20 Abstract Expressionists Who Made Sculptures and Ceramics
Artsy Editorial
This rare vintage offset lithograph invitation published on the occasion of an important exhibition of works in the mid Seventies by John Chamberlain at the legendary Leo Castelli Gallery. In 2012, there was major retrospective exhibition of Chamberlain's work at the Guggenheim Museum. Chamberlain's estate is represented by Gagosian Gallery.
Leo Castelli was the longtime dealer of Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg, but perhaps is best known for "discovering" Jasper Johns.
An uncommon and collectible piece of art historical ephemera.

About John Chamberlain
John Chamberlain is best known for his twisting sculptures made from scrap metal and banged up, discarded automobile parts and other industrial detritus. “My work has nothing to do with car wrecks,“ he has said. “I believe common materials are the best materials.” With its emphasis on paint finishes and the raw materials’ lines and seams, his work has been described as a kind of three-dimensional Abstract Expressionist painting. While his breakthrough work dates form the 1960s (namely in sculpture), he has also more recently worked with large-scale photography.
