    The Permanent Rebellion of Nicolas Calas: The Trotskyist Time Forgot Wald, Alan. Against the Current; Detroit Vol. 33, Iss. 4, (Sep/Oct 2018): 27-35. Abstract Foyers d'incendie, which has never been fully translated into English, involves a reworking of Freud's idea of the pleasure principle (behavior directed toward immediate satisfaction of instinctual drives and reduction of pain) to include a desire to change the future. [...] rather than following Freud in accepting civilization as necessary repression, Calas was adamant in posing a revolutionary alternative: "Since desire cannot simply do as it pleases, it is forced to adopt an attitude toward reality, and to this end it must either try to submit to as many of the demands of its environment as possible, or try to transform as far as possible everything in its environment which seems contrary to its desires. According to Schapiro, Breton chose van Heijenoort and Calas to defend dialectical materialism, while Schapiro arranged for Columbia philosopher of science Ernest Nagel and British logical positivist A. J. Ayer (then working for the British government on assignment in the United States) to raise objections. Exponents such as Larry Rivers, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns often drew on advertising, comic books and mundane cultural objects to convey an irony accentuating the banal aspects of United States culture. Since Pop Art used a style that was hard-edged and representational, it has been interpreted as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, the post-World War II anti-figurative aesthetic that emphasizes spontaneous brush strokes or the dripping and splattering of paint.

    Alexander the Great: The Iolas Gallery 1955-1987 March 6 – April 26, 2014 Paul Kasmin Gallery, New York 293 10th Avenue Opening Reception: Thursday, March 6, 2014, 6 – 8 PM Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce the forthcoming exhibition Alexander the Great: The Iolas Gallery 1955-1987, which will showcase work by many major artists whose careers were defined through their work with influential 20th century art dealer Alexander Iolas. The exhibition will be on view from March 6 – April 26, 2014 at 293 10th Avenue. Alexander the Great is organized in collaboration with Vincent Fremont and Adrian Dannatt. A comprehensive monograph will be published at the time of the exhibition and will include a foreword by Bob Colacello, extensive interviews and essay by Adrian Dannatt, and archival material provided by The William N. Copley Estate, The Fontana Foundation, The Yves Klein Archives, The Jules Olitski Estate, The Takis Foundation, The Estate of Dorothea Tanning, and The Andy Warhol Foundation. Iolas played a pivotal role in twentieth century art in America. He is recognized for being among the first to introduce American audiences to Surrealism, mounting Andy Warhol’s first gallery exhibition, and being an artist’s advocate who championed work according to his own tastes, rather than popular trends. Iolas was known throughout his career as a passionate art lover who built deep personal relationships and facilitated intercontinental connections among artists, gallerists, and collectors via his eponymous galleries in Athens, Geneva, Madrid, Milan, New York and Paris. His influence spread to arts patrons as well. His close work with Dominique de Menil, for example, helped to define and build her collection.

  • Networking Surrealism in the USA. Agents, Artists and the Market
    135 Magritte at the Rodeo: René Magritte in the Menil Collection Clare Elliott In the late 1940s, John1 and Dominique (born Schlumberger) de Menil’s attention was drawn to the enigmatic images of familiar objects by the Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte. Over the course of the next forty years, the couple established a critically acclaimed collection of paintings, sculpture, and drawings by Magritte in the United States, which are now housed at the museum that bears their name in their chosen home of Houston, Texas. Multifaceted, experimental collectors with strong philosophical inclinations, the de Menils relished Magritte’s provocations and his continual questioning of bourgeois convention. In 1993, Dominique described the qualities that attracted her and John to Magritte’s work: “He was very serious in dealing with the great pro- blem of who are we? What is the world? What are we doing on earth? What is after life? Is there anything?”2 A focused look at the formation of this particular aspect of their holdings allows insight into the ambi- tious goals that animated the de Menils and reveals the frequent and sometimes unexpected ways in which the networks of surrealism—gal- leries, collectors, museums, and scholars—intersected and overlapped in the United States in the second half of the twentieth century.3 1 Born Jean de Menil, he anglicized his name when he took American citizenship in 1962. 2 Quoted in Susie Kalil, “Magical Magritte Maze at the Menil,” Houston Press, January 21, 1993, p. 31. 3 For this paper I have consulted in addition to published sources the archives available to me as a curator at the Menil Collection: the object files initiated by John de Menil and added to over the years by researchers and museum staff; interviews given by the de Menils and their dealer Alexander Iolas; and material in the Menil Collection Archives, particularly the documents rela- ting to their involvement in the Hugo and Iolas Galleries, which were restricted until 2013, but are now available to researchers.

