"Walking between these figures feels like an interruption; being a
spectator is itself a performance. They seem to know more than we
do, about the status of being an artwork and the place of the
viewer. The joke, if there is one, is on us." - The Guardian
Munoz's revolutionary oeuvre creates emotional and evocative
narratives through sculpture, installation, drawing, writing, and
sound. Situating viewers between his work and amongst each other,
he creates an intimacy between works of art and viewers. Munoz
thought deeply about art history and in particular the tradition of
Spanish painting. Before his untimely death at the age of
forty-eight, he produced an extensive, powerfully evocative body of
work that uniquely explores the narrative and philosophical
possibilities of art. Published on the occasion of the two-floor
exhibition at David Zwirner in New York in 2022, this catalogue
provides an expansive overview of Munoz's career from the 1980s
onwards. In an accompanying text, art historian and curator
Guillaume Kientz contextualizes Munoz's influences within the
art-historical canon. Acclaimed writer Siri Hustvedt writes a
thoughtful response to the artist's iconic Conversation Piece. In
an imagined interview between Munoz and himself, Maurizio Cattelan
further propels the artist's artistic momentum and potential in the
time before his death. Also featured is a never-before-published
interview between Munoz and the art historian Michael Brenson that
took place in 2000, less than one year prior to his untimely death.
A revealing exploration of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo’s genre
paintings and the cultural significance of his depictions of
ordinary people Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617–1682) is best
known for his religious subject matter, yet some of his most iconic
works depict secular themes. Celebrating Murillo’s genre
paintings and shedding new light on the innovative portrayals of
beggars, street urchins, and flower girls in the artist’s
culturally rich narratives of youth and age, romance and seduction,
and faith and charity, this generously illustrated volume features
insightful essays that address Murillo’s art through the lenses
of antiquity, northern culture, portraiture, and diversity in the
city of Seville. The catalogue also contains detailed commentaries
on the more than fifty works included in the exhibition, further
exploring these paintings’ complex meanings to reveal their
importance in their own time and suggest their relevance in our
own. Distributed for the Kimbell Art Museum Exhibition Schedule:

A visually stunning examination of El Greco's work that considers
the artist's constant reinvention and professional drive Renowned
for a singular artistic vision, Domenikos Theotokopoulos, known as
El Greco (1541-1614), developed his distinctive painting style as
he assiduously pursued professional success. This fresh and
engaging survey of El Greco's work explores varied aspects of the
artist's career-his aesthetic education in Italy, the mixed
reception of his mature works in Spain, his uncompromising approach
to business, and the baroque logistics of his Toledo workshop-and
reveals the depth of El Greco's astounding ambition. The impressive
volume focuses in particular on his 1577-79 altarpiece paintings
for the Church of Santo Domingo el Antiguo in Toledo-among them the
magnificent Assumption of the Virgin-which heralded the artist's
arrival in Spain after productive periods of formation and
re-formation in Crete, Venice, and Rome. Lavishly illustrated and
clothbound with gilded edges, this publication features
reproductions and scholarly discussions of more than 60 works
ranging from large-scale canvases to intimate panels, with essays
that elucidate the motives and meanings behind the artist's
constantly changing and inventive approach. Distributed for the Art
