Take a page from Stanley Whitney's 'Sketchbook'

An artist's sketchbook is a wonderful thing. This spread from Lisson Gallery's new facsimile of one of Stanley Whitney's Moleskine notebooks shows a color study for a related painting. Other pages contain notes and ideas—often seen later in the titles of his paintings—that read like lines of poetry. One page reads, on four lines, "The Red, Blue Lovesong, Depth of Blue, Blue Depth." Others read, "Birdcalls," "For Joy and Grief," "Nation Time," and "The Tiger's Going to Roar Tonight." Get the book at our booth at Freize New York, on view through May 6. Also available, a signed and numbered Stanley Whitney Limited Edition of 10 copies of Artist|Work|Lisson with hand-drawn front and back covers. (See here.)
