Contemporary Painters Series

Series Editor: Barry Schwabsky 

’I have the proud feeling that this is indeed a compact library of painting in our time, something that will stand as a record of this period.’

Barry Schwabsky, Series Editor


The Contemporary Painters Series is a curated series of accessible, authoritative and highly illustrated monographs on the world's leading living painters, which locates painting as a vibrant and vital part of contemporary art.

The series is edited by American art critic Barry Schwabsky, supported by an international advisory board with a specialist interest in contemporary painting. It aims to redefine 'painting' in the contemporary context as work which is done within the conventions and history of painting, but which may incorporate other materials or techniques.
