“Your Catalogue Raisonné is a massive achievement as well as an object of beauty.” - James Yohe, Ameringer Yohe McEnery Gallery
“I would venture that the book will become a standard reference on Francis’ work. There are no more complete efforts than this one that tackles and describes the whole career.” - Robert Buck, former director Albright-Knox Art Gallery and curator Brooklyn Museum of Art
“It is hard to imagine any new publication being able to provide as much breathtakingly unknown material. Agee’s text radiates a long and deep understanding of the art. Burchett-Lere’s chronology provides an exemplary biographical timeline, incorporating much new material, and is likely to be a standard scholarly source for many years to come.” - David Anfam, author Mark Rothko catalogue raisonné
“The catalogue raisonné is beautiful! You should be proud. I know Sam is smiling...” - Kayo Francis Malik
"Bravo on an amazing endeavor. The catalogue is really
a tour de force." - Jack Rutberg, Jack Rutberg Fine Art
