Do not miss this opportunity to own this four volume set, in a slipcase, published by Yale University Press (2016), and published in association with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco de Young, Golden Gate Park, and the Richard Diebenkorn Foundation, Berkeley, CA.So how good is Mr. Diebenkorn? In 1955 at the age of 32 or 33 he had a painting in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (RD1019- Gift of Jermayne MacAgy, 55,6936, "Untitled," (1946), Oil on canvas.) Volume 2, Page 130.These books are about the beauty and the ideas of the paintings and drawings by Mr. Diebenkorn. There are also a lot of essays and photographs included. It is not about the money you pay for the four volumes, to me they are priceless. These hardcover books are a labor of love, printed in Verona, Italy, on acid free paper. You will not regret buying these books. Simply a treasure beyond words.
