Lélia Mordoch Gallery Celebrates 20 Years with Retrospective Exhibitions and Catalogue

In February 2010, Galerie Lélia Mordoch marked its twentieth anniversary with retrospective exhibitions in Saint-Germain-des-Prés galleries. A new space opened in Miami, and a catalogue titled "L'Angoisse est-elle soluble dans l'art ?" was published. The catalogue includes testimonies, letters, an abécédaire, amateur photographs, short monographs, and a retrospective of exhibitions. The first part traces the gallery's activity and the gallerist's career since 1989, celebrating Lélia Mordoch's strong personality through letters and testimonies. The abécédaire, created by Mordoch herself, reflects her tastes and aspirations. While this section provides context for uninformed readers, its fantasmagorical tone may reduce clarity. The second part comprises short monographs of all artists exhibited since the gallery's opening, written by Mordoch at various times. These monographs are organized into chapters and reflect the gallery's eclecticism, uniting several generations of abstract contemporary artists around shared concerns of sign, space, and time. The monographs are accompanied by numerous high-quality reproductions. The catalogue aims to reach a broader audience of art enthusiasts.
