Richard Diebenkorn: Abstractions on Paper
Edited by Bart Schneider

This outstanding selection of abstract works on paper by California painter Richard Diebenkorn (1922–1993) draws from three distinct periods of his work: the early experiments (1949–1955), which took him from Sausalito to Albuquerque, Urbana, and Berkeley; the celebrated Ocean Park period (1967–1988); and the final years in Healdsburg, California (1988–1992). The majority of the 88 images reproduced in this volume, are previously unpublished and available here for the first time.

“I can never accomplish what I want—only what I would have wanted had I thought of it beforehand.”

-Richard Diebenkorn
