Interviews and Statements by the Artist
Compiled by Carl R. Schmitz
This chronological compilation documents every known published work containing words directly attributed to Richard Diebenkorn. The material ranges from primary resources such as Paul Mills’s Contemporary Bay Area Figurative Painting catalogue (1957) to citations as ancillary as newspaper article quotes on timely issues in the art world. As Diebenkorn was often generous with his time in helping students, unpublished academic theses are also listed. A number of citations are grouped around the times of important exhibitions, such as the retrospective organized by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the group of shows held in San Francisco in 1983, and the Whitechapel Art Gallery retrospective of 1991. Citations that are exclusive to this section and do not also appear in the bibliography are marked with an asterisk.
