In 1990, the gallery published a catalog on his "Courtship Series" with essays by Gerald Nordland and Bruce Guenther. In the forward I wrote,
"Each new body of work seeks to explore uncharted territory. Each new painting promises to better translate his observations into a painterly
language. Being summoned to Alden's studio to view 'the most marvelous painting yet' has become a familiar and personal joke between
us. Yet each time I hear excitement register in his voice over a new painting I am reminded that his lack of complacency keeps him vital."
