2. Artist Robert Zeller Dives into the Legacy of Surrealism in New Book
Artist Robert Zeller offers readers a sweeping survey of Surrealism, one of the world’s most memorable art movements, in a new book that examines its history and current role in modern-day painting. In New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting (Phaidon), Zeller retraces the movement’s origins as well as key figures in its uprising, including Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Leonora Carrington, as well as the impact of Andre Breton’s death. From there, the artist examines the influence this art movement still has on contemporary painting today, spotlighting nearly 40 artists whose work holds key themes found in Surrealist works. Among the artists featured are Anna Weyant, Arghavan Khosravi, Glenn Brown, Ginny Casey, Inka Essenhigh, Rosa Loy, and Ewa Juszkiewicz. A book signing and talk will take place on December 12 at Gagosian Beverly Hills as part of Juszkiewicz’s solo show with the gallery. —Shelby Black
