Sketchbook I (For Mama) contains the foundations for the artist’s recent painting series, “Mama,” and includes the figures, compositions, and lines found in these large-scale paintings.

American Art Catalogues presents Sketchbook I (For Mama) and Sketchbook II (A Midsummer Night’s Dream), by Rita Ackermann. Birthed from an objective shared between artist and publisher, the idea of creating the perfect “artist book”, the sketchbooks were designed first as objects, and then filled with process.
Sketchbook I (For Mama, features the foundations for Ackermann’s recent painting series, Mama. Figures, compositions, and lines found in these large scale paintings can be identified within the spreads of this sketchbook. These two facsimiles are the first in a series of five, with the remaining sketchbooks due out in the coming months.
