Reviews

[Kim · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent book detailing the story of the European surrealist artists and photographers whose work was introduced to New York by Julien Levy in his gallery. By the way the author of this book is Julien Levy. Joseph Cornell is in the book and Ingrid Schaffer wrote the forward. They are not the authors.

[John · Rating 4 out of 5]

excellent memoir by an innovative art dealer who showed Surrealist works when it wasn't popular
or profitable

[Iniville · Rating 3 out of 5]

He's a blowhard but there are lots of worthy anecdotes to make it worthwhile.
