As the Mossad agent who hunted and captured the infamous Nazi war criminal Adolph Eichmann, Peter Z. Malkin (1927-2005) came to be a well-known figure when his part was made public many years later.
During his long career as an agent, he drew on personal experience to produce a riveting body of paintings centered on the events and people of these years, as well as his private impressions and memories. Giving voice to one who was by necessity voiceless during much of his life, these images go far in expressing this artist's unique talent and humanistic vision.
The new book, "Memories Through Time", is a retrospective compilation of paintings produced in the period 1961-2004, both during his years as a covert operative, and afterward. The paintings are grouped by country, with additional text including the artist's poems and notes. 144 pages, with 97 images. The Perry Fine Art gallery will be privileged to release this book and exhibit original works by Peter Z. Malkin at the Artexpo New York, March 2nd - 6th.
