Ellsworth Kelly
A look at Ellsworth Kelly's eight Spectrum Colors Arranged by Chance collages and how they set the foundation for his career-long exploration of abstract, minimalist art Revered for his iconic color field paintings, Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015) is one of the most influential artists in American Abstraction. His body of work, encompassing paintings, sculptures, and prints, illustrates his unprecedented experiments with form and color. Less well known are his eight collages, known as Spectrum Colors Arranged by Chance (1951), which led directly to some of the artist's most iconic early works. Made from papier gomette, or sticky squares of colored paper used by French schoolchildren, these collages represent Kelly's early exploration of non-compositional strategies. Created by using chance operations to place the gomette on grids, Spectrum Colors Arranged by Chance boldly anticipates the evolution of Kelly's innovative methods. Alongside brilliant photographs that bring the reader into intimate contact with Kelly's series of collages, a wide-ranging roundtable conversation with artist Jacqueline B. Humphries, art historian Hannah Higgins, and Kelly's widower, the photographer Jack Shear, explores the origins of these groundbreaking works and their continued resonance today, bringing to life the story of his bold, experimental designs.

Wifredo Lam
This beautifully illustrated book, the first monograph on Wifredo Lam since 1989, provides a comprehensive retrospective of the iconic Cuban artist's life and work. With the quasquicentennial of his birth approaching, recent research and cataloging have deepened our understanding of Wifredo Lam (1902-1982) and his multifaceted contributions to 20th century art and politics. Following a long journey that began in Spain, where Lam studied the great European painters--Bosch, Du]rer, Vel獺zquez and Goya--this book traces defining moments in his artistic evolution. Encounters with Picasso and Breton in Paris shaped his distinctive style, which existed at the heart of modernity, distinguished also by the influences of surrealism, Matisse, and African art. Born in 1902 to a Chinese father and an African mother, Lam's work draws from both European and Afro-Caribbean visual culture in a unique synthesis of his multicultural heritage and formulative studies. Forced to flee Paris in 1940 by the Nazi occupation, Lam took refuge in Marseilles before returning to Cuba, where his visual language evolved into a powerful tool for confronting the social and political injustices of the newly globalized world. Through thoughtful interpretation of Lam's body of work, author Jacques Leenhardt sheds light on the originality of his language, both symbolic and pictorial, and the evolution of visual art in the 20th century.
Stuck: Maurizio Cattelan: The Unauthorized Autobiography
Updated and newly illustrated edition of Francesco Bonami's Maurizio Cattelan: The Unauthorized Autobiography. First published in 2011 in Italian, and subsequently in 2013 in English, STUCK: Maurizio Cattelan: The Unauthorized Autobiography, charts the life of the Italian artist beginning with his childhood in Italy. His longtime friend and collaborator Francesco Bonami assumes Cattelan's perspective, and recounts with great humor episodes from the artist's life and decades' long career.

Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2011 up until 2019 and Comedian, the infamous taped banana.
Robert Therrien: This Is a Story
Moving beyond his well-known monumental installations of tables and chairs, this tribute to Robert Therrien analyzes his understudied later worksPublished with The Broad. This book presents a fresh, accessible and dynamic look at the work of American artist Robert Therrien (1947-2019), surveying over 40 years of his influential work, notably his underseen and understudied late works. Organized chronologically and thematically, emphasizing Therrien's iterative artistic practice of exploring sets of themes over time, the volume speaks to the nature of memory and how it is shaped by space, time and materials, placing his practice within the history of recent sculpture in Los Angeles and elsewhere. The book showcases Therrien's personal vocabulary of forms as they become a personal language of continuous creation for the artist over time. A single Therrien gesture can expand, contract, change materially or seamlessly transform into other images entirely. At the heart of Therrien's practice is a sense of artistic animation, by turns fun, playful and serious.

