2005 WRITERS NOTES BOOK AWARD, April 19, 2005
“Herskovic overviews American abstract expressionism with this hefty volume of plates. Beyond the names you’ll immediately recognize (Pollack, DeKooning, Gorky, etc.) this alphabetically arranged set takes a fair and complete look, including commentary from the artists…. We like Kline’s ideas on size and space and also when DeKooning says, “spiritually I am wherever my spirit allows me to be.” American Abstract should be a fixture in libraries and the homes of the lovers of the form.”

American Abstract and Figurative Expressionism: Style is Timely Art is Timeless
An Illustrated Survey with Artists’ Statement, Artwork and Biographies.
CHOICE CURRENT REVIEWS FOR ACADEMIC
LIBRARIES, January 10, 2010
Readers’ opinion: “Highly recommended. Libraries supporting both studio
and art history programs at the lower undergraduate and
above; general readers.” ~ CHOICE
Readers’ opinion:
It is an important contribution to the study of Abstract
Expressionism. 58 painters and sculptors are featured. Each
of these artists have 2 works shown (full page) one abstract
and one figurative work and an artist’s statement. The
reproductions are excellent. There is also a Bio, and a
listing of solo exhibitions and group exhibitions for each of
these artists. An amazing amount of research and love went
into this new production of the New York and Californian
Schools abstract and figurative expressionism. You can see
that these schools were actually a bonafide community of
artists. This 254 page book was sumptuously printed and
has a 12 x 9 1/2 inch format. The book has a black cloth
binding and a handsome dust jacket with ALL the names of
the listed artists. This platinum dust-jacket has black and red
lettering which pops-out and is a stunning tribute to the
artists.
