Robert Motherwell, who died in 1991, was the youngest member of the
first wave of Abstract Expressionists known as the New York School
(a phrase he coined), which also included Jackson Pollock, Mark
Rothko, Willem de Kooning and Barnett Newman. An articulate writer,
Motherwell was pegged early on as the intellectual of the group.
"Robert Motherwell: Open" is the first examination of the painter's
"Open" series, which preoccupied him from 1967 until the last years
of his life. Pared down and minimal, these paintings differ greatly
from his more dynamic and monumental "Elegies" series, for which he
is perhaps best known. Containing many previously unpublished
paintings as well as works in public collections, this
monograph--the most comprehensive and best-illustrated book on
Motherwell currently in print--introduces a series of texts by
critics and art historians John Yau, Robert Hobbs, Matthew
Collings, Donald Kuspit, Robert Mattison, Mel Gooding and Saul
Ostrow.
