Inspector gadget Lee Scratch Perry, the upsetting upsetter, who make music better.” So said Lee Scratch Perry, and so he is quoted by John Corbett in Lee Scratch Perry: Black Ark, back in stock after the immediate sell-through of our first shipment in May. Weighing in at 667 pages and featuring printed edges that replicate Perry’s handwriting, this must-have archive collects and collages nearly 300 photographs and handmade articles of ephemera from Perry’s infamous Kingston studio and gathering place. “Due to the perpetual twists and turns of an overactive mind that was driven by unseen spiritual forces, the Black Ark’s décor was seldom static,” David Katz writes. That wild genius is reflected in every spread of this historic preservation project. DATE 6/18/2026 The New York KnicksToday, as all the city, all the country and all the world celebrates NYC and the New York Knicks, (!!!!!!!), we could think of no better image to feature on our homepage. Designed by Michael Doret in 1991, the official Knicks logo might be the most iconic symbol in the world on this day. Definitely in New York City. We are in awe and in ecstasy. DATE 6/13/2026 'Fire Island Modernist'—architectural goldmine and a portal to a lost generationOut now in an expanded edition, Christopher Rawlins’ perennial summertime best-seller, Fire Island Modernist: Horace Gifford and the Architecture of Seduction is, technically, a serious, scholarly architecture book on one of the great overlooked designers of the twentieth century. It’s also a sexy and expansive cultural history of the narrow but mighty barrier island that has become forever known as a joyful, permissive summer paradise for queer New Yorkers of every stripe. “In rediscovering Gifford’s architecture, I also found a portal to a lost generation,” Rawlings writes, “truncated by AIDS and winnowed by the passage of time, but still resonant with artistic and cultural significance.” Pictured here, Water Games (1937) by Herbert List. |
