ARSHILE GORKY: Beyond The Limit
Field, Parker. ARSHILE GORKY: Beyond The Limit. 80 pages, including 29 color and 20 b&w plates. 4to, cloth. Hauser & Wirth, 2022.
In 1946, Arshile Gorky (1904-48) spent the summer at Crooked Run Farm in Lincoln, Virginia. Among Gorky's output that summer was a series later referred to as the Virginia Summer drawings. During a 2020 treatment on The Limit, conservators discovered another work nested behind it-an expressively painted canvas immediately recognizable by its relationship to the Virginia Summer drawings. Beyond The Limit reveals this newly discovered painting, referred to as Untitled (Virginia Summer). A series of brushstroke details positions readers close to both canvases, along with a plate section that presents both paintings, select drawings and reference works.
