Reviews
Newman has always been the black sheep of the American abstract artists, big on theory, but not as popular or well known as Pollack or Rothko, in fact somewhat obscure. That his Black Fire I sold for $84.2 million at Christie's contemporary art sale recently forces us to rethink his role in the development of this art form and recognize him as an inspiring force. This book is certainly topical. It is very well written, at times biographical but mostly analytical, a collection of eleven essays that are easy, even fun to read. It is a shame that all the illustrations are black and white, but for the price the book is a bargain. Highly recommended.
