Other Points of View Leslie- Lohman Museum Of Art

This is a high class beautifully installed museum quality exhibition on the little known literary and art magazine View. It was produced with loving care by Charles Henri Ford and Parker Tyler for about 7 years and was highlighted by contributions from many of the leading off beat, off the road artists and writers of the day. Some are now quite famous and back issues of the magazine can go for a pretty penny. The most sought after one is with a cover by Duchamp and I sold my copy a few years back for practically the cost of my rent. The exhibit features artwork, some splendid I might add by the likes of Noguchi, Tchelitchew, Florine Stettheimer along with a display of the covers and lots of ephemera and more. The emphasis of the magazine was surrealism with a strong homo bent thus the magazine was attacked by some of the leading misogynists & homophobes of the day including Breton and Clement Greenberg. But who gives a shit what they have to say.
