This hardcover exhibition catalogue was published to accompany Howard Hodgkin: Paintings 1992–2007, organized by the Yale Center for British Art and the Fitzwilliam Museum. It focuses on Hodgkin’s later paintings, with bold color plates, essays, checklist, gallery of works, and index.
The book includes essays by Richard Morphet and Anthony Lane, with a directors’ foreword by Amy Meyers and Duncan Robinson. It is a strong title for collectors of Howard Hodgkin, British art, contemporary painting, Yale Center for British Art publications, and Fitzwilliam Museum exhibition catalogues.
Why it matters: Hodgkin’s later work is all gesture, color, memory, and feeling packed into deceptively simple forms. The paintings reproduced here have that wonderful “this looks simple until you try to explain why it works” quality, which is usually how art traps us into caring.
Condition is good to very good. The hardcover book is solid, with clean pages and strong binding. No dust jacket is included. The red cloth boards show shelf wear, rubbing, small marks/scuffs, and light edge/corner wear. Interior appears clean and very lightly handled.
This book pairs especially well with Howard Hodgkin: The Complete Prints, also from the same original owner collection.
This book is from the home of the original owner and is part of a large personal collection of art, design, architecture, photography, advertising, and illustration books that we are downsizing.
