This exhibition showed selections from the collection of Louise and Joseph Pulitzer, Jr.

A catalogue was published on occasion of the exhibition.

“9 APRIL–4 MAY: Albuquerque #4 (cat. 1096) is on view in ‘Modern Painting, Drawing and Sculpture: Collected by Louise and Joseph Pulitzer, Jr.’ at M. Knoedler and Co. in New York; the show will travel to the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for the summer. Aline Saarinen comments that Diebenkorn is ‘fashionable in sophisticated New York circles.’” —Chronology from Richard Diebenkorn: The Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 1 (Yale University Press, 2016)

“The impact of landscape in No. 4 is unmistakable—the pulsating light of the desert, so volatile and elusive, has been transferred to canvas, not for descriptive purposes but as the element essential to the character of this spacious western land.” —Joseph Pulizter, Jr. in the exhibition catalogue for "Modern Painting, Drawing and Sculpture Collected by Louise and Joseph Pulitzer, Jr."
