Catalogue of the survey of Michael Goldberg (1924-2007) shown at University Art Museum, California State University, Long Beach, 9 September to 12 December 2010, covering more than six decades in 31 works from 1949 to 2006. The exhibition received the AICA-USA award for Best Show in a University Gallery, shared with Hood Museum of Art. Goldberg studied with Hans Hofmann, took part in the Ninth Street Show of 1951 and in 1962 took over Mark Rothko's studio at 222 Bowery. He is the "Mike" of Frank O'Hara's poem "Why I Am Not a Painter," written around his 1955 painting Sardines, and Anfam's essay quotes O'Hara's "The Day Lady Died," which also names him. Inside covers and several figures reproduce 1963 photographs by Jerry Schatzberg of Goldberg at work and in his studio, some with Bill Berkson. Includes exhibition checklist, biography and selected bibliography.
