Lot notes:
A largely unsung hero of the art world, Meyer Schapiro (1904-1996), a lifelong professor at Columbia University, was a titan of thought during a period that was in need of scholars to direct the conversation around abstraction and its role in the present and future of art history. His influence in the New York art scene during his lifetime is incalculable. He helped to launch the careers of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning and codified the importance of Abstract Expressionism and Abstraction in general at a time when it was struggling for acceptance. The portfolio presented here was published in 1974 by the The Committee to Endow a Chair in Honor of Meyer Schapiro at Columbia University, New York. Each of the now iconic artists in this portfolio were in some way influenced by Schapiro"s thought and influence early in their careers.
