An exclusive look at the late work of one of themost influential and enigmatic painters, whoselate-career paintings are virtually unknown tothe public and many are published here for thefirst time.Clyfford Still (1904 1980) is a pioneer of AbstractExpressionism, along with Mark Rothko, JacksonPollock, Lee Krasner, and Willem de Kooning. Thisrevelatory book, accompanying a groundbreakingexhibition, investigates Clyfford Still's late work, bothin painting and in drawing, made after his move torural Maryland in 1961. This marks a particularlyfertile period for Still; he made over 375 works oncanvas and a staggering 1,100 works on paper inMaryland before his death in 1980 at the age of 75.Given Still's especially reclusive posture later in lifeand the fact that none of the artworks in Still's estatewere exhibited or made available to anyone before theopening of the Clyfford Still Museum in 2011, a full-scale presentation of these forty paintings and thirtyworks on paper is especially meaningful.In addition to essays by Dean Sobel and DavidAnfam, the artists Alex Katz and Dorothea Rockburnecontribute texts on the notion of late work.
