In Company: Robert Creeley's Collaborations (Distributed for the Castellani Art Museum of Niagara Univers)

Celebrating poet Robert Creeley's pathbreaking role as an artistic collaborator, this illustrated volume adds substantially to the documented history of contemporary multidisciplinary art. For more than forty years, Creeley has worked on collaborative projects with some of the best-known artists of our time, including Georg Baselitz, Francesco Clemente, Jim Dine, R. B. Kitaj, Marisol, and Susan Rothenberg. In Company explores this history with essays, interviews, archival photographs, and images of the books and portfolios created, from Numbers (1968) with Robert Indiana to Edges (1997) with Alex Katz. An accompanying CD-ROM features interactive presentations of the projects.

The publication of In Company coincides with a traveling exhibition organized by the Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University. The exhibition, which opened in Niagara this spring and will travel to the New York Public Library in September, will also appear at the Weatherspoon Art Gallery at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum, and Stanford University's Green Library.

Robert Creeley, winner of the 1999 Bollingen Prize and author of more than 60 volumes of poetry, is Samuel P. Capen Professor of Poetry and Humanities at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
