Summary:


This publication documents the 1958 Guggenheim International Award,
the second installment of a prize established in 1956 "to stimulate
interest in contemporary art and in this way encourage the work of
artists throughout the world." An international jury awarded $10,000 to a
chosen artist; additional awards were conferred to artists by
nationality. The winner of the 1958 International Award was Spanish
artist Joan
Miró, for Day and Night, a ceramic mural designed for the UNESCO
building in Paris. The catalogue includes a color foldout reproduction
of the mural's component Night and a checklist of participating artists.
