Text engl. - Other edition: Dt. Parallelausgabe. - „From Picasso to Warhol: Eddy Novarro knew them all. The Romanian photographer traveled around the world in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, taking portraits of everybody who was anybody in the international art scene. It is worth noting that, in return, Novarro often received artworks from the artists whose photographs he had taken. Some of these were hasty sketches and drawings, sometimes created specially for him, while others were elaborate paintings. The catalogue presents 80 of the greatest painters and sculptors of their time in photographs by Eddy Novarro. His photographs are juxtaposed with the artists’ works from Novarro’s personal collection. The result is a special portrait of the avant-garde in the fine arts of the late twentieth century, featuring Mark Rothko, Roy Lichtenstein, Giorgio de Chirico, Henry Moore, Man Ray, Willem de Kooning, René Magritte and others. It is a true ,Who is who’ of the art world in approximately 250 illustrations.“ (Publisher’s text).
