"Writing a Chrysanthemum teems with intense, mysterious feeling.--Michael Quinn ""The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide"" An intimate and refreshing exhibition at the Morgan Library... The curator Rachel Federman has greatlyexpanded [Rick Barton's] reputation with this show, as well as a biographically rich catalog essay.--Lucy Ives ""New York Review of Books"" As the late artist Etel Adnan wrote in an essay from 1998, excerpted in the Morgan's excellentcatalogue, ""Rick Barton should have been a San Francisco legend."" With this intimate, astonishingexhibition, he finally is.--Andrea Scott ""New Yorker"" Hats off to the Morgan's Rachel Federman. She was the curator who brought [Rick Barton] out ofobscurity with real leg work and scholarly research and is at present the only scholarly resource onBarton's work.
