frames the work of artists including Willem de Kooning, Arshile Gorky, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, Ad Reinhardt, and Mark Rothko, at a stage before the movement had acquired its later critical designation.
Texts by Harold Rosenberg accompany the presentation, situating the group within a developing discourse of postwar abstraction. The design—by William Baziotes, Hans Hofmann, and Adolph Gottlieb—reflects the close alignment between artistic production and exhibition graphics characteristic of the New York avant-garde of the late 1940s.
