« The majority of the illustrations in Shiff’s essay are of works by European and American artists that Newman may personally have been familiar with. Also included is a selection of installation views and studio shots that cast interesting light on the artist and his practice. » « The catalogue raisonne, compiled by independent scholar Heidi Colsman-Freyberger, includes a color reproduction of each of Newman’s works, along with its provenance, its exhibition history, and its publication history. This information was gathered from a multitude of sources, including the documentation assembled by the artist’s wife over a period of more than fifty years and now archived at The Barnett Newman Foundation, New York. »–BOOK JACKET.
