This lavishly illustrated volume presents a visual history of American artist Charles Seliger (1926–2009), the last of the great Abstract Expressionists. Seliger’s commitment to biomorphic abstraction and the refinement and complexity of his painting technique are examined, with many rich full-page details of his remarkable surfaces.

Francis V. O’Connor is an independent art historian who has published and lectured extensively on the Abstract Expressionist movement and its artists.

Melvin P. Lader is professor of twentieth-century American and European art history at George Washington University.

Thomas M. Messer is director emeritus of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.
