Yet while Whitney has explored the formal possibilities of color within ever-shifting grids of multi-hued blocks and all-over gestural fields since the mid-1970s, the evolution of the artist's career has never been put into context. Over the past fifty years, Whitney has drawn inspiration from sources such as jazz, poetry, American quilts, and the history of art and architecture to develop a body of work that rewards extended looking and grants primacy to color. This catalogue, the most comprehensive on Whitney's work ever assembled, accompanies a major traveling retrospective-the artist's first-organized by the Buffalo AKG Art Museum (formerly the Albright-Knox Art Gallery) that reckons with the entirety of his pioneering career. In contextualizing Whitney's best-known gridded paintings from the past three decades, the book also examines the parallel development of his works on paper in their own right; the artist's relationship with the written word and the role of language in his sketchbooks and paintings; and Whitney's influences as well as his own influence as part of a community of artists |
