Irma Kurtz arrived in London from New Jersey in the late 1950s. Dismayed by the city's drabness, she quickly moved on to Paris - but returned in 1963, and stayed. Part memoir, part autobiography, this book offers insights into a love affair with London and a portrait of the Age of Aquarius. Kurtz's account of her early career takes in the Central Office of Information, Raymond's Revue Bar, and life at England's first girlie magazine, King, before the post with Nova magazine which set her on the course which led to her prominence as an agony aunt.

After more than thirty years as an expatriate, Irma Kurtz gave in to her growing curiosity about her American roots and set off on a grand adventure to explore 'the most baffling of all places' - by Greyhound bus. Taking only the barest necessitites for travel, she entered the vast network of America's bus routes and a seething, fleeting world of brief encounters and changing landscapes.

Arthur Szyk (pronounced "Shick") was born in Lodz, Poland, in 1894 and died in New Canaan, Connecticut, in 1951. He was considered the greatest miniaturist and painter-illuminator of his era, and the leading political artist in America during World War II. He was internationally recognized and celebrated, and his works of art continue to be exhibited worldwide. This catalogue of institutional holdings of Arthur Szyk's art was created to provide the best jumping off point for those interested in surveying his originals for the purpose of research, scholarship, and curatorial possibilities. 'Arthur Szyk Preserved' illustrates where Szyk's work can be found today. Ultimately, this catalogue recognizes and celebrates the public institutions that serve as vital caretakers of Arthur Szyk's art and legacy. It is hoped that this publication will encourage them to more fully promote public awareness of Szyk's art and the breadth and beauty of his works in multiple and creative ways.