    ITALIAN MODERN ART | ISSUE 3: ISSN 2640-8511 It’s a Roman Holiday for Artists: The American Artists of L’Obelisco After World War II IT’S A ROMAN HOLIDAY FOR ARTISTS: THE AMERICAN ARTISTS OF L’OBELISCO AFTER WORLD WAR II italianmodernart.org/journal/articles/its-a-roman-holiday-for-artists-the-american- Ilaria0 Schiaffini Methodologies of Exchange: MoMA’s “Twentieth-Century Italian Art” (1949), Issue 3, January 2020 ABSTRACT L’Obelisco was among the most international of galleries in Rome (1946–81). Its owners, Gaspero del Corso and Irene Brin, established particularly close relationships with the United States starting in 1946, when the gallery opened. They organized the first European exhibition of Robert Rauschenberg, in 1953, and shows of Eugène Berman, Roberto Matta, Saul Steinberg, Ben Shahn, and Alexander Calder, among many others. In 1957, they facilitated the first European retrospective dedicated to Arshile Gorky, with a catalogue that included a preface by Afro. This paper addresses the presence in Italy, from World War II through the 1950s, of artists from the U.S. including exiles who had fled there from elsewhere in Europe during the conflict. Artistic, commercial, and political factors intertwined and favored the concentration of American artists in Italy after the Liberation. Starting with their management of the small gallery La Margherita (1943–45), the del Corso couple were a reference point for all sorts of visitors from the U.S., including intelligence agents. Thanks to the complicity of one such agent, the journalist and antiquarian Peter Lindamood, and of the gallerist Alexander Iolas, the “Fantasts” section of the MoMA exhibition Twentieth-Century Italian Art took shape.

Keywords: Alexander Iolas; post-war art; history of collections; Museum studies; art collectors 1. Introduction The name Alexander Iolas (born Konstantinos Koutsoudis, 1908–1987) is well known amongst scholars of post-war art. He was a collector, a patron and a dealer of avant-garde art (surrealism, pop art, nouveau réalisme, arte povera) with a lifelong passion for antiquities. Director of the Hugo Gallery in New York and co-founder of the Jackson-Iolas Gallery in 1955 [1], Iolas organised Andy Warhol’s first solo show in 1952 that presented 15 drawings inspired by the writings of Truman Capote. Subsequently, he owned and operated a chain of art galleries in Paris, New York, Milan, Geneva (Iolas- Engelberts Gallery), Madrid (Galeria Iolas-Velasco), Rome (Galleria Iolas-Galates) and Athens (Iolas-Zoumboulakis Gallery), exhibiting works by Max Ernst, Jean Tinguely, Wols, Ghika, Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Niki de Saint Phalle, Paul Klee, Roberto Matta, Takis, Lucio Fontana, René Magritte, Tateishi Tiger, Harold Stevenson, Öyvind Fahlström, Eva Aeppli, Victor Brauner, and many others (see list of exhibitions).

