Hooray! 'William N. Copley: Selected Writings' is a new release this week!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Edited by Anthony Atlas.⠀⠀ Published by @buchhandlungwaltherfranzkoenig⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ For readers interested in the extraordinary life, work, and artistic milieu of the great American surrealist and proto-pop painter William Nelson Copley (1919-96), this volume will come as a thrilling revelation and a long-awaited peek into the mind of one of 20th-century art’s most influential yet least recognized protagonists.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Though best known for his radical work as a painter—which he pursued under the name CPLY—Copley was also a talented writer and the texts gathered here present his most significant essays, articles and conversations. Among Copley’s reflections on art and artists is “Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dealer,” a vividly humorous account of his brief tenure as a dealer in surrealist art in 1940s Los Angeles. Also included are key interviews and correspondence illuminating Copley’s own practice and a selection of his newspaper articles, originally published in the 1950s and reprinted now for the first time.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Please order from your local independent #bookstorehero — many are reopening or offering curbside pickup! ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ @anthony_atlas #cply #williamncopley #copley⠀⠀ ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CDxCK91JkT2/?igshid=1i5oh9rfnqjmu
