Literature Glueck, Grace. Art: A Show that Pairs Mondrain [sic] and Brancusi, The New York Times, 12 March 1982. In Grace Glueck's New York Times review, Art: A Show that Pairs Mondrain [sic] and Brancusi, of the artist's show Cats held at Grace Borgenicht Gallery, New York in 1982, she writes: 'Cats is the title of Elbert Weinberg's show - not to be confused with the Broadway production of the same name - and it's a subject he has by the tail. In bronze and terra cotta, he takes a wildly various view of the species, leaping from style to style with almost feline facility...'Zeke, the Flying Blue Cat,' a bronze bombshell patinaed in blue; whose machinelike curves, angles and corners put one in mind of Duchamp-Villon's 'Large Horse...'
