Architects of Being
Born just nine years apart in Ukraine and Siberia, respectively, Louise Nevelson and Esphyr Slobodkina were both children of Jewish families who fled Russian governmental repression and conflict. Both made early marriages of convenience or convention that were short-lived. Both went to New York in the 1920s, struggling to become artists amid the Great Depression. Both overcame the accepted modes of making, moving between art forms in expansive, category-defying ways. The parallels are poignant, including their similarly fearless devotion to abstract art in an era that had yet to fully embrace it. Architects of Being pays homage to these two women who were direct and dauntless. Fittingly, this book draws its title from Nevelson's insight that "there's something very important about character: character is structure. Character is the architecture of the being." The connection between inner self and outward manifestation--both one's art and one's self-fashioning--is at the heart of Architects of Being. This richly illustrated and expertly researched exhibition catalog celebrates Nevelson's and Slobodkina's artistic journeys and architectural affinities, expanding our understanding of how these pioneering figures dissolved boundaries between art forms in ways that prefigured what we see throughout the art world today.
Leonilson: Now and Opportunities
Highlighting Leonilson's most potent and political works, made in the final five years of his lifeThough technically a member of the '80s generation of Brazilian artists, Leonilson's (1957-93) most stringent work was made late in the decade and into the early 1990s. This exhibition catalog focuses on the "late Leonilson" works, his richest and most complex, before his untimely death from AIDS-related causes.
Kaari Upson: Dollhouse
Upson's first museum exhibition following her untimely death shows the range of an artist already well on her way to becoming a modern classicAt her untimely death from cancer in 2021 at the age of 51, Kaari Upson (1970-2021) was widely regarded as one of the most significant and versatile American artists of her generation with a practice spanning sculpture, drawing, performance, film and painting. Though her career was cut short, she left behind a rich, intense and strongly personal body of work that revolves around identity, body, sex, relationships, memory, illness and loss. Published on the occasion of the Louisiana's retrospective exhibition, the catalogue comprises the Los Angeles-based artist's most important works: from her dollhouses to The Larry Project, where she conducted something close to a criminological "investigation" of a person who once lived across from her childhood home in San Bernardino, California; her Mother's Legs tree trunk installation and her never-before-shown large series of "foot face" drawings that she made just before she died.
Jason Polan: The Post Office
A collection of whimsical mail art sent to and from the late illustrator known for his playful sketches and line drawings, with contributions from Marcel Dzama, Stefan Marx and moreThis volume engages with the broader artistic practice of artist and illustrator Jason Polan, famous for his ink sketches of the city's people and places, as collected in the cult favorite tome Every Person in New York. The Post Office collects a body of materials Polan exchanged through the mail with friends, fans and penpals, as well as the artwork that he in turn received, often whimsical drawings and short text works. In gathering the material, the project reflects on Polan's affinity for the US Postal Service and his commitment to mail art as a means to build networks and make connections--a practice he maintained over many years with both friends and strangers alike. The result is a new perspective on Polan's legacy, highlighted through an exchange that is playful and often touching, the contours of which offer an expanded portrait of the artist.Jason Polan (1982-2020) was a Michigan-born, New York City-based artist and illustrator known for his humorous and prolific output, sketching strangers, art-world figures, celebrities, friends, objects and the things he spotted on his many museum visits. His illustrations have appeared in Metropolis Magazine, the New Yorker and ARTnews and his books have generated wide acclaim. His work also appeared in a regular column in the New York Times, and on apparel in a collaboration with Uniqlo. His books include Every Person in New York and Every Piece of Art in the Museum of Modern Art.
Robert Rauschenberg: Roci
The only in-print book exploring Rauschenberg's years-long, self-funded initiative to promote cultural and artistic exchange across the globeThe Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange, or ROCI (pronounced "Rocky," the name of the artist's pet turtle), was a tangible expression of Robert Rauschenberg's (1925-2008) long-term commitment to human rights and to the freedom of artistic expression. Funded almost entirely by the artist himself, Rauschenberg traveled to countries around the world often where artistic experimentation had been suppressed with the purpose of sparking a dialogue and achieving a mutual understanding through the creative process. Between 1985 and 1990, the project was realized in 10 countries in the following order: Mexico, Chile, Venezuela, China, Tibet, Japan, Cuba, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), Germany and Malaysia, with a final exhibition held in 1991 at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.This catalog is the only in-print publication on Rauschenberg's ROCI initiative, making it an invaluable text for understanding this important and long-running project.

