Bruce Conner Brass Handles

Just in time for the major Bruce Conner retrospective currently on view at MoMA, J&L Books has published a book unlike any other. Featuring photographs by Jason Fulford and text by the artist's wife, Jean Conner, taken from an interview with collaborate art project Will Brown, the book documents the 163 solid brass handles which Conner placed throughout his house after he began to have mobility issues related to liver disease. "I didn't know quite what to do with all these things after Bruce died," Jean Conner is quoted. "And somebody said, well, they're house jewelry."
