Drawings of Choice from a New York Collection

by Josef Helfenstein

Though the collector is anonymous, this catalog of some 100 works shows him (he is referred to as such in the introduction) to be quite a connoisseur of post-war American drawings. The 40 or so artists represented include Richard Serra, Agnes Martin, Bruce Nauman, Brice Marden, Sol LeWitt, Ellsworth Kelly, Jasper Johns, Anne Chu, Trisha Brown, Dan Flavin, and Carole Seborovski. Each drawing is nicely reproduced and is accompanied by an elucidative description (generally around 300 to 500 words). All were featured in a September 2002 exhibition at the Krannert Art Museum at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Distributed by the University of Washington Press. Annotation c.
