    Philadelphia Art Museum will host a retrospective of renowned artist
    Arshile Gorky, Armenian-born American Abstract Expressionist Painter,
    one of the founders of abstract surrealism movement. The exhibition
    commences October 21, 2009 - January 10, 2010 further to be moved
    to Tate Modern, London where it will be shown from February 10 -
    to May 3, 2010.

    This exhibition surveys Gorky's entire career from early 1920s until
    his death in 1948 and includes around 180 works of art: paintings,
    sculptures, prints and drawings - some them are exhibited for the
    first time.

    "Arshile Gorky is a seminal figure in the movement toward abstraction
    that transformed American art. This comprehensive retrospective is
    the first full-scale survey of Gorky's work in nearly thirty years,
    thus providing a new generation of viewers with the opportunity
    to see this complex, influential, and deeply moving body of work,"
    Philadelphia Art Museum website reads.

    A Retrospective is organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art in
    association with Tate Modern, London and The Museum of Contemporary
    Art, Los Angeles.
