A New York Times best art book of 2021 "[A] gold mine of a book . .
. Funny, biting, morbid, it's a page-turner for sure."-Holland
Cotter, New York Times Ray Johnson (1927-1995) was a renowned maker
of meticulous collages whose works influenced movements including
Pop Art, Fluxus, and Conceptual Art. Emerging from the
interdisciplinary community of artists and poets at Black Mountain
College, Johnson was extraordinarily adept at using social
interaction as an artistic endeavor and founded a mail art network
known as the New York Correspondence School. Drawing on the vast
collection of Johnson's work at the Art Institute of Chicago, this
volume gives new shape to our understanding of his artistic
practice and features hundreds of pieces that include artist's
books, collages, drawings, mail art, and performance documentation.
In keeping with Johnson's democratic, rhizomatic, and
antihierarchical ethos, this indispensable resource on the artist's
oeuvre contains 700 illustrations, many of them never before
published, and twenty-one short essays by various contributors that
allow readers to dip into and out of the book in a nonlinear
manner. Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago Exhibition

A beautifully illustrated look at the work of one of today's most
unique and exciting artists Bisa Butler (b. 1973) is an American
artist who creates arresting and psychologically nuanced portraits
composed entirely of vibrantly colored and patterned fabrics that
she cuts, layers, and stitches together. Often depicting scenes
from African American life and history, Butler invites viewers to
invest in the lives of the people she represents while
simultaneously expanding art-historical narratives about American
quiltmaking. Situating her interdisciplinary work within the
broader history of textiles, photography, and contemporary art,
contributions by a group of scholars-and entries by the artist
herself-illuminate Butler's approach to color, use of African-print
fabrics, and wide-ranging sources of inspiration. Offering an
in-depth exploration of one of America's most innovative
contemporary artists, this volume will serve as a primary resource
that both introduces Butler's work and establishes a scholarly
foundation for future research. Distributed for the Art Institute

An eye-opening presentation of largely unknown figurative drawings
by a renowned pioneer of abstraction Featuring one hundred
figurative works on paper by Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015), this
volume shows a new side of an artist best known for abstraction.
These informal depictions of friends and expressive
self-portraits—all rarely or never previously displayed or
published—span the entirety of Kelly’s career, from the
mid-1940s to the early 2000s. Throughout his life, Kelly made
portraits as a means of keeping his hand adept at drawing, which
provided a place to test his ideas, refine his bold use of lines,
and interrogate the space between naturalism and abstraction. These
works also capture his social milieu, which intersected with other
creative circles and the queer community. He painstakingly recorded
how his own appearance changed over time, and once described some
of these sketches by saying, “I use myself in order to draw.”
The accompanying critical essays unpack the ways in which such
intimate efforts were fundamental to Kelly’s practice and situate
this important aspect of his work within the artist’s wider
oeuvre. Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago Exhibition

Dog and Cat were best friends. Since Dog was bigger than Cat, he
assumed that his brain was bigger than Cat's brain. So, Dog
believed that he, alone, could do the thinking for both of them.
When Cat decided that he did not want Dog to make decisions for
him, the chase began. Who was right? Who was wrong? What would you
have done? You decide.
