This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Richard Diebenkorn: Paintings and Drawings, 1943–1976," which was on view at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery from November 12, 1976, to January 9, 1977. It later traveled to the Cincinnati Art Museum, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Oakland Museum.
