RICHARD DIEBENKORN

The two-volume definitive resource of prints by postwar American artist Richard Diebenkorn While he is renowned for a painting practice that spanned abstract and representational works, Richard Diebenkorn (1922–1993) also worked simultaneously in other media. Throughout his fifty-year career he actively pursued printmaking, achieving unparalleled mastery of the medium. For the artist, printmaking both nourished his efforts in painting and provided a separate path for exploring alternate materials and techniques. Richard Diebenkorn: The Catalogue Raisonne´ of Prints is a comprehensive resource of the artist’s prints, documenting his entire output across lithography, monotype, woodcut, drypoint, and etching. This landmark publication’s two volumes examine Diebenkorn’s prints chronologically at workshops including Crown Point Press, Gemini G.E.L., Tamarind Lithography Workshop, and several smaller residencies. The first volume examines the history and role of printmaking in the artist’s practice and features an illustrated chronology, biographies of his printmaking collaborators, and an exhibition history. The second volume illustrates and thoroughly documents the artist’s more than four hundred prints. Together, these volumes offer a definitive resource on one of the most prolific printmakers of the postwar period. Published in association with the Richard Diebenkorn Foundation
