Description
This first comprehensive monograph on Deborah Remington (1930 2010) examines her extraordinary career through paintings, drawings, and archival documents. An enthusiastic participant in the Bay Area s Beat scene in the early 1950s and a graduate of the prestigious and innovative California School of Fine Arts (later San Francisco Art Institute), where teachers included David Park, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still, Remington made her way to New York in 1965, where she joined Bykert Gallery and sold a large-scale painting to the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1968. Luminous and saturated, her hard-edged abstractions of the 1960s and 70s are well known; yet the more gestural expressionist work from the last twenty-five years of her life is not as familiar to art world audiences. She is an artist prime for rediscovery. This ambitious and revelatory book includes essays by the artist Carroll Dunham, prominent scholars, and an illuminating interview with Paul Schimmel. Remington s own writings and correspondence reveal her inner thoughts, enhancing our understanding of the art world during her time.
