John Baldessari: A Catalogue Raisonne of Prints and Multiples 1971-2007 is a new book on prints and editions by Baldessari.

"Published by Hudson Hills Press and compiled over several years by the art consultant Sharon Coplan Hurowitz, the book indexes every format Baldessari has used in his extensive printmaking, which has included etchings, lithographs, album covers, posters, billboards and books. For one work, 'Two Nude Women Perched on a Rock,' Baldessari covered the faces with yellow and blue dots; the rock, outlined in red, looks uncannily like a big nose. 'Paradise,' two adjoining black-and-white tropical beach scenes, doesn't look so heavenly with primary-colored bodies falling from the sky like human rain. Among the ceramics are 'Repository,' lozenge-like urinals in decorator colors.

'Inexpensive art should be available to all,' Baldessari writes in a foreword that should sound sweet to recession-weary ears. 'And printmaking is an excellent answer.'"
