Underground Together

The Art and Life of Harvey Dinnerstein

commentaries by Pete Hamill and Gabriel Weisberg; introduction by Raman Frey and Wendi Norris

This is the first career-spanning monograph from one of the foremost contemporary realist painters. New York-based artist Harvey Dinnerstein creates hauntingly penetrating portraits and allegorical street scenes. His work over the course of five decades remains fresh and apt for our time, depicting New York as a microcosm of our society's rich pluralism, struggle, and resilience. Published to accompany a major exhibition to travel throughout 2008 and beyond, this volume’s luscious reproduction and career-spanning scope make this one of the premier art books of the season.

Harvey Dinnerstein’s work is in the permanent collection of numerous museums.

Raman Frey and Wendi Norris are proprietors of Frey Norris Gallery in San Francisco.