Chinese Woodcut
Written in beautiful poetic prose, Chinese Woodcut: The Art of Liu Chunjie takes the reader on a personal journey through this celebrated artist's life's work. Special edition, 200 copies, with a signed handmade bookplate. Master printmaker Liu Chunjie is renowned for his beautiful woodcut art. Born to land reclamation workers in Heilongjiang Province's 856 Farm, Lui began life in a remote part of China that was deemed to be a place of cultural exile. But it is here that a vibrant chapter in the history of contemporary Chinese printmaking, known as Beidahuang Prints, was born. Living and breathing woodcut art, Liu takes the reader on a personal journey through his life's work. Written in beautiful poetic prose, Liu describes how his art and the techniques he uses have developed over time, culminating in a stunning body of work that has made him the celebrated artist he is today. Having experimented with colored ink, installation art and mixed-media painting, it is the spirit of woodcut that remains the foundation of Liu's art. Using ancient tools and materials, he creates works that embody modern concepts, elevating the essence of woodcut art to a new level.
Brixy
Energy, optimism, the joy of life: Dietmar Brixy creates works that burst into the world with luminous color and dynamism. Paintings with titles such as Happy or Journey invite us to join Dietmar Brixy on a visual adventure of glorious color and spirited composition, which he sets off against dark and muted shades. Every picture offers an emotional and exciting discovery, each time in a new way. At times, the color retreats like a curtain from gentler tones, opening up three-dimensional spaces as in Brixy's large-format series Reflect. At other times, round pictures called Bamboo Bubbles are grouped together to form ensembles that portray nature's cyclical processes, from growth to decay. This book, designed as an exhibition in itself, was conceived to accompany Brixy's installation at the Venice Biennale and will guide the viewer into his magnificently vivid world.
Kim Chong Hak: Painter of Seoraksan
Flouting the postmodern trends of 1960s South Korea, Kim's Mount Seorak landscapes mark a poignant return to figurationSince debuting his mature style in 1984, Kim Chong Hak (born 1937) has become one of the most widely recognized artists in South Korea. Known as the "Painter of Seoraksan," Kim has a relationship with Mount Seorak that is as essential to the history of Korean contemporary art as Cezanne's depictions of Mont Sainte-Victoire are in Western art history. Like many others in the postwar generation, Kim found himself grappling with questions of identity and persistent cultural memories within a deeply embedded colonial consciousness. Rejecting abstraction, he relocated to Gangwon Province, where his views of Seorak in the Taebaek Mountains encouraged the expressive figurative style for which he is known. Thus, Kim Chong Hak: Painter of Seoraksan is both the record of a generation's cultural reclamation and a reflection on the joys, sorrows, pain and fulfillment of coming into one's own language as an artist. This book was published in conjunction with High Museum of Art.
Homecoming
A celebration of the art and career of Walter Osborne (1859-1903), one of Ireland's leading landscape and portrait painters.Published to coincide with the artist's first monographic exhibition organized in the United States, Homecoming: Walter Osborne's Portraits of Dublin, 1880-1900 explores the art of this leading Irish painter. This vital catalogue of Osborne's work depicts Dublin as a vibrant city of commerce, social interaction, and artistic potential in the late nineteenth century.This lavishly illustrated catalogue charts the course of the artist's student days, his travels to Belgium, France, and England--which informed so much of his subsequent painting--and finally his return to his native Dublin. Curators and scholars contributing to the catalogue cast his work as a reflection on Ireland's capital--its citizens, architecture, and green spaces but, more importantly, its status as a city approaching modernization and political transformation. Iconic works from the National Gallery of Ireland, Hugh Lane Gallery, Hunt Museum in Limerick, Crawford Art Gallery in Cork, and private collectors further elaborate those narratives. The result is a rich tapestry of life and art in Ireland at the close of the nineteenth century.This publication accompanies an exhibition at Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, University of Notre Dame, opening in August 2025.
Damien Hirst
Shockingly creative! A groundbreaking collection of Damien Hirst's sketchbooks, drawings, and plans. A tiger shark in formaldehyde. A diamond-encrusted skull. Damien Hirst is one of the most important contemporary artists and a legend in the Young British Artist movement of the 1990s. Since the early 1980s, Hirst has planned his iconic paintings, sculptures, and installations through drawings and sketchbooks, and these can now be seen in a museum exhibition for the first time. These works provide an opportunity to glance over the shoulder of a great contemporary artist in the middle of his creative process. Since the early 1980s, Damien Hirst has used drawings and sketches to plan his celebrated works. Hirst has also created drawings to accompany his paintings and sculptures, to help visualize their core ideas. Among his designs are a drawing machine and the graphic work of fictitious old masters. In this superbly produced new volume, which retains the character of a sketchbook, a star artist reveals a new aspect to his oeuvre.
