| | | Jay DeFeo: Photographic WorkEdited with introduction by Leah Levy. Text by Hilton Als, Judith Delfiner, Corey Keller, Justine Kurland, Dana Miller, Catherine Wagner.
 A revelatory trove of innovative photo collages, photograms, photographs and photocopies—many never before published—most reproduced at the size DeFeo printed themThis monograph on the legendary and influential artist Jay DeFeo features over 150 photographic works—many never before published—most reproduced at the size the artist printed them. After the completion of her monumental masterpiece The Rose in 1966, DeFeo moved from the heart of artistic activity in San Francisco to a small house in Marin County, California. There she embarked on a focused and rigorous exploration with the camera. For much of the 1970s, she used the camera as a tool to look and think with, creating a wide range of black-and-white photographs she processed in her darkroom. The artist used experimental photographic techniques to produce extraordinary artworks, alongside documentary images of her studio and paintings in process. Her contact sheets, some of which are reproduced here, are often filled with multiple views of one object, revealing the way DeFeo looked and sketched with the lens. In 1972 she wrote: "My interest in photography has always paralleled my expression as a painter."
Essays by Hilton Als, Judith Delfiner, Corey Keller, Justine Kurland, Dana Miller and Catherine Wagner survey the rich materiality, sculptural layering and illusionistic devices of DeFeo’s playful and enigmatic photographic works, illuminating her astonishing range and daring experimentation with the medium.
Jay DeFeo (1929–89) was a Bay Area artist who created an original and provocative body of work, including the iconic painting The Rose (1958–66). In the 1970s and 1980s, DeFeo continued her visionary work in a range of mediums, including works on paper, photography, collage and photocopies. Among many other exhibitions, a retrospective of her work was organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and traveled to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2012.
"Untitled" (1973) is reproduced from 'Jay DeFeo: Photographic Work.'PRAISE AND REVIEWSThe New York Times: Arts Arthur Lubow Hardly shown publicly in her lifetime, her remarkable photos are featured in a just-published monograph, “Jay DeFeo: Photographic Work” Cultured Kat Herriman DeFeo was not just a monumental painter, but also an ingenious photographer who pushed the medium past its limits to create images that undermine our sense of certainty. Brooklyn Rail Caws Mary Ann It’s chock-a-block with images perhaps a bit glitzy at times, but always welcome: given the expanse of the imagination into the visual from the verbal or the other way. Collector Daily Loring Knoblauch Whether we deem them surreal, poetic, or just slightly eerie or strange hardly matters; what’s important is the tension and friction that she starts to find, and later to more overtly construct. New Yorker Vince Aletti Their intimacy is seductive; the closer you get to each work, the more intriguing and unsettling it is. |

Collecting almost 200 photo collages, photograms, photographs and photocopies—many published here for the first time—by the legendary Bay Area artist, this beautifully produced hardcover features writing by an all-star cast including Leah Levy, Judith Delfiner, Corey Keller, Justine Kurland, Dana Miller, Catherine Wagner and Hilton Als, who writes, “And what would we do without Jay DeFeo, who is only partly alive because she dares us to look at the work and make sense of that sofa covered in netting, or the empty picture frame with the broken wire, or the telephone with the white bulb that burns brightly in the imagination? What can any of these images mean? Are they images of DeFeo’s idea of sculpture, or sculptural elements? What can she mean by those teeth, that shoe? Let us enter her pictures subtly and swiftly together and take from them what we will, freely, as we revel in the eye of DeFeo the beholder. Behold.” continue to blog | |  | DelMonico Books/The Jay DeFeo FoundationISBN: 9781636811116
