A beautifully illustrated and designed book of the important Pop artist's previously unpublished working studies.

This book sheds new light on the fascinating working processes of American Pop artist James Rosenquist.

James Rosenquist: Collages, Drawings, and Paintings in Process presents previously unpublished preparatory work by the artist

quick sketches to capture ideas, detailed studies, color keys, source materials, and photographs

alongside the iconic paintings that resulted.
