Amy Newman
Barnett Newman Here
Princeton, USA: Princeton University Press, 2025
728 pp., 24.5 x 17 x 4.5 cm., hardcover
Edition size unknown
An epic, and likely now definitive biography of the New York abstract expressionist, by art historian and journalist Amy Newman (no relation). Granted full access to the artist's archives, Newman spent decades researching the volume, which includes interviews, oral histories, and previously unseen correspondence, as well as twenty colour and over sixty black & white illustrations.
Released a month ago today, the title has already considerable press coverage. It has been called “a vibrant magnum opus that gloriously reveals Barnett Newman in full” (Booklist), “an impressive, nuanced study” (Kirkus Reviews), and “essential reading for those interested in understanding both the man and his work” (Library Journal).
