Richard Diebenkorn: The Ocean Park Series
Sarah C. Bancroft, with essays by Susan Landauer and Peter Levitt

This stunning exhibition catalogue celebrates in depth for the first time Richard Diebenkorn’s seminal Ocean Park works, serving as a major reference and a source of new scholarship on the series.

As he traversed the worlds of abstract expressionism and figurative painting, Diebenkorn became one of America’s most beloved postwar artists. The Ocean Park series, begun in 1967 and comprising works in a variety of media, is arguably the most celebrated of his illustrious career. This book features beautifully reproduced works that radiate with color, allowing readers to appreciate the artist’s evolving palette as well as his brilliant geometric explorations. The paintings, prints, drawings, and collages that make up the series are examined from diverse perspectives in essays that bring to light new influences and conceptual frameworks that reposition the Ocean Park series, as well as the artist’s role in the history of postwar art. The result is a timely re-examination of a major body of work that will
excite the numerous fans of this quintessential California artist.

Sarah C. Bancroft is curator at the Orange County Museum of Art in
Newport Beach, California, and is an art historian of postwar American art.

Susan Landauer is an art historian, scholar, and curator who is an expert on
postwar art in California.

Peter Levitt is a recipient of the Lannan Foundation Award in Poetry, as well
as published author of journalism, fiction, and translations.
