It features paintings and drawings dating back to the 1990s, alongside a suite of brand new works.Alongside full colour illustrations, this catalogue features an essay by American writer and curator, Andrianna Campbell.Produced in a unique size, identical to the scale of Whitney's smallest 12 inch square paintings, In the Color investigates his profound relationship to colour and its spatial effects throughout his career.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Stanley Whitney: In the Color at Lisson Gallery, New York (3 November - 21 December 2018).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49732566384913,"sku":"NGR9780947830724","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51084686557457,"sku":"NIN9780947830724","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0947830723.jpg?v=1751456021"},{"product_id":"stanley-whitney-book-stanley-whitney-9781887457248","title":"Stanley Whitney","description":"Stanley Whitney's (born 1946) energetic parcels of colour, ever-shifting grids and spatial intensity have been consolidated by over three decades of painting in Italy. It could not be more fitting, then, that Whitney opens an exhibition in the Venice Biennale 2022.Bringing together for the first time his acclaimed Italian Paintings, this publication, printed on the occasion of the artist's presentation during the 2022 Venice Biennale, compiles works exclusively created in Italy and charts the evolution of his stacked, multihued compositions. It includes works dating to the early 1990s and Whitney's formative period in Rome, where he would live for five years, to more recent paintings undertaken over summers spent in his studio near Parma.Alongside a selection of the Italian Paintings, the publication includes installation photography from the exhibition, pages from Whitney's sketchbooks and essays by the exhibition's cocurators, Vincenzo de Bellis and Cathleen Chaffee.Published by Buffalo AKG Art Museum.We are supplying this book via Lisson Gallery.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745481236753,"sku":"NGR9781887457248","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51055317385489,"sku":"NIN9781887457248","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1887457240.jpg?v=1750803343"},{"product_id":"stanley-whitney-how-high-the-moon-book-stanley-whitney-9781636811048","title":"Stanley Whitney: How High the Moon","description":"The first in-depth survey of Whitney’s endless experimentation with color  Published with Buffalo AKG Art Museum.  The esteemed American painter Stanley Whitney has, for 50 years, created joyful, immersive abstractions characterized by a bold, experimental palette and unique rhythm. Over the last 20 years, he has structured his paintings as loose grids: a consistent framework that frees him to work through seemingly infinite painterly variations and allows viewers to focus not on each painting’s subject, but rather on our own response to color. These large-scale paintings are joined by improvisatory small paintings; drawings and prints, which constitute their own practice for Whitney; and the artist’s sketchbooks, which offer a view into Whitney’s engagement with the written word and politics. This traveling North American exhibition is Whitney’s first museum survey, presenting 170 paintings and works on paper spanning from the 1970s to the present day. The catalog includes an introduction by exhibition organizer Cathleen Chaffee, scholarly explorations of the artist’s paintings and works on paper, a chronology and illustrations of all works in the exhibition. Stanley Whitney was born in 1946 near Philadelphia. By the early 1970s, following studies with Philip Guston and Robert Reed, and influenced by artists including Jack Whitten, Josef Albers and Piet Mondrian, he had come to see “endless possibilities” in abstraction. Over the past five decades, he has honed a unique body of densely gridded, but endlessly variable, abstract paintings, as well as drawings and prints, reflecting his interests in art, architecture, textiles and music.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49802552475921,"sku":"NGR9781636811048","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50235923464465,"sku":"CIN1636811043G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041819230481,"sku":"NIN9781636811048","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52332836258065,"sku":"NLS9781636811048","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1636811043.jpg?v=1751343259"},{"product_id":"stanley-whitney-book-stanley-whitney-9780947830625","title":"Stanley Whitney","description":"Stanley Whitney has been exploring the formal possibilities of colour within ever-shifting grids of multi-hued blocks and all-over fields of gestural marks and passages, since the mid-1970s.His exhibition at Lisson Gallery, New York (8 September - 21 October 2017) is the first major presentation of his drawings, highlighting important works from 1989 to the present.Whitney's works on paper are a critical component of his practice, in which he develops his spatial structure and experiments with the placement of color.
