Catalogue of an exhibition of Barney Rosset’s photographs of the artist Joan Mitchell, held at James Danziger Gallery, New York, 23 October - 28 November, 1998. Exhibition curated by Richard Milazzo who also provides the introduction, catalogue edited by James Danziger, catalogue designed by Ruth Ansel.
“[…] I worked on an essay about the photographs and letters, and curated an exhibition of the photographs at the James Danziger Gallery, in New York, from October 23 – to November 28, 1998. The show was entitled: Barney & Joan: Barney Rosset’s Photographs of Joan Mitchell . The ‘catalogue’ (really a brochure) published several fragments from the study: “He, the photographer of the exhibition, winds up some fifty years later as one of the preeminent publishers in the 20th century. She, the subject of these photographs, became during the same period of time one of our great American painters. Barney Rosset took over Grove Press in 1951 and went on to publish such writers as Samuel Beckett, William Burroughs, Jean Genet, and Marguerite Duras, and created landmark cases against censorship in the United States for the right to print such books as D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover and Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer; Joan Mitchell became not only a great painter among her generation of Abstract Expressionists in the 1950s, but as a woman had to fight [a male-dominated] system to survive and continue to develop as one of the premiere painters of our times.”” (Richard Milazzo in the Evergreen Review, 2012)
