Numerals 1924-1977: Yale University Art Gallery, Leo Castelli Gallery, Dartmouth College Museum and Galleries
Catalog of a traveling art exhibition held at Leo Castelli Gallery in New York from January 7-January 28, 1978, hence at the Yale University Art Gallery, Dartmouth College Museum and seven other venues, primarily university-related. Published in 1978 by Yale University Art Gallery with text by Rainer Crone, Carl Andre et al. Small square 4to (9.5” x 9.5”), printed wrappers, 84 unnumbered pages, b/w illustrations with artist bibliographies at rear. According to Crone in the preface, the theme of numerals was chosen in part because “numerical order as a subject—to be clearly distinguished from mathematical or geometrical concepts—is an essential and significant artistic phenomenon of the last decade” and because numerals “represents one advanced alternative to formalistic ‘abstract art’ in general, attempting to go beyond formalistic issues and questions of style toward content.” Features an artwork with descriptive text by Carl Andre, Mel Boehner, Trisha Brown, John Cage, Peter Eisenman, Dan Flavin, Dan Graham, Eva Hesse, Arata Isozaki, Don Judd, Paul Klee, Sol LeWitt, Richard Paul Lohse, Agnes Martin, Manfred Mohr, Francois Morellet, Robert Smithson, Georges Vantangerloo, Bernar Vente, and others. Light bumping and rubbing to extremities. Some soiling to wrappers, especially at bottom corner of rear wrapper.
