Official synopsis Publisher
Literary Nonfiction. Art. Illustrated by 40 color plates. Essay by William Corbett. ALBERT YORK is the first monograph on the little known but intensely admired American painter who died in 2009 at eighty-one. York showed at Manhattan’s Davis & Langdale Gallery beginning in 1963 and throughout his career. His shows had good reviews; his work sold but word of his special quality has just begun to spread into the wider world. His subjects are as ordinary–cows, trees in a meadow, flowers bunched in a tomato can–as his forms and paint handling powerful. William Corbett has followed York’s work for thirty-five years. He has published a book on Philip Guston, edited the letters of James Schuyler, and is a poet.
