5 ...the memory of a particular image is but regret for a particular moment. Marcel Proust In Search of Lost Time This book has been printed in an edition of one hundred copies at the occasion of a survey of sculpture and works on paper by Joseph Zito made during the past thirty years. The frontispiece of the book bears a shape hand- printed by the artist with a woodblock and each book is signed and numbered on the colophon. The shape is a curious one evocative but initially unidentifiable that derives from Inversion a work that was the centerpiece of our sixth solo Zito exhibition titled Tempus Fugit. This large mechanized sculpture has three radial arms that support structures reminiscent of a small childs plane ride in an amusement park. The ghostly carcasses of the planes made of wire mesh and hydrostone rotating very slowly in reverse embody Zitos distillation of a precious childhood memory shared with him by a cousin as beloved as a brother whose death the artist was deeply mourning. Inversion was at the heart of an ensemble of works that addressed the enigma of time past present and future. The work was accompanied by the strains of Henryk Greckis Symphony No. 3 which became the haunting soundtrack of our lives for four months while the work was on view in 2013 and still lingers in memory. Among the thousands of artworks we have presented since opening the gallery in 1988 we treasure this as one of the most moving we have ever shown. Reviewing Joseph Zitos first thirty years in the process of preparing for the exhibition has been illuminating and we are pleased to offer in this publication a more complete overview than is possible in the much more selective survey that constitutes the exhibition.
