Lucas Samaras: Pastels & Bronzes

Published on the occasion of the 1982 exhibition at Pace Gallery in New York, Richard Gray Gallery in Chicago, and the Mayor Gallery in London, Samaras: Pastels and Bronzes presents a selection of pastel self-portraits and figurative bronze sculptures created by Lucas Samaras in 1981. An essay by Donald B. Kuspit delves into this expressive chapter of the artist’s oeuvre, whereby he is “making of his own demonic impulses—to give birth to art objects—a divided spiritual self, a truly modern self.”
