Barnett Newman

Vintage hardback monograph on the life and work of American painter Barnett Newman. By Harold Rosenberg, published by Harry N. Abrams in 1978. First edition, 260 pages.

“This richly illustrated volume presents nearly all of Newman’s paintings—alongside drawings, watercolors, etchings, lithographs, and architectural sketches—many reproduced in color for the first time. With 270 illustrations, including 131 in full color and 5 foldouts, the book traces the arc of Newman’s groundbreaking practice, from his 1948 breakthrough Onement I to his late spiritual works. Rosenberg’s critical essay examines the metaphysical depth and philosophical rigor of Newman’s vision, situating him as a defining voice in postwar American abstraction. A vital resource for collectors, scholars, and admirers of Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism.”
