The first of a 5-volume catalogue issued under the aegis of the Menil Foundation. A continental edition was also published by Mercatorfonds, Antwerp. This major study, in the author's own words, offers interpretations and evaluations of the works and investigates the long-term development of the artist's images and preoccupations. The detailed chronology covers the artist's career, including the oils, objects, sculpture and works on paper (excluding prints). It is a repository of information to which the catalogue entries constantly refer. While the catalogue itself does not include much provenance (selective information about that is given in the history section) the entries do cite exhibitions; at the author's decision, mention is less inclusive of other publications illustrating the artist's works.
