FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

3433 is pleased to announce Uncharted Art History: Van Gogh to Picasso, a solo project by New York based artist Ivaylo Gueorgiev. Through analytical investigation the exhibition reveals a present domain concerning the future of two iconic images:

• Van Gogh’s Irises – Belonged to the artist’s mother until her death in 1907. Sold by her daughter-in-law to Cassirer. In 1908 Paul Cassirer sells it to Robert von Mendelssohn. The painting stays in the von Mendelssohn family until 1935 when Eleonora von Mendelssohn sells it to Paul Rosenberg. In 1942 it is sold to Adele R. Levy who donates it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1960. Fifty-three years pass.

• Pablo Picasso’s Girl Before a Mirror – Purchased by Paul Rosenberg in Paris. Brought
to New York in 1936 and left on consignment at Valentine Gallery. Purchased by Simon
Guggenheim in 1937. Gifted to the Museum of Modern Art NY in 1938. Seventy-five years
pass.

The outcome of these interchanges takes on a multitude of forms to engage a diverse audience and allow for alternative perspectives to emerge.
