A celebration of Houston's Rothko Chapel on its fiftieth
anniversary, featuring work by contemporary artists responding to
its continuing impact Artists and the Rothko Chapel celebrates the
legacy of the Rothko Chapel in Houston and globally, highlighting
how it has inspired artists since its founding in 1971. The
catalogue reflects on the Chapel's past while looking toward its
future, featuring recent work by four contemporary artists-Sam
Gilliam, Sheila Hicks, Shirazeh Houshiary, and Byron Kim-as well as
illustrating the 1975 exhibition Marden, Novros, Rothko: Painting
in the Age of Actuality shown at Rice University. The volume
includes interviews with Brice Marden and David Novros, statements
from the artists about their work's relationship to the Chapel, and
testimonies by local figures reflecting on questions of
spirituality, identity, and equality. With new photography of the
installations and of the recently restored Chapel, this vividly
illustrated catalogue is a testament to the enduring impact of the
non-denominational space Mark Rothko created. Distributed for the

In a practice spanning nearly two decades, Jose Dávila has created
an expressive body of work that explores the visual tropes and
iconic symbols of art, architecture, and urban design. Initially
trained as an architect and self-educated as a visual artist,
Dávila creates sculptures, installations and photographic works
that simultaneously emulate, critique, and pay homage to
20th-century avant-garde art and architecture, referencing artists
and architects from Luis Barragán to Josef Albers and Donald Judd.
Humor and melancholy co-mingle in works that often explore the
tension between industrial and organic materials and the forces of
compression and balance. This monograph assesses the full scope of
Dávila’s practice in all media for the first time, and includes
texts attesting to the historical and social dimensions of
Dávila’s art. Essays address the artist’s early pieces, his
exercises on balance, sculpture, graphics and paintings, and his
works in public space.
An unprecedented survey of artists in exile from the 19th century
through the present day, with notable attention to Asian, Latin
American, African American, and female artists This timely book
offers a wide-ranging and beautifully illustrated study of exiled
artists from the 19th century through the present day, with notable
attention to individuals who have often been relegated to the
margins of publications on exile in art history. The artworks
featured here, including photography, paintings, drawings, prints,
and sculpture, present an expanded view of the conditions of
exile-forced or voluntary-as an agent for both trauma and
ingenuity. The introduction outlines the history and perception of
exile in art over the past 200 years, and the book's four sections
explore its aesthetic impact through the themes of home and
mobility, nostalgia, transfer and adjustment, and identity. Essays
and catalogue entries in each section showcase diverse artists,
including not only European ones-like Jacques-Louis David, Paul
Gauguin, George Grosz, and Kurt Schwitters-but also female, African
American, East Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern artists,
such as Elizabeth Catlett, Harold Cousins, Mona Hatoum, Lotte
Jacobi, An-My Le, Matta, Ana Mendieta, Abelardo Morell, Mu Xin, and
Shirin Neshat. Distributed for the Yale University Art Gallery
