Abstract Painting Once Removed
The publication that accompanied this influential exhibition
has become a necessary reference for students and scholars.
The exhibition focuses on new uses of abstraction among a generation
of artists who rejected the heroic, personal and angst
driven
work of the 1950s in favor of oeuvre that partakes of irony,
parody and new technologies. Included in the exhibition
are 21 artists: Polly Apfelbaum, Kevin Appel, Uta Barth, Glenn
Brown,
Ingrid Calame, Fandra Chang, Mark D. Cole, Sally Elesby,
Jeff Elrod, Tad Griffin, Jim Hodges, Callum Innes, Emil Lucas,
Fabian
Marcaccio, Beatriz Milhazes, Takashi Murakami, Aaron Parazette,
Richard Patterson, Monique Prieto, Scott Richter, and Pae
White. Includes essays by Dana Friis-Hansen, David Pagel, Raphael
Rubenstein
and Peter Schjeldahl, documentation on the artists’ careers.
1998. 112 pages. 20 color, 53 black-and-white reproductions.

The catalogue accompanied a precedent-setting exhibition
of 43 artists' work, including: Laurie Andersen, John Baldessari,
Robert Cumming, Vernon Fisher, Duane Michals and William
Wiley who, during the 1970s, led a new interest in including

story telling. Includes essays by Mark Freidus, Paul Schimmel

Arbitrary Order: Paintings by
Pat Steir
Published to accompany an early survey of the work of New
York artist Pat Steir, the book covers the period from
her earliest mature work in 1971 through the major triptychs
of the early 1980s. Steir, an artist often out of step
with current critical fashion, has created a significant
body of theory-based work that is nonetheless a glorious
feast for the eye. One of a generation of women who first
came to public attention at a time when women artists were
less likely to achieve public or critical acclaim than
their male counterparts, she always worked in distinct
series and has produced a number of iconic works of art
that have influenced her peers as well as younger painters.
Includes essays by Ted Castle and Marti Mayo; documentation
on the artist’s career.
1983. 56 pages, 8 color, 16 black-and-white reproductions.
