Photorealism at the millennium

The third volume in his definitive series on the subject, Louis K. Meisel's Photorealism at the Millennium documents the movement's evolution through the 1990s. More than 600 full-color images, including such distinctive works as Tom Blackwell's Odalisque Express (1992-93), Richard Estes's Spring Afternoon, Madison Square, New York (1999-2000), and Ralph Goings's Duke Diner (1999), represent the decade. Ron Kleemann, Richard McLean, David Parrish, John Salt: every major Photorealist and many of Meisel's recent discoveries are featured.Begun in the early 1970s, Meisel's ongoing chronicle of an entire contemporary movement is unique -- the first ever attempted in art history -- and Linda Chase's insightful essay places the paintings in context. Extensive, exhaustive, engaging, this is the catalogue raisonne of Photorealism.
