Hardcover, [12…8]pp, colour and B&W full-page reproductions of drawings. This book was published to accompany an exhibition held at the Drawing Center in New York City in 1999. The catalog highlights drawings in the collections of major contemporary artists: Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Helen Frankenthaler, Roger Brown, Eric Fischl, Howard Hodgkin, Alex Katz, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, Helen Marden and Brice Marden, Elizabeth Murray, Ellen Phelan and Joel Shapiro, Ed Ruscha, Julian Schnabel, Terry Winters, and Georg Baselitz. Compiled by Ann Philbin (former director of the Drawing Center) and Jack Shear, this fascinating book collects an unusually broad array of Western and non-Western traditional and outsider art. There is also an excellent critical essay by Museum of Modern Art curator Bill Storr about the relationship of these drawings to their owners, explaining how an artist's collection may influence his or her style or express support for peers and "aesthetic communities." The book is illustrated with beautiful, full-page color reproductions and contains a complete checklist of the drawings in the exhibition. (2.5 JM LVR 205/a1 Size: 4to - over 9¾ - 12" Tall.
