“Readers who take the time to read rather than simply dipping into the book as a reference text will find that Jack Bush Paintings: A Catalogue Raisonné is an extraordinary resource. Essays by Michael Fried and Karen Wilkin, along with an historical reprinting of an important 1980 text by Clement Greenberg begin volume one; detailed and well-constructed biographical texts by Stanners introduce each separate volume. All of this makes for absorbing reading and for those of us who were unfamiliar with Bush’s earlier works, before he found the style of abstract paintings for which he is best known – it is revelatory.” – Gwendolyn Owens, Border Crossings Vol. 43 no. 2, Issue 166 (January 2025)
