"Van Doren Waxter is pleased to announce the retrospective Richard Diebenkorn: Works on Paper 1946-1992 at its 1907 historical townhouse at 23 East 73rd Street from March 3 to April 23, 2022. The exhibition has been organized with the Richard Diebenkorn Foundation and includes rarely seen material from every period of the singular and distinguished American artist's body of work. The sheets on view evince the artist's love of mark marking and use of paper as a medium. The retrospective takes place during the artist's (b. April 22, 1922) centennial celebration #Diebenkorn100, a year-long series of nationwide museum installations and digital activities spanning his figurative and landscape art to his epic cycle of abstraction, the Ocean Park series. The retrospective is accompanied by a handsome exhibition catalogue with full color reproductions. The show presents the artist's early experiments with materials he used throughout his career, such as watercolor, crayon, and collage beginning with works like Untitled (1946), a bright, luminous object that reveals the influence of Arshile Gorky, Joan Miró, and William Baziotes, and an angular, spiky abstraction (also 1946) that invokes Surrealism and the fractured planes of Cubism. A somber 1964 gouache and charcoal drawing made after the artist's father passed away and during a period in which he worked mostly on paper producing dark and dense still lifes, depicts a striped, articulated pillow and low divan in the artist's Berkeley Hills studio. The work belongs to a group of "some of the most beloved of the family," the artist's daughter Gretchen Diebenkorn Grant writes in a recent monograph (Rizzoli, 2019) that features "inanimate objects that my father looked at and handled on a daily basis at home and in his studio" such as his glasses, scissors, a magnifying glass, knives, forks, and spoons. Diebenkorn produced the largest number of works on paper during his Berkeley years when he worked representationally; the show includes affecting still lifes and black and white nudes. A highly chromatic, jewel-like 1971 crayon and graphite on paper, made the same year the artist first exhibited his Ocean Park works on paper, represents his skill with color and creating illusionistic three-dimensional space on paper and is inscribed in the lower edge to his wife, "For Phyllis with all my love." A 1985 Ocean Park sheet, a glowing collage made with etching, is striking for its sparkling, pastel hued bands and geometric shapes. His paintings on paper from this period are astonishing for their "lightness of touch," Ruth E. Fine asserts in the artist's catalogue raisonne (Yale University Press, 2016) and are "assured and vigorous, yet delicate and graceful in their sensuousness." In 1980, the artist began his Clubs and Spades series of works on paper containing symbols and heraldic imagery that had fascinated him since he was a young person. The show includes a number of works from the series, from an energetic, highly activated gouache on paper (pictured) in which free floating shapes and symbols hover against a creamy substrate (1981) to a vertical sheet (1981) in rich hues of blue, red, and green painted on a slick, glossy technical paper. The presentation includes work from the artist's Healdsburg period and his final yearsDiebenkorn called the view of Mount Saint Helena from the front porch "my Mont Saint-Victoire" or "la Montagne de Cézanne'' after the famous peak Cézanne painted in Aix-en-Provence, France. Jane Livingston, who organized the seminal The Art of Richard Diebenkorn (1997) at the Whitney Museum of American Art, remarks of the period in the artist's catalogue raisonné, "Works created in the Healdsburg yearsreach back constantly to earlier themesand incorporate something new, as wellan elusive quality, something like an unashamed decorativeness and openheartedness." An intricate and complex acrylic, gouache, graphite, and ink on pasted paper (c. 1988, pictured), represents the artist's ability at layering papers to create luminescence. A significantly scaled charcoal (c. 1988), the largest sheet in the show measuring more than three feet tall, depicts with tenderness the interior of the artist's studio, which the artist and his wife had converted the year prior from a garage with clerestory windows to let in the artist's preferred northern light." -- Van Doren Waxter website.

This catalog is the most comprehensive volume on the artist now available. Jane Livingston's extensively researched biographical essay covers Diebenkorn's entire career and concentrates on the artist's inner life and purposes as revealed in his paintings. Ruth Fine deals primarily with the figurative aspect of Diebenkorn's work (1955-67), and John Elderfield concentrates on the Ocean Park period (1967-93). All three authors provide valuable insights based on their personal relationships with the artist and his widow, Phyllis. On both page and canvas, the reader can sense Diebenkorn's complexity and highly self-conscious working methods, as well as his formidable integrity. The Art of Richard Diebenkorn will give readers with an interest in all phases of modernism new thoughts about the relationship between abstraction and representation. Stunningly illustrated, with 192 full-color reproductions, this book is an exhilarating testament to a distinctive American artist. / Jane Livingston is an independent author and curator living in Rappahannock County, Virginia. John Elderfield is Chief Curator-at-Large at The Museum of Modern Art. Ruth Fine is Curator of Modern Prints and Drawings at the National Gallery." - Publisher. Size: 4to.
