About the Book
New York artist Barry Sigel's (1943-2017) career monograph with essay by art historian Joy Sperling and foreward by artist Jane Gilmor. Over the course of his life, "Barry Sigel created a body of powerful, startling, courageous, and memorable paintings, drawings, and collages. His vision of the city, its people, and his life within it was more deeply comprehending, more trenchant and, although unarticulated, more complexly philosophical than he ever really knew. Barry Sigel, like his collages, moved through the world and around the streets in crazy, tangled, powerfully significant, and unforgettable ways." Joy Sperling. Sigel taught at NYC's Fashion Institute of Technology and lived in Manhattan's Westbeth Artist Housing.
