Wayne Thiebaud: Summer Days
Shipping calculated at checkout
Over more than six decades, the American painter Wayne Thiebaud produced a colorful body of work frequently devoted to everyday items. Food was a very common subject.
This catalog of an exhibition organized by Acquavella Galleries in conjunction with the Wayne Thiebaud Foundation features more than 60 of Thiebaud’s paintings related to the theme of summer. Many of them come from the foundation’s own holdings and are rarely exhibited.
More than half the paintings in Summer Days concern food. They include a number of ice cream cones, seemingly one of Thiebaud’s favorite subjects, as well as wedges of watermelon, bottles of soda pop, slices of pie, hot dogs, and beach snack shacks.
The volume also includes essays by Steven A. Nash, a longtime friend of Thiebaud and former director of the Palm Springs Art Museum, and by Mary Orkin, a professor in the women’s studies department at the University of Maine.
Hardcover. Full-color throughout. 10” x 12⅜”.
