Reviews
This book is the catalog for the current Thiebaud exhibition held at the Acquavella Gallery on 79th street in NYC, Acquavella being Thiebaud's dealer since 2012. The book is richly illustrated and the reproductions are of a better quality than in the Whitney 2000 catalog, even though there are fewer works in the show. The main asset of this publication is to show numerous works owned by the artist and his family, which, by definition, are seldom reproduced. Given the dearth of notable books on Thiebaud, this one is the best available option in my opinion.