    280 julie waseige 106 Steve Schapiro, René Magritte and Alexander Iolas, 1965. 281 René Magritte in the United States: Reconciling Business and Art Julie Waseige After the Second World War, René Magritte embarked on a lengthy correspondence with Alexander Iolas, an art dealer of Greek descent based in New York. At a time when Magritte was gearing up to hand over the rights to the majority of his future paintings to Iolas, the first exchanges between the two men feature a series of negotiations in which Magritte clarifies the terms of their future collaboration. In a letter to Iolas dated March 2, 1950, Magritte stresses the importance of finding a balance between the necessity of meeting market demand and preserving his artistic freedom. The letter was prompted by his indigna- tion at Iolas’s request for him to paint a picture of roses in order to gain favor with a certain woman who “could be of great help” to them:1 “You sell pictures and I earn my livelihood from my work. Both you and I have chosen these occupations. Like you, I would like to sell a large number of works. But not just anything. I could obviously earn a great deal of money by producing a certain kind of painting for wealthy people with no taste, and you could make more money by selling such atrocities. But we must strike a happy medium: we must reconcile business and art! And if we wish to gain maximum benefit, let us not confuse art and business. This is why you must tell me as accurately as you can which of my works have the greatest chance of being sold, and that does not mean that works which are unsold (such 1 The woman in question was Fleur Cowles, founder of Flair Magazine, the new leading art jour- nal of the time.

    Networks, Museums and Collections Surrealism in the United States International Conference, 27-29 November 2017 German Center for Art History, Paris ABSTRACTS 1 The conference “Networks, Museums and Collections. Surrealism in the United States” will bring the complex networks that fostered and sustained Surrealism in North America into academic focus. Who – collectors, critics, dealers, galleries, and other types of mediating agents – supported the artists in the Surrealist orbit, in what ways and why? What more can be learned about high profile collectors such as the de Menils in Houston or Peggy Guggenheim in New York? Compared to their peers in Eu- rope, did artists in the United States use similarly spectacular strategies of publicity and mediation? In what networks did the commercial galleries operate, domestically and internationally, and how did they dialogue with museums? Were American artists in- cluded in the musealization of Surrealism in American museums as had occurred with the Parisian circle, or were they, on the contrary, excluded from this development? Di- vided into five sections (I. Private / Public; II. The Making of Surrealism in the US; III. Agents / Artists; IV. Galleries / Dealers; V. American Surrealism), the conference will offer an innovative and lasting contribution to research and scholarship on the history of art in America while focusing specifically on the expansion and reception of Surrealism in the United States. The conference is a key component of the research project “Le surréalisme et l’argent. Galeries, collectionneurs et médiateurs” in cooperation with the labex arts H2H, which explores to what extent the global success of Surrealism in the 20 th cen- tury was due to the roles and factors played by private collectors, museums, exhibitions, art collectors as well as the commercial strategies of artists.

  • “I Have Art and My Life Is Full” Alexander Iolas
    “I have art and my life is full” Alexander Iolas Tommaso Calabro Gallery is pleased to present Casa Iolas. Citofonare Vezzoli (Villa Iolas. Please Dial Vezzoli), an exhibition dedicated to the Greek art gallerist Alexander Iolas (1908–1987) and curated by Francesco Vezzoli (b. 1971), with a setup designed by Filippo Bisagni. The exhibition will be accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue with an essay by Luca Massimo Barbero. Alexander Iolas was one of the most important art dealers of the second half of the twentieth century. One of the first gallerists to create an international network of galleries, he introduced Surrealism to the United States and gave Andy Warhol his first solo show. Although he had been a friend and loyal supporter of some of the most important artists of his time, Iolas was soon forgotten after his death in 1987. His Athens house, Villa Iolas, was doomed to the same fate, its invaluable art collection being stolen and dispersed. Drawing on the artists exhibited at Iolas’ galleries and represented in his collection, Casa Iolas. Citofonare Vezzoli will reimagine the now lost rooms of his legendary villa. Through the eyes of Francesco Vezzoli – an artist who has for long investigated the psychological complexities of fame – the exhibition will foster the rediscovery of a key-figure in the post-war art world. With this project, Tommaso Calabro continues to shed light on some of the most relevant yet often partially forgotten Piazza San Sepolcro, 2 – 20123 Milano - +39 02 49696387 – [email protected] tommasocalabro.com gallerists of the twentieth century.
