Hardcover. Condition: New. Richard Anuszkiewicz is now considered America's 'foremost colourist and geometric abstractionist'. In this lavishly illustrated catalogue, David Madden and Nicholas Spike document the chronology, series, provenance, publications and exhibitions of the artist's more than 1,000 paintings and sculptures in museums and private collections. Prepared in collaboration with Richard and Sally Anuszkiewicz and using the artist's personal archive, this comprehensive book is a fundamental resource on this major artistic personality and on post-war geometric abstraction in general. Among the artists referenced are Josef Albers, Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella and Sol Lewitt. In the introductory essay, John T.
