Catalog published in conjunction with Gottlieb's landmark November-December 1957 exhibition at The Jewish Museum, documenting the artist's development from the Pictographs through the emergence of the iconic Burst paintings. Small 4to (7” x 9”), pictorial wrappers, 20 pages, b/w illustrations. An important early Abstract Expressionist catalog containing a substantial contemporary essay by Clement Greenberg, among the most influential critics and champions of postwar American art. A particularly handsome production, featuring a striking cover reproduction of a Burst painting. A visually arresting and historically significant document from a pivotal moment in both the artist’s career and the Museum’s program. Moderate bumping and rubbing to extremities; a few annotations by previous owner.
