Copley - Götz Adriani - Bog

The catalog features more than eighty works by the American William Copley (1919-1996), who as gallery owner, artist, author, and publisher, operated as an important mediator between the surrealists and the pop art movement since the mid-1940s and was one of the most unconventional personalities in the art scene. Tying in with the tradition of Dada, Surrealism, and American pop art, his paintings are an ironic examination of the erotic game played by men and women. The catalog includes numerous unpublished essays by Copley, and several of his works are presented for the first time.