Dyani White Hawk: Love Language
A landmark mid-career survey for the famed Lakota artist known for her monumental geometric paintings and installations incorporating traditional quillwork and beadworkPublished with Remai Modern. Rooted in intergenerational knowledge, the art of Dyani White Hawk centers on connection--between one another, past and present, earth and sky. By foregrounding Lakota forms and motifs, she challenges prevailing narratives surrounding abstract art. Accompanying White Hawk's major mid-career survey exhibition, this publication gathers new scholarship examining 15 years of the artist's work across multimedia paintings, sculpture, video, works on paper and more.Opening with early pieces that combine quillwork, lane stitch beadwork and painting, the artist examines, dissects and reassembles elements of her own Sic獺ngu Lakota and European American ancestries, putting these in active conversation with histories of abstract painting. In other works, she marries traditional techniques with outsize scale, highlighting her ongoing commitment to formal and material experimentation. The book features a new group of these works, from her monumental Wopila Lineage paintings to a new series of towering columnar sculptures made from loomed beads, assembled in dizzying arrays of pattern and color. Made in collaboration with a skilled team of studio beadworkers, these shimmering surfaces invite close inspection of both their material construction and their cultural and historical underpinnings.Dyani White Hawk (born 1976) was raised in Madison, Wisconsin, and received her BFA from the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and an MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has been the recipient of prestigious awards, most recently including a Guggenheim Fellowship (2024), Creative Capital grant (2024) and MacArthur Foundation Fellowship "Genius Grant" (2023). Her work has been exhibited at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Denver Art Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among many others.

Picasso: T礙te-?-T礙te
This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition Picasso: T礙te-?-T礙te at Gagosian, 980 Madison Avenue, New York, presented in collaboration with the artist's daughter Paloma Picasso. Drawn largely from Picasso's estate, the book features over sixty rarely seen paintings, sculptures, and drawings from the full span of his career, from 1896 to 1972. Inspired by the achronological approach that Picasso took when installing his first retrospective in 1932, works from across decades are placed in conversation, encouraging viewers to discover new personal connections and continuities. Fully illustrated with color plates, including extensive installation photography, the catalogue reproduces all the works in the exhibition alongside details and archival images of the artist and his studios. It includes an introduction by Larry Gagosian; a conversation between Paloma Picasso and artist Peter Doig addressing the inspiration behind the exhibition and recounting her father's creative life; "Hanging with Picasso," an essay by Michael Cary reflecting on the diversity of the artist's practice; and a translation of a 1932 conversation between Picasso and E. T矇riade. The cloth hardcover is housed in a slipcase featuring the painting Fillette jouant avec une voiture (Paloma fond rouge) (1951) and the sculpture Petite fille sautant ? la corde (1950).
Mimosa Echard
Using everything from sheet metal to moss and crushed-up pills, Echard's assemblages reckon with both the natural and artificial materiality of human lifePublished with Galerie Chantal Crousel. French artist Mimosa Echard (born 1986) draws from biological research, experimental cinema and personal experience to create works that intertwine sexuality, perception and artifice. Her assemblages and installations question the ability of language to grasp her objects, paying attention to the invisible (or latent) potential of the materials she employs.

Sanam Khatibi
This is the first international monograph on Belgian artist Sanam Khatibi. Khatibi's timeless and allegorical works are set in fantastical, utopian landscapes where humans and beasts exhibit little emotional or physical distinction. She plays with ambivalence to juxtapose dualities such as animal versus human, past versus present, and cruelty versus seduction. Her subjects live on their impulses in alluring, exotic landscapes. They are ambiguous in their relationship to power, violence, sensuality, and each other. The recurrent themes in her work question our connection to chaos, destruction, excess, loss of control, bestiality, domination, and submission. Wildlife and animals are an integral part of her practice, and her subjects are often depicted within the same plane as the flora and fauna. Channeling magical naturalism through paintings, embroideries, tapestries, sculptures, and installations, Khatibi both exalts and cautions against the fine line between triumph and failure, peace and brutality, and, ultimately, civilization and destruction. Khatibi's recent solo shows include Mendes Wood DM, S瓊o Paulo (2022); Groeninge Museum, Bruges (2021); Kunsthal Gent (2020); Rodolphe Janssen, Brussels (2019); Mus矇e d'art de la Province de Hainaut, BPS22, Charleroi (2019); and P.P.O.W, New York (2019). Her work has also been part of institutional group shows at the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens (2022); Kunsthal KAdE, Amersfoort (2022); Centraal Museum, Utrecht (2021); S.M.A.K., Ghent (2021); Kortrijk Triennial (2021); Kunstverein Dresden (2020); Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (M HKA) (2020); and 16th Istanbul Biennial (2019).

