Category: Art-America -U.S. & Canada

167 pages. This is a catalogue built around dozens of letters between the artist and her conservator and about 40 paintings, which are beautifully reproduced on coated paper. If you've ever wondered about color and its changing qualities, or about the wear-and-tear on paintings going on exhibition, or if you'd like an inside look at an artist's own reflection on her methods of applying paint, this is a good choice. A lavish work.
