Frank Bowling

Fifty years of Bowling's adventures in abstraction, with archival studio shots and a conversation with the artist's familyA survey of Frank Bowling's (born 1936) abstract painting practice of the last 50 years, Frank Bowlin London / New York is published on the occasion of concurrent exhibitions by the artist at Hauser & Wirth New York and Hauser & Wirth London in summer 2021.

Rich in archival studio shots and with abundant plates of Bowling's canvases, this publication also includes an essay by Mark Godfrey and a conversation between Bowling, his wife, artist Rachel Scott, and his son Ben Bowling, offering the reader an intimate insight into the master painter's creative process.
