Luis De Jesus Los Angeles ‘SOMETHING ELSE: The Collages of Nathan Gluck’

SOMETHING ELSE: The Collages of Nathan Gluck presents the first survey exhibition of collages created by Nathan Gluck, who is recognized as Andy Warhol’s pre-Pop commercial art assistant.  Gluck and Warhol met through mutual friends in 1950 and were employed in the same world of design that fueled Warhol’s early reputation.  In 1952, Gluck went to work for Warhol in the top-floor railroad flat on Lexington Avenue that the artist shared with his mother, Julia Warhola.  Over the next dozen years Gluck played an instrumental role in helping to shape and create many of Warhol’s most famous illustrations, ads and designs.  He also assisted Warhol with his early transitional Pop pieces (1960-63), before Warhol established The Factory.
