Abstract Expressionism - And Beyond

This lavishly illustrated publication shows outstanding works of postwar American art prior to the opening of the Museum Reinhard Ernst in Wiesbaden. From Josef Albers via Helen Frankenthaler to Andy Warhol and Julian Schnabel, they illustrate the impressive variety of abstract positions on the other side of the Atlantic. The multifaceted wealth of some 70 years of American abstraction offers a glimpse of influential individual works and groups of artists like the New York School and the Washington Color School. The expressive interplay of forms confronts rigorous geometric compositions; picturesque works enter into a dialogue with sculptural objects. Despite their diversity, the 110 works by 45 artists emphasise above all a great delight in colour.Artists:Josef Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Norman Bluhm, David Budd, John Chamberlain, Oscar Chelimsky, Gene Davis, Richard Diebenkorn, Friedel Dzubas, Sam Francis, Ruth Francken, Helen Frankenthaler, Adolph Gottlieb, Peter Halley, Hans Hofmann, Paul Jenkins, Franz Kline, John Franklin Koenig, Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, John Levee, Morris Louis, Robert Mangold, Conrad Marca-Relli, Brice Marden, Joseph Marioni, Ed Moses, Robert Motherwell, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Jackson Pollock, Larry Poons, Robert Rauschenberg, Julian Schnabel, John Seery, Richard Serra, Theodoros Stamos, Frank Stella, Walasse Ting, Mark Tobey, Esteban Vicente, Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann, Frank Lloyd Wright, Kenneth Victor Young
