Description

A New Spirit in Painting is the definitive record of a landmark exhibition. This 1981 Royal Academy show changed the course of 20th-century art. Co-editors Christos M. Joachimides, Norman Rosenthal, and Nicholas Serota curated this historic survey. It showcases three generations of masters. Famous artists include Francis Bacon, Willem de Kooning, and Gerhard Richter. This 262-page hardcover volume remains a critical resource for understanding modern art.

Karin’s Choice: This catalogue represents the ‘Big Bang’ of modern painting. In 1981, this exhibition brought painting back to the center of the art world. It features heavyweights like Picasso, Warhol, and Lucian Freud. What makes this a ‘Skat’ is its immense historical importance. This rare hardcover edition is the ultimate version for any serious art library.

The price is negotioble.
