From New York Times bestselling author and 15-time GRAMMY (R)
Award-winning artist Alicia Keys comes a new authentic and poignant
coming-of-age young adult graphic novel, about finding the strength
within when your whole world changes in an instant. Lolo Wright
always thought she was just a regular fourteen-year-old dealing
with regular family drama: her brother, James, is struggling with
his studies; her dad's business constantly teeters on the edge of
trouble; and her mother . . . she left long ago. But then Lolo's
world explodes when a cop pulls a gun on James in a dangerous case
of mistaken identities. Staring down the barrel, with no one else
to help, Lolo discovers powers she never knew she had. Using only
her mind, she literally throws the cop out of the way. Problem is
that secrets like Lolo's don't stay a secret for long. Skin, a
dangerous dealer with designs on taking over the neighborhood,
hears of Lolo's telekinetic abilities and decides that he needs her
in his crew. Skin might not have Lolo's powers, but he's got
nothing to lose and is willing to do whatever it takes to get what
he wants. And what he wants is Lolo. Lolo's not willing to let Skin
use her to hurt the people-and neighborhood-that she loves. But
it's going to take a whole different kind of bravery to stand-up
for what's right, especially after Lolo's mom returns suddenly and
turns Lolo's whole world upside-down. For too long, it's true,
Lolo's had her head in the clouds, but this time, it's on her . . .
and she's not backing down. Girl on Fire is a young adult graphic
novel about a girl who's a flame. It's the first-ever graphic novel
from beloved GRAMMY (R) Award-winning artist Alicia Keys,
co-written by Andrew Weiner and illustrated by Brittney Williams.
In 2015 the Renaissance Society presented an exhibition of newly
commissioned works by Los Angeles-based artist Mathias Poledna.
Coinciding with the museum's centennial, it marked the final show
in the institution's first hundred years. For this project Poledna
used the notion of iconoclasm and its various historical contexts
as a conceptual backdrop for two new works: a 35-mm film
installation, co-produced with and premiering at the Renaissance
Society, and a substantial alteration to the gallery space: the
demolition, dismantling and removal of the gallery's ceiling
structure, a steel truss grid that had horizontally bisected the
double-height gallery since 1967. This catalog--featuring a cover
designed by artist Peter Downsbrough--documents the exhibition and
its installation, and in doing so celebrates a century of the
Renaissance Society.
When the wife of renowned art critic Daniel Lichtmann plunges to
her death, she is not alone. Lying next to her is Benjamin Wind,
the very artist Daniel most championed. Dedicating himself to
uncovering the secrets of their relationship, Daniel discovers a
web of mysteries leading back to pre--World War II Vienna.
Ambitious, haunting, and stunningly written, "The Marriage Artist"
is an "elaborate psycho-political-sexual puzzle, with...hard
truths, startling visions, and eerie insights into the mystical and
memorializing powers of art, and that endless hunger we call love"
("Booklist").
