A comprehensive account of the work of Armenian-American painter Arshile Gorky, straddling the worlds of Europe and America, surrealism and abstract expressionism. Arshile Gorky, 1904-1948 accompanies the first Italian museum survey on the career of a leading American painter of Armenian origin.

Reproducing over eighty paintings and works on paper from the exhibition at the Galleria Internazionale d'Arte Moderna di Ca' Pesaro in Venice, this book also features three essays on the artist and the American Abstract Expressionist movement. Texts feature from the exhibition's curators Gabriella Belli and Edith Devaney as well as Saskia Spender, the painter's granddaughter and president of the Arshile Gorky Foundation.
