What every catalogue raisonne should look like.,
By
This review is from: Barnett Newman: A Catalogue Raisonne (Hardcover)
The most surprising thing about Newman's output is how non-prolific he was,118 works on canvas in 25 years.Every painting is reproduced in superb color.The only detriment is that half a dozen of his large horizontal paintings are spread across the centrespread,spoiling the composition.Using fold out pages would have been more useful.It also includes his drawings,graphics and sculpture,comprising of 329 works in all.No text accompanies the reproductions,letting the work stand on it's own.If you admire Newman's work,buy this magnificent book.It is one of finest catalogue raisonne ever produced.

The next best thing to owning an actual Newman,
By Claude Reich (Florianopolis, Brazil and Paris, France) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Barnett Newman: A Catalogue Raisonne (Hardcover)
This is a tour de force of an art book. The entire output of the artist is reproduced in full color, with a complete provenance listing including the current owner (when known). The book also starts with two brilliant essays by Richard Schiff (on the artist's ideas on art, on his attitude towards modern art movements, on the influence of the past on his art) and by Carol Mancusi-Ungaro (more centered on the artist's technique and creative process). One of the most sumptuous and best informed artbooks I own.
