“One of the big surprises for all of us: no one thinking about Richard Diebenkorn would anticipate that well more than half of the work is black and white, or charcoal and gray, figurative drawings. He just never stopped looking at the world and drawing it.” —Jane Livingston, Co-Editor
Two years ago saw the release of the exhaustive Richard Diebenkorn catalogue raisonné – a project in which Diebenkorn’s widow Phyllis was intimately involved, but that she unfortunately did not survive to see completed. In this rare and special video featuring artworks and archival photography, Livingston, co-editor of Richard Diebenkorn: The Catalogue Raisonné (Yale University Press, 2016), joined by Andrea Liguori, Managing Director of the Richard Diebenkorn Foundation, and Gretchen Diebenkorn Grant and Richard Grant, Executive Director of the foundation, together speak about the four-volume reference of more than 5,000 works illustrated in stunning new color photography and exhaustive documentation.
“A sumptuous, four-volume catalogue raisonné of Diebenkorn’s paintings and works on paper. . . . Here we have our first opportunity to see his career complete, with Diebenkorn’s enormous output of works on paper gathered around his contemporaneous oil paintings. . . . His art, whether representational or abstract, is suffused with an independent, exploratory spirit.” —Jed Perl, New York Review of Books
