Invitation to “Fifteen Unknowns: Selected by Artists of the Kootz Gallery” at Kootz Gallery, 1950.
FROM THE ARCHIVE:
In 1950, Kootz Gallery invited three of their represented artists, Adolph Gottlieb among them, to select three works each by then-unknown artists for the exhibition, “Fifteen Unknowns: Selected by Artists of the Kootz Gallery.” Adolph Gottlieb's inclusion of the artist Helen Frankenthaler jumpstarted what would become quite an illustrious and distinguished career for this artist.
