Description: New York, American Federation of Arts / Yale University Press, 2007. Hardcover. Yellow boards, blue-green-yellow dust jacket, 127 pp. BW & color illus. There appears to be no museum stamps or dampstaining to interior. A nice copy. Photo is of a previous copy in our collection. Issued in conjunction with a series of 2007-2008 exhibitions. "Color Field painting, which emerged in the United States in the 1950s, is based on radiant, uninflected hues. Exemplified by the work of Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, and Frank Stella, among others, these stunningly beautiful and impressively scaled paintings constitute one of the crowning achievements of postwar American abstract art. [This book] offers a long-overdue reevaluation of this important aspect of American abstract painting." (dj) With an essay by Carl Betz and an introduction by Karen Wilkin.
