Since 2001, R.H. Quaytman’s (b. 1961) artistic output has been modeled on the structure of a book. Each body of work is a “chapter” in an ongoing investigation of the history of image making. Quaytman combines painted and silk-screened images on wood panels to create densely layered compositions that shift between abstraction and figuration. 

Using her 2022 exhibition at Glenstone as a jumping off point, Book is the second volume of Quaytman’s catalogue raisonné and artist book. Following the first twenty chapters of work covered in Spine (2011), Book traces chapters 21 through 35. Designed in collaboration with Petra Hollenbach, the 719-page hardback volume richly illustrates and catalogues twelve years of work with hundreds of images alongside installation floorplans and exhibition schematics. With texts by the artist accompanying each chapter, the publication also features a foreword by Glenstone director and co-founder, Emily Wei Rales and prologue by curator Yuri Stone.
