OUT OF STOCK Jake Berthot: New Paintings While constantly developing his art Jake Berthot never strays from his artistic vision. Berthot's new landscapes and paintings of trees are still guided by his mathematical imaginative process, in his search for authenticity and genuine feeling. PAINTING 2001, 24 pp., color illus. Softcover code: mck ber C-6

OUT OF STOCK Phillip Guston: 1961-1965 In Philip Guston's abstract "dark paintings," the only thing thats clear is where the canvas stops. Guston also called these paintings "erasures as he used white pigment to erase globs of black into swirling grays. The erasures are the real images in these works, like paintings of an actively transforming world. PAINTING PB, 42 pp., illus. 1990 code: mck gus61 C-6

OUT OF STOCK David Humphrey At first glance, you have to admit David Humphrey's paintings look weird, but beautiful things often do. His paintings use an intuitive, visual vocabulary, like that of a dream, to speak in metaphors about the human experience. Like a Monet, it's not blurry or unclear...you just have to know how to look. PAINTING PB, 22 pp., illus. 1988 code: mck hum C-6

OUT OF STOCK Loren Madsen: Sculptures/Installations Loren Madsen uses near-invisible wires to make floating sculptures with everyday materials: bricks, concrete blocks and wood. With his gallery-size sculptures or the massive wooden arches suspended in a lobby atrium, Madsen is exhuberant about the delicate balance between the mundane and the magical. SCULPTURE PB, 24 pp., illus. 1986 code: mck mad C-6

OUT OF STOCK Phillip Guston: Mind and Matter The philosopher's inquiry has always privileged mind over matter. When Philip Guston broke the prescription against figuration, Abstract Expressionism was at its height and "mind" was considered the higher reckoning in art as well. However, in Pyramid and Shoe, Guston places a clumsy boot on equal terms with a symbol of pure thought. Guston never abandoned either the intellectual or the material world, and his art is that much stronger for it. PAINTING PB, 43 pp., illus. 2003 code: mck mind C-6

OUT OF STOCK Sean Scully: Paintings 1987-1988 Sean Scully's abstract aesthetic and his way of speaking stripes and color have developed in the tradition of an artist's progression towards a state of grace. With his voluptuous paint-handling and color that preferences authority over elegance, these images are imbued with a sense of life's vicissitudes. PAINTING 1989, 28 pp., illus. Softcover code: mck sc87 C-6

OUT OF STOCK Sean Scully: Paintings 1989-1990 Van Gogh, as Sean Scully describes him, made it so that "a blind man could read a painting." One could sense the physicality of the work by touching the paint. Like his hero, Scully tries to make his paintings "moving, powerful and necessary," and to suffuse them with "a kind of nobility-a physical strength so they can be proud of who they are." PAINTING 1990, 24 pp., illus. Softcover code: mck sc90 C-6

OUT OF STOCK Jeanne Silverthorne: New Work 1998-2000 Jeanne Silverthorne's work is a meditation on size and perception. Gel prints of hallways and other interiors are made miniature, but the sculptures of microscopic human biology are large and abrasive. By inverting magnitudes of order, Silverthorne plays tricks with our senses to offer us new ways to understand the relationships among the objects all around us. SCULPTURE 2000, 24 pp., illus. Softcover code: mck sil

OUT OF STOCK SEAN SCULLY: PAINTINGS 1985-1986 This catalogue features 9 color plates, and the transcript of a conversation between Scully and Joseph Masheck entitled “Piecing Things Together”. PAINTING 1986, 9 x 9 inches, unpaginated, 9 color illus. Softcover code: mck sc85 C-6
