James Welling is a contemporary American artist and photographer."One of the most popular and celebrated American artists of the 20th century, Andrew Wyeth spent seven decades painting a particular farm in his hometown of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, resulting in nearly 1,000 paintings. Andrew Wyeth at Kuerner Farm: The Eye of the Earth is the first focused exhibition on this defining subject and tells the story of the connection between artist and place - one of the most enduring connections in American art." — GREENSBORO NEWS & RECORD<br /><br />"This book explores Wyeth’s evolving relationship with the Kuerners, as well as with Karl’s enigmatic caregiver Helga Testorf, whom he painted extensively between 1971 and 1985 in a series of portraits now known as the ‘Helga Pictures’. It also looks at his decades-long connection to the property itself. ‘I didn't think it a picturesque place,’ he once said of Kuerner Farm. ‘It just excited me, purely abstractly and purely emotionally.’" — CHRISTIE'S
