March Avery: A Life in Color is the first monograph on the New
York-based painter March Avery. Documenting the artist's practice
of more than 80 years, the book features three newly commissioned
texts and some 200 images.Avery was born in 1932 to the painters
Milton Avery and Sally Michel, and began painting as a child. As
she says, "I think I was painting in utero." The dividing line
between life and art was blurred during her upbringing, as is
reflected in the subject matter of her work: everyday domestic
scenes, portraits of friends and family members, and landscapes
visited and revisited over the course of a lifetime.Avery's oil
paintings, sketches and watercolors are known for their flat
picture planes, interlocking shapes and simplicity of forms. The
artist's mastery of colour brings life, immediacy of place and
emotional depth to her compositions, as March Avery: A Life in
Color illustrates, beautifully.The book also includes articles by
writers/critics Johanna Fateman, Lynne Tillman and John Yau, whose
texts explore and animate Avery's life and work.

For the past two decades, young women (and men) have found their
way to feminism through Riot Grrrl - more than a genre, but a
movement in its own right. Against the backdrop of the culture wars
and before the rise of the Internet or desktop publishing, the
'zine and music culture of the Riot Grrrl movement empowered young
women to speak out against sexism and oppression. The movement
created a powerful new force of liberation and unity within and
outside of the women's movement. This is a collection of the
original material of the Riot Grrrl movement.
A sweeping selection of Donald Judd's iconic and ambitious works
alongside a diverse collection of newly commissioned writings. "One
of the most significant American artists of the postwar period,
Donald Judd rigorously experimented with color, form, material, and
space. The works in this catalogue range from the artist's
expansive installations to self-contained single units, yielding
valuable new insights into his process and approach. The survey
includes one of the artist's largest and most intricate
installations of sixty-three wall-mounted plywood boxes, conceived
in 1986. Other works include variations on some of Judd's most
recognizable forms, executed in materials such as Cor-ten steel,
plexiglass, copper, plywood, brushed aluminum, and enameled
aluminum. Brilliant and exacting reproductions bring these works to
life on the page. Following the artist's major retrospective at The
Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 2020, this book serves as a
companion volume. With contributions from a wide range of
voices-art historians, critics, writers, and performers- this
publication includes rich new writings on Judd's oeuvre, art
criticism, and enduring influence. Artworks: 1970-1994 is published
on the occasion of the eponymous 2020 exhibition at David Zwirner,
New York."
Selections from the work of radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin,
famous for her antipornography stance and role in the feminist sex
wars of the 1980s. Radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin was a
caricature of misandrist extremism in the popular imagination and a
polarizing figure within the women's movement, infamous for her
antipornography stance and her role in the feminist sex wars of the
1980s. She still looms large in feminist demands for sexual
freedom, evoked as a censorial demagogue, more than a decade after
her death. Among the very first writers to use her own experiences
of rape and battery in a revolutionary analysis of male supremacy,
Dworkin was a philosopher outside and against the academy who wrote
with a singular, apocalyptic urgency. Last Days at Hot Slit brings
together selections from Dworkin's work, both fiction and
nonfiction, with the aim of putting the contentious positions she's
best known for in dialogue with her literary oeuvre. The collection
charts her path from the militant primer Woman Hating (1974), to
the formally complex polemics of Pornography (1979) and Intercourse
(1987) and the raw experimentalism of her final novel Mercy (1990).
It also includes "Goodbye to All This" (1983), a scathing chapter
from an unpublished manuscript that calls out her feminist
adversaries, and "My Suicide" (1999), a despairing long-form essay
found on her hard drive after her death in 2005.
