Jeannette Montgomery Barron: My Years in the 1980s
New York Art Scene Published by Silvana Editoriale.
Text by John Ahearn, James Barron, Mike Bidlo, Ross Bleckner, James Brown, Sandro Chia, Enzo Cucchi, Peter Halley, Annette Lemieux, Peter McGough, Jeannette Montgomery Barron, Luigi Ontani. Almost more a diary than a monograph, Jeannette Montgomery Barron's My Years in the 1980s is a collection of photographs taken in studios, apartments and clubs, accompanied by Barron's notes, letters and mementos from New York in the 1980s, presented in the familiar format of a Moleskine notebook. Barron arrived in New York in the late 1970s, and her photographs offer a glimpse of the burgeoning East Village art scene through portraits of its protagonists, Barron's friends and peers: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Eric Fischl, Peter Halley, Keith Haring, Jenny Holzer, Robert Mapplethorpe, Cindy Sherman and Andy Warhol, among many others.
