When David Row arrived as a young artist in New York City in the mid-1970s, painting had been declared dead. But Row did not accept this fate: he knew "the task was not to bury modern painting, but to reinvigorate it and reinvent it."

Full of chromatic and structural tension, Row’s seductive paintings lay the foundation for a dialogue about what a painting is and how it can be read. His influential contributions to the development of abstract painting are presented in this monograph of works executed from 1985-1997. Lavishly produced and illustrated in color, this book offers an in depth examination of RowÕs œuvre.

David Row (born 1949, Maine) lives and works in New York City. He has exhibited extensively in the United States and Europe. Row is the recipient of an NEA Grant in Painting and his work is found in numerous public collections.
