The celebrated American artist Richard Diebenkorn (1922–1993) was a singular figure in postwar American art. Early in his career, he created abstract paintings that combined landscape influence, aerial perspective, and a deeply personal calligraphic language. Then, in late 1955, he began working in a representational mode (landscapes, figure studies, and still lifes) and was associated with the Bay Area figurative movement. Diebenkorn later abandoned figurative references in the 1960s and embarked on monumental abstract, geometrical compositions, including his celebrated Ocean Park works.

This is the second volume of a four-volume catalogue raisonné: the definitive resource on Diebenkorn’s unique works, including his paintings, works on paper, and three-dimensional objects. This volume covers his student and early abstract works: cat. nos. 1535–3761.
