The new publication 'Pamela Jorden' is the first comprehensive look at the work of the American painter. Throughout her 20-year career, Jorden has sought to pursue and expand upon the language of abstraction through investigations of painting as a medium. Looking at early abstractionists such as Sonia Delaunay and later influential works by Helen Frankenthaler, Cy Twombly and Jasper Johns, Jorden approaches her paintings as a series of improvisations, building on initial compositional sketches and brushstrokes with areas of layered texture and colour. The book is published to coincide with the 10-year anniversary of Jorden's exhibitions on the East Coast with Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, and covers the span of works from the past decade. 76 colour and b/w
