Suzan Frecon: Paper
”Suzan Frecon came to Minimalism late, but she has persisted and her work has a deeper, quieter kind of originality: a sense of unassailable integrity and the fullness of form.”
— Roberta Smith, The New York Times

Produced in close collaboration with the artist, this beautifully designed publication features works on paper created over the past decade by SUZAN FRECON. Large-scale reproductions and gatefold pages reveal the extraordinary details: watercolors are on agate-burnished old Indian ledger paper, found or salvaged old Indian paper, agate-burnished double-weight Indian jute paper, Chinese Yumei, Japanese handmade paper, Fabriano hot press paper, and Arches hot press paper.
Included in the publication is a selection of over 50 watercolors, a few small oil on panel works (which help illuminate the relationship between the two different media), as well as excerpted texts by Sarah Eckhardt from her 2008 essay “Portio Minor: Suzan Frecon’s Watercolors,” reproductions of books from the artist’s library, and intimate photographs of the artist’s studio.
This publication coincided with an exhibition at David Zwirner, New York, February 13-March 23, 2013.
