An exclusive look at the late work of one of the most influential and enigmatic painters, whose late-career paintings are virtually unknown to the public and many are published here for the first time.\nClyfford Still (1904-1980) is a pioneer of Abstract Expressionism, along with Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and Willem de Kooning. This revelatory book, accompanying a groundbreaking exhibition, investigates Clyfford Still's late work, both in painting and in drawing, made after his move to rural Maryland in 1961. This marks a particularly fertile period for Still; he made over 375 works on canvas and a staggering 1,100 works on paper in Maryland before his death in 1980 at the age of 75. Given Still's especially reclusive posture later in life and the fact that none of the artworks in Still's estate were exhibited or made available to anyone before the opening of the Clyfford Still Museum in 2011, a full-scale presentation of these forty paintings and thirty works on paper is especially meaningful.\nIn addition to essays by Dean Sobel and David Anfam, the artists Alex Katz and Dorothea Rockburne contribute texts on the notion of "late work."

Identity crisis: Self-portraiture at the end of the century

The catalogue for an exhibition that is the first major examination of the "second half" of Vito Acconci's career, a period characterized by works that are, in their own fashion, every bit as startling, provocative, and influential as those of his "classic" period of the 1960s and 1970s

The Clyfford Still Museum in Denver was created as a home for the artistic vision of American painter Clyfford Still (1904–1980), who helped spearhead the Abstract Expressionist movement. Though acknowledged as one of the country’s most significant twentieth-century artists, his work has long been difficult to access, and much of it has never been publicly exhibited. Opening its doors to the public in November 2011, the two-story museum--one of the most comprehensive single-artist museums in the world--houses the vast majority of Still’s creative output: 2,400 paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures spanning over 60 years. Designed by the leading architectural practice Allied Works and its founder, Brad Cloepfil, the museum draws inspiration from the work of Still and from its monumental surroundings: an intersection of prairie and mountains within an urban district of major cultural buildings, vacant lots, historic housing and new development. The building looks to the earth as a source of silence and evocation of the elemental forces that the artist explored in his painting. This publication presents the initial conception of the museum to its ultimate realization as what The New Republic has declared to be “everything a museum goer could hope for.” A rich collection of stories, artifacts, documents and conversations trace the evolution of the building and Allied Works’ unique creative process, with new essays and photographs that examine its particular significance within contemporary architectural discourse.
