Richard Diebenkorn: Special Presentation | Wartime Works 1943 - 1945
- Van Doren Waxter, New York, 19 March 2020 - 26 June 2020
In March 2020, Richard Diebenkorn: Paintings and Works on Paper 1946–1952 and RRichard Diebenkorn: Special Presentation | Wartime Works 1943–1945 were scheduled to open at Van Doren Waxter in New York. Due to COVID-19 and shelter-in-place orders, the gallery became one of the first to announce online viewing of the exhibitions, making the catalogue with its new, scholarly essay by Scott A. Shields, installation and artwork images, and the press release all available for free on vandorenwaxter.com. The public did not have the opportunity to view the exhibition in person, which quietly filled the piano nobile of the gallery's historic townhouse in New York.

The exhibition presented representational drawings the artist made during his military service from 1943–45. “It was a happy yet terrifying time as Diebenkorn knew he was to be sent behind enemy lines," wrote Scott A. Shields, Associate Director and Chief Curator of the Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento.