Jonathan Meese: Totaler Metabolismus
Berlin-based performance and multimedia artist Jonathan Meese strikes against "creativity" as a fashionable form of exclusive self-actualization via a storm of propaganda consisting of almost 400 collages and belligerent hand-illustrated manifestos. The book's title suggests a proclamation of the most ultra-radical utopia of all time, what its maker terms a "Dictatorship of Art."
Paul Pagk
From drawing his lines freehand to mixing his own paint, Pagk conceives his works as invitations to "inhabit" his spatial constructionsIn his geometric compositions, Paul Pagk (born 1962) plays with the notions of symmetry and off-centering using a pictorial language of color, line and light. His paintings exude a sense of harmony and movement, captivating the eye and inviting contemplation.
Vaginal Davis: Magnificent Product
Welcome to the wondrous world of Vaginal Davis: visual artist, punk rocker, "drag terrorist" and genderqueer iconPublished with Moderna Museet, Stockholm. In Vaginal Davis' pioneering and incredibly diverse oeuvre, punk meets glamour, queer activism meets racial justice and resistance meets joy. An icon of contemporary queer history, Vaginal Davis has made scenes for a living: through personas as diverse and outrageous as Rayvn Cymone McFarlane or John Dean Egg III, and as a part of bands including Cholita! The Female Menudo and the Afro Sisters. Since then, she has achieved cult status as a self-proclaimed "sexual repulsive" and a "drag terrorist"--shattering notions of mainstream conformity and the sanitization of Black, queer and Chicano cultures for appropriation by white audiences.An uproarious celebration of Davis' work and cultural legacy, this bilingual English/Swedish catalog is Z-bound (English on one side, Swedish on the other) and takes readers on a whirlwind tour across the artist's protean output spanning music, performance, installations, lectures and visual art: from her early punk shows to her recent "fantasy library" imagined as a teenager's bedroom. A final section, "Dear Ms. Davis," includes heartfelt tributes to the artist from fellow "colleagues, concubines and conconspirators."Vaginal Davis was born intersex in Los Angeles to parents of Black Creole, Mexican, Jewish and German descent. Naming herself after radical Black feminist Angela Davis, she emerged in the queer punk scenes of Bushwick and Los Angeles in the 1980s before moving to Berlin in the early 2000s.

Ann Wolff
Art is coming from my inside. I am working as its servant.-- I let it out not thinking too much-- using my hands and gesture-- choosing a material to put it on place. I do not use the art. It is using me." Ann Wolff (b. L羹 beck, 1937; lives and works in Visby and Kyllaj, Sweden) has ranked among the most significant and most influential glass artists on the international scene for over five decades.

Jacqueline de Jong: Vicious Circles
Best known for her landmark publication, the Situationist Times, de Jong now receives a survey dedicated to her avant-garde practice beyond the printed page Until recently, Dutch artist Jacqueline de Jong (1939-2024) has primarily been recognized for her role as founder and editor of the seminal artist's magazine, the Situationist Times (1962-67).

Renoir Drawings
Drawings, pastels, prints and watercolors: Renoir's works on paper provide crucial insight into his instantly recognizable Impressionist paintingsPublished with RMN-Grand Palais, Mus矇e d'Orsay, and Morgan Library & Museum. The paintings of Pierre-Auguste Renoir have become icons of Impressionism. Although his works on paper are less widely known, drawing remained central to his artistic practice even as his interests and ambitions changed over the course of a long career. This book explores the ways in which Renoir used paper to test ideas, plan compositions and interpret both landscape and the human figure.Renoir Drawings features more than 110 drawings, pastels, watercolors, prints and a small selection of paintings, enabling readers to engage with Renoir's creative process while offering insights into his artistic methods over five decades.Thematic sections cover the full span of the artist's career, ranging from academic studies he made as a student, to on-the-spot impressions of contemporary urban and rural life, to finished, formal portraits, to intimate sketches of friends and family completed late in life. In-depth case studies of favored themes and preparatory work for landmark canvases further illuminate Renoir's drawing practice.Together with Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) was a founder of the style that became known as Impressionism, and one of its most prolific exponents. He was described by Herbert Read as "the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau."
