[Giovanni García-Fenech · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fascinating interviews with a dozen abstract painters from the 1980s (many of whom are also featured in Raphael Rubinstein's Reinventing Abstraction exhibition catalog). This book is nearly impossible to find, but the author has kindly shared the introduction and most of the interviews on his website.
