The Paintings of Sylvia Plimack Mangold

Rate this book
This volume covers work since 1967 by an artist who went beyond her roots in Minimalism and Conceptual art, becoming a leading representational painter. Her work evolved from renderings of floors, mirrors, and rooms to "masking-tape-framed" landscapes and "portraits" of individual trees at her outdoor Hudson Valley studio.

I love her work. Five stars for the color plates, four stars for the text. She's married to the minimalist artist Robert Mangold. They were both at Yale (graduate) at the same time as Chuck Close, Rackstraw Downes, Eva Hesse, Richard Serra, and other highly successful artists.
