Critics Review
The ravishing paintings of Marvin E. Newman come together in a major book on the century-spanning work that they are… It’s high time to finally get to know him, with his first full-scale retrospective. This is now available, and the best thing about it is that it’s not in the Museum of Modern Art, but in a very beautiful photo book from TASCHEN - so anyone who likes can leaf through it at home. * Süddeutsche Zeitung *
