Howard Hodgkin: New Paintings 2007–2011
This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition Howard Hodgkin at Gagosian, 980 Madison Avenue, New York. Ranging in scale from intimate to theatrically expansive, these works hold abstraction and figuration in perfect tension. Hodgkin composed these paintings with lush palettes, often incorporating the works’ frames and supports as part of his compositions. Both fragmentary and allusive, they communicate vibrant traces of everyday memories through maximalist gestures.
The publication comprises a fifty-six-page accordion-fold pullout with reproductions of the paintings and a booklet featuring an essay by Richard Kendall, both bound to the hardcover case. Kendall’s text, “Howard Hodgkin: The Making of Meaning,” considers how the artist created his distinctive paintings, discussing the allusiveness, gestures, and painterly effects that he brought to his work.
