Comment on New Book on the Legendary Peter Selz by Paul Karlstrom

Paul Karlstrom — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 02:35:03 +0000

As the author of this book, I’m pleased to read your attentive and insightful account. Your appreciation of Selz and his story is what I was seeking. Actually though, despite your comment, one does learn a lot about the wives he felt were more than mere mistakes (yes, that’s in the book). Thailia, his first wife and mother of their two daughters even speaks to us courtesy of taped dialogues from the mid 1990s shared by, Gabrielle, the younger daughter. Peter and Thalia agreed to meet twice, in NYC and then in Berkeley, and attempt to understand what went wrong for them. She was inclined to blame it on MoMA. His present marriage to fifth wife Carole has over the past three decades enabled Selz to continue his impressive work with limited domestic duties and concerns. In March we celebrated with Peter his 93rd bithday. He has yet another innovative exhibition opening soon at Meridian Gallery in San Franciso. Organized with fellow Meridian board member, Sue Kubly, the show is entitled “The Painted Word” and it features painting and other works of art by mainly Beat era poets (April 28-June 9). As his biographer, I am still trying to find the source of the creative life force that energizes him. I will need to tap into that soon. The rest of us should be so fortunate. Thank you. PJK

As usual, interesting and informative. I just wish I could zoom into the photos, they are so small it’s hard, at least for me, to see what is going on and get the impact.

It was good to see this posting and I enjoyed the interview very much. Roland has always been so eloquent and specific about art–his own and others’. A great example of an artist doing vital work in his eighties. An inspiration.

I have (7) H. Burkhardt prints from the early 70′s. My father must have obtained them when he was Head of the Art Department at Cal State Northridge from 1969 to 1971. We greatly enjoy them.
