January 10, 2010

 "Highly recommended. Libraries supporting both studio       
 and art history programs at the lower undergraduate and
 above; general readers." ~ CHOICE
 

 Readers’ opinion:
 
It is an important contribution to the study of Abstract
 Expressionism. 58 painters and sculptors are featured. Each
 of these artists have 2 works shown (full page) one abstract
 and one figurative work and an artist's statement. The
 reproductions are excellent. There is also a Bio, and a
 listing of solo exhibitions and group exhibitions for each of
 these artists. An amazing amount of research and love went
 into this new production of the New York and Californian
 Schools abstract and figurative expressionism. You can see
 that these schools were actually a bonafide community of
 artists. This 254 page book was sumptuously printed and
 has a 12 x 9 1/2 inch format. The book has a black cloth
 binding and a handsome dust jacket with ALL the names of
 the listed artists. This platinum dust-jacket has black and red
 lettering which pops-out and is a stunning tribute to the
 artists.

American Abstract Expressionism of the 1950s
An Illustrated Survey
with Artists' Statements, Artwork and  Biographies.

OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE ~ CHOICE, 2003
"This excellent publication builds on the earlier [above] publication. It has broadened the scope to include artists from throughout the US, rectified...omission of African American artists... and concentrated on 88 artists...excellent layout and superb photographs. Highly recommended"~ CHOICE,
CURRENT REVIEWS FOR ACADEMIC LIBRARIES July/August 2003.

2005 WRITERS NOTES BOOK AWARD, April 19, 2005
"Herskovic overviews American abstract expressionism with this hefty volume of plates. Beyond the names you'll immediately recognize (Pollack, DeKooning, Gorky, etc.) this alphabetically arranged set takes a fair and complete look, including commentary from the artists.... We like Kline's ideas on size and space and also when DeKooning says, "spiritually I am wherever my spirit allows me to be." American Abstract should be a fixture in libraries and the homes of the lovers of the form
."

"Researchers will seek out this well designed selection."
~Library Journal August 2003.
