Robert Motherwell: the complete prints 1940-1991

the long version

"Robert Motherwell: The Complete Prints 1940-1991 presents for the first time a definitive catalogue raisonne of this aspect of the artist's work, documenting more than 500 editions with all new research, photography, and commentary, and incorporating previously uncatalogued material. In addition, the book includes an essay on Motherwell's printmaking history, an illustrated chronology, a comprehensive bibliography and exhibition history, and a concordance with past catalogues. Supplanting earlier publications as the standard reference on Motherwell's editioned work, this book is an invaluable resource for scholars, collectors, and general enthusiasts of an artist who made an indelible impression on the history of twentieth-century printmaking."--Jacket.
