Dick Polich tells the story of the man who founded Tallix in 1970 and revolutionized the world of American fine art foundries. As an art fabricator, Polich typically remains behind the scenes. This publication, the catalogue for the exhibition at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, SUNY New Paltz, explores the history and processes of Polich and his foundries Tallix, Polich Art Works, and Polich Tallix, from the 1960s to the present. Contents include an art historical survey by Daniel Belasco, a personal account of the craft of the foundry by Dick Polich, and new statements about working with Polich by artists Rona Pondick, Joel Shapiro, Tom Otterness, Janine Antoni, Martin Puryear, and Jeff Koons. The Dorsky Museum exhibition is the first to examine Dick Polich's influence on contemporary art.
