Published on the occasion of the landmark retrospective exhibition of the same name held at Lisson Gallery New York City in 2018. Presents Stanley Whitney's "In The Color". Beguiling, vivid, and sensuous work that adapts the Mondrian Grid to suit his singular purpose and to stunning, iridescent effect. "An investigation into Stanley Whitney's profound relationship to color and its spatial effects throughout his career. Color inspires and informs the work of New York artist Stanley Whitney, whose paintings explore the many possibilities created by the tessellation and juxtaposition of irregular rectangles in varying shades of strength and subtlety. Within the composition of these adjacent nodes, a structure that fluctuates between freedom and constraint, between endless open fields and controlled boundaries is ultimately a play between complementing and competing areas of color" (Publisher's blurb). Stanley Whitney works at the rigorous, high standard and level of execution that are worthy of comparison with the greatest colorists in the Western tradition: Matisse, on the one hand, and Howard Hodgkin, on the other, to name only two of his great predecessors. Still, while Whitney himself emphasizes his artistic debt and intimate connection to Western painting, it is surely not accidental that his passionate engagement with color - as well as form, that is to say, "in the color", not merely in color - also owes to his African-American heritage, immanently accessible to him as a given strength: His is "lively" art refined and elevated to an exalted, near-pure abstraction. An absolute "must-have" title for Stanley Whitney collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Stanley Whitney. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color plates. One of the most brilliant artists of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0947830723. Signed by Author.…
