"To accompany the exhibition, the Buffalo AKG and DelMonico Books will publish the most comprehensive catalog yet dedicated to Stanley Whitney's pioneering fifty-year career. The book's essays contextualize Whitney's best-known gridded paintings from the past two decades alongside an historical assessment of his practice; the interconnected development of his works on paper; Whitney's relationship with the written word; and the influences on his practice from art history, poetry, music, quilting, and more. The catalog features new essays by exhibition curator Chaffee and host curators Ruth Erickson, Barbara Lee Chief Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs, The Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston (ICA) and Pavel S. Pyś, Curator of Visual Arts at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. It also features texts by Kim Conaty, Steven and Ann Ames Curator of Drawings and Prints at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Norma Cole, a poet, painter, and translator; and Duro Olowu, a London-based fashion designer and curator. These exciting examinations of and reflections on the arc of Whitney's career are presented alongside full-color reproductions of the works featured in the retrospective, a robust bibliography, an exhibition history, an illustrated chronology, and an extensive interview with the artist by Grégoire Lubineau and conversation between Cole and Whitney" -- exhibition website
