Wallace Berman, The Jewish Museum, New York, September 17 - November 17, 1968

 


Wallace Berman had a solo show at the Jewish Museum in 1968, curated by Kynaston McShine. He went to NYC for the hanging of the show, as well as to the opening. He went to NYC by himself, stayed at someone's apartment and immediatly got homesick for Topanga. On the other hand, the nearby bar/tavern was Max's Kansas City, and that was a good sign.

New York: The Jewish Museum, 1968. Paper browned, light edge creases; very good in illustrated printed wrappers.. First Edition. Oblong quarto, folded. Catalogue for Berman's exhibition "Verifax Collages" at The Jewish Museum, New York, September 17 - November 17, 1968. Four panel illustration on the verso. Text by James Monte, checklist, exhibition directed by Kynaston McShine.
