 Item
Identifier: CC-49345-70388
Scope and Contents Robert LaVigne, a painter, illustrator and theatrical designer closely connected to the Beat poets, was present at the legendary Six Gallery poetry reading in 1955, and reportedly was responsible for introducing Allen Ginsberg to his life companion Peter Orlovsky, who had modeled for several LaVigne paintings; this large still life dates from that period.

 Item
Identifier: CC-49339-70382
Scope and Contents This book consists of color photographs of the artist in different situations. Jiri Georg Dokoupil was born in 1954 in Krnov, then Czechoslovakia, and in the seventies he studied fine art in Cologne, Frankfurt and New York. In 1982 he had one-man exhibitions in Cologne, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Paris. At the beginning of the eighties Dokoupil was a prominent member of the German neo-expressionist group Mulheimer Freiheit (together with Walter Dahn and four other artists). The artistic propositions of this group which coincided with similar ideas in the USA and in Italy, were greeted by excitement from art critics and, in retrospect, belong to one of the most influential movements of the international art scene of the eighties. Since 1983 Dokoupil has taught as a guest professor at the art academies of Dusseldorf, Madrid and Kassel. Dokoupil's work is difficult to describe using common classifications. There is no consistent style in his work. This is why Dokoupil can be described...
