Hurowitz, an art adviser and independent curator, was pleased to have the opportunity (despite the immense amount of work) of compiling this catalogue raisonn矇 of work by Baldessari, a major
figure in contemporary art who has been an innovative and prolific printmaker since 1970. She was delighted to engage Wendy Weitman (former curator of prints, The Museum of Modern Art) to write
an extensive essay titled "Between the Ink and the Photograph," offering a detailed survey and interpretation of Baldessari's work. The essay covers influences and collaborations, early
projects, etchings of the 1980s (including 39 illustrations for The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, politically-linked projects (posters, page inserts, album covers,
billboards), the artist's use of color and move into three dimensions, and his small portfolios. The catalogue itself offers generous display of images on heavy coated stock in an oversize
format (9x12"). Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
