By the time of his conversation with Payne, the seventy-three-year-old artist had long been dissatisfied with the efforts not only of writers but also of other photographers to represent or interpret his sculptures. This dissatisfaction had led him, decades earlier, to become the exclusive photographer of his own work and his late-life remark to Payne underscores his fierce protectiveness over how his sculpture met the public eye and on whose terms. Although Brancusi did not consider his photographs works of art, they served multiple purposes: They were circulated to clients and friends, published in books and magazines, and employed as a private means of studying variation, movement, and change. The resulting photographic corpus establishes him as one of the twentieth century’s great sculptor-photographers, and his embrace of the camera reflects his singular modernity and relationship to machine-age technology. This, even as he used photography to document works that aspired to timelessness, universality, and transcendence of the particularities of time and place.” So begins Anne Umland’s essay in Brancusi: The Artist and His Studio, MoMA’s gorgeous new collection of 136 duotone photographs taken by the artist over the course of four decades, published to accompany the landmark exhibition of Brancusi’s relocated Paris studio, on view now through February 2027 at the Museum.

Published by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2026 | STAFF PICKS | FROM THE SHELVES Halloween Horror, 2026 | |  FEATURED STORE Located in Chinatown, Yu and Me Books is the first Asian American queer-owned bookstore in NYC. It’s also a café and bar that draws readers who want to imbibe in the company of the strong, diverse voices of the local community and who appreciate the centering of immigrant stories. Owner (and chemical engineer) Lucy Yu opened the store out of a desire to create a space where book lovers could dream together, share their passion, strive for change and push systems closer to justice. Having experienced lack of representation within the literary space herself, she’s made it her goal to create an environment where everyone feels welcomed and heard. “It’s something special to read a story that you relate to and see yourself represented after a lifetime of not being able to.” | | | NEW RELEASES For the complete list of new monographs, museum exhibition catalogues, artists' books, visual arts journals, and trade titles shipping this week, go to What's New? |  | D.A.P.ISBN: 9781636811482 USD $39.95 | CAD $54.95 UK £ 32Pub Date: 11/10/2026 Active | In stock |

|  FEATURED PUBLISHER For lovers of nineteenth-century literature, a more dynamic and impassioned small literary press cannot be found. Founded in 2022 by budding art historian Madeline Porsella (at the time a PhD student at Yale) and Mabel Capability Taylor (design historian moonlighting in The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Capital Projects Department), Mandylion has developed a worldwide cult following for its iconic and thoughtfully-designed paperback publishing program exclusively focused on the retrieval of forgotten or out-of-print nineteenth-century books by women and eccentric writers. Their podcast, 1-800-1800, dives further into period art, culture, history and scandal. | | | | | CURATED ART LIBRARIES Curated Libraries by Movement and Subject Area
