This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Edwin Dickinson: Dreams and Realities," on view at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery from April 27 to July 14, 2002. The exhibition also traveled to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, National Academy of Design, Arkansas Arts Center, and University of Nebraska's Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery. The first Edwin Dickinson monograph published in twenty years, this beautifully executed catalogue contains full-color reproductions of sixty-eight paintings and twenty-seven drawings by the artist and in-depth engaging discussions and essays regarding some of his most compelling works. Essay authors include exhibition organizer and Albright-Knox curator Douglas Dreishpoon, Francis V. O'Connor and Mary Ellen Abell, and the publication also includes recollections and appreciations by Elaine de Kooning, John Ashbery, Norman A. Geske and Michael Mazur and a chronology by Helen Dickinson Baldwin.
