Risking the Abstract Mexican Modernism and the Art of Gunther Gerzso

The man Octavio Paz called a "glacial spark" was a painter for whom intuition always had the last word. But Gunther Gerzso's work has in recent years lacked the in-depth attention it deserves, a situation meant to be righted by Risking the Abstract. Originally conceived in collaboration with the artist, and finished with the help of his widow and sons, this volume and exhibition provide a better understanding of the artist's essential role in shaping an alternative approach to Modernism in Mexico, one that bears an important relationship to Abstract Expressionism in the United States and art informelin Europe.Gerzso, Gunther is the author of 'Risking the Abstract Mexican Modernism and the Art of Gunther Gerzso', published 0014 under ISBN 9788475065441 and ISBN 8475065449.
