It is sharp and informative and it contains a good deal of new documentation." — The New York Times "This monograph is well researched…and generously illustrated with good color plates.

Reviews
This book is a very complete and enlightening survey of Kline's art. The author chronogically covers all the aspects of the artist's oeuvre and, though it was written some 22 years ago, this publication is a must-have for anyone interested in the abstract expressionist movement. Many major paintings are thoroughly described, the text quotes many friends of Kline's (dealers and critics)stating previously unpublished opinions and is a rich trove of information.The illustrations are unfortunately not as good as they would have been had the book been published more recently, which is why I do not give it 5 stars.
