Review Quotes: A substantive monograph...providing the authoritative reference on the abstract artist's achievements across six decades. Replete with lavish color illustrations, detailed exhibition histories and bibliographies, [this book] is carried by a well-researched text by Catherine Lampert presented across six chronological chapters that weaves together biographical and artistic benchmarks with contemporaneous criticism.-- "The Brooklyn Rail" (12/1/2025 12:00:00 AM)
