Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held September 8 - October 6, 1990. Includes an essay entitled "Through the Frame ( The Frame is Through )" by Peter Schjeldahl, who writes that Ralph Humphrey's Frame Paintings "mark a sea change in the history of abstract painting, by which artists abandoned worn-out ideals of modernizing progress to seek in kinds of sheerly human presence the means for abstraction to survive as a necessary art ... They are tours de fource of painting as criticism of painting, with the charm of emerging, besides, as straightforwardly gratifying paintings in their own right." Included are color reproductions of each of Humphrey's Frame Paintings, as well as a biography and bibliography.
