Obssessions:
R.B. Kitaj (1932–2007)
Exhibition Catalog
In addition to large color reproductions of around 150 exhibited artworks, this catalog presents numerous images and documents that illustrate R. B. Kitaj’s working method and inspirations. All of these items stem from the artist’s estate. Elaborately designed fold-out pages provide analyses of important paintings, and eight essays explore the life, oeuvre, and relevance of a painter who has unjustly fallen into obscurity today.
