Storr, Robert; Danto, Arthur C; Princenthal, Nancy; Shiff, Richard; Mangold, Robert — Robert Mangold

London / New York, Phaidon, 2004. Softcover. Square quarto. Softcover. Yellow wraps with yellow and black titles. 335 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 25 cm. Robert Mangold (b.1937) created large, gently curving paintings that are among the most majestically beautiful abstract works of the last 40 years. This is the first comprehensive assessment of Mangold's contribution to painting, with essays by some of the world's most distinguished writers on contemporary art. This book shows his subtle colours and soft, hand-drawn geometries that set his creations apart from the sober austerity of minimalism. This is a uniquely designed book that reflects the singularity of Mangold's work, which is collected and exhibited internationally. VG. Some sunning to spine and light shelf wear.
