This work will be included in the forthcoming Richard Diebenkorn Catalogue Raisonné under estate number 4010.
"Before about 1983-certainly throughout the 1970s and into the early 1980s-Diebenkorn sometimes seemed to approach his work on paper as a sort of backdrop, or subtext, for the process of compositional thought that went into the paintings and that led to other drawings. At virtually any point (it was certainly true each time I visited the artist's studio), he would be looking carefully at works on paper while he was painting large canvases. The drawings were tacked to the wall in rows, sometimes as many as twenty of them; they were frequently changed, both in terms of their disposition on the walls and, in some cases, their internal composition."
