Ryman, Robert ; Dieter Schwarz — Robert Ryman : Drawings

New York, NY, PACE, 2018. Hardcover. Silver dustjacket over black, cloth-bound boards with silver lettering on cover and spine. (6) 7-128 pp. features many color and b+w illustrations. Bringing together over 50 drawings from private collections as well as museums, including The Art Institute of Chicago, The Dia Art Foundation, and The Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition spans the broad scope Ryman's career -- from his earliest experimentations with drawing in the 1960s to the last drawing he made in 2000. While one of the most important artists of the postwar period and a pioneering figure within the field of abstract painting, Ryman's drawings, and their profound significance within his practice, have never been examined before in a focused exhibition. Over half of the works in 'Robert Ryman: Drawings' will make their public premiere in this exhibition, and many others have not been on view publicly in decades, such as 'The Watermark Series (1968)'.
