This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Frank Bowling: Landscape at Hauser & Wirth West
Hollywood. The book is lavishly illustrated and includes foldouts of artwork details. It
features an essay from art historian Dorothy Price which focuses on the dialogue between
Bowling's and Turner's work. Price notes that gestural sweeps and vast horizon lines bind these
artists across time.? Bowling's invention of a new sublime? is subsequently explored through
the link between Blackness and the sublime that has existed since the eighteenth century. She
also notes that the incorporation of found objects?plastic spiders hospital equipment and the
nozzle from a spray can among them?plays a key role in Bowling's dialogue with the history of
abstraction.
