historical notes
|
Leo Castelli, founder of Leo Castelli Gallery, began in the art market in full force in 1957, recognizing that important cultural changes were occurring in America and that a new form of art would derive from Abstract Expressionism which was in its heyday.
The first two artists he signed up were Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, both transitional figures in the move from Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art. Castelli became known as one of the greatest salesmen in the art market and an avid supporter of contemporary art movements. Born Sept. 4, 1907, in Trieste, Italy. Died Aug. 21, 1999, at age 91.
