This richly illustrated catalog surveys his sustained fascination with the Abstract Expressionist master. Diao worked as an art handler in his 20s and installed Newman's \u003ci\u003eStations of the Cross\u003c\/i\u003e at the Guggenheim in 1966--a signal event that he credits with setting his own course as a painter. \u003ci\u003eOn Barnett Newman, 1991-2023\u003c\/i\u003e documents a cycle of paintings that tabulate the elder artist's career through lushly painted charts, lists and diagrams that filter geometric abstraction through the lens of tribute. An original essay by Jeffrey Weiss details the complex blend of reverence and wry humor for which Diao has become known, citing this series as emblematic of his \"foundational critical ambivalence regarding modernism--its role as a source of pleasure and skepticism in equal measure.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Diao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941366708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941366707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory R.
