A much-revered figure in the art world, Robert Ryman has, over six decades, continuously and methodically experimented with the different possibilities inherent within a painting - abolishing colour in order to focus on material, brushstroke, support, and scale. This, the only comprehensive monograph covering his career to date, places his famous square 'white' paintings with lesser-known but increasingly exhibited works, in order to show that he is not a reductionist, but in fact a restless experimenter.
- Vittorio Colaizzi is assistant professor of art history at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA. In 2009, he co-edited with Karsten Schubert an anthology of critical writings on Robert Ryman. Colaizzi has curated exhibitions in New York; Winona, Minnesota; and Norfolk, Virginia.
Robert Ryman is represented by the Greenwich Collection, Ltd. and Pace Gallery.
Key Selling Points - The only comprehensive career retrospective of Ryman, one of the most important living artists and a pioneer of abstract, minimalist, and conceptual art.
- Ryman ranks fifth in artnet's Top 10 Most Expensive Living American Artists at Auction 2016 and his highly sought-after paintings fetch the highest prices at auction and feature in major public collections throughout the world.
- Includes all of his major works and places his famous square 'white' paintings in the context of lesser- known works from his earliest, sometimes brightly coloured, paintings up to the establishment of his signature approach -.
A momentous publication for fans of Ryman's work, critics, curators, collectors, artists, dealers, students, and all those interested in contemporary art.
