A world-famous painter with a career spanning more than 60 years, it is no exaggeration to say that the author is one of the greatest artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. This book contains new abstract paintings produced from 2016 to 2022, and will be published in conjunction with the exhibition held at the gallery "David Zwirner" in New York from March to April 2023. It is a work that celebrates the attitude of continuing to devote his career to experimental and innovative production. This will also be the artist's first solo exhibition at the gallery. This work is a dense work in which the collection of works itself is a work of art, and it stimulates both the sensibility of viewing from a close distance and the interpretation of beauty in abstraction.
