R.H. Quaytman: Spine

by R.H. Quaytman

A deep, comprehensive book brings together R.H. Quaytman's paintings produced since 2001, the year the artist began conceiving and organizing her output in what she calls ''Chapters.'' Quaytman paints on easel-size plywood panels, which are then silkscreened with photos or other images derived from historical, personal or scientific sources. Germany's Neuberger Museum brings together all 20 Chapters for the first time, ending with Spine, the latest series. Conceived and written by the New York-based artist herself, the book is more than 400 pages long and presents a full decade of work. An explanation of Quaytman's systematic pictorial practice is printed on the book's unfolding dust jacket. Quaytman's work is part of many prestigious collections including MoMA NY and MCA Boston.

I have often been confounded by the work of RHQ, this is a clear collection of work with honest admissions from the artist as to her practice, origin of her ideas, material investigations. A very revealing book both in the images/design but also with the brief intros to each body or work/exhibition from the artist.
