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.”DATE 3/15/2024 Vintage girl power in ‘Las Mexicanas’Featured spreads are from new release Las Mexicanas, RM’s small but mighty paperback album of found photographs of Mexican women in positions of power, play and perhaps even seduction from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1960s. How we love it! Essayist Brenda Navarro writes, “What is Mexico without the women who have been born in this land? What would be of this country without many of them, who have birthed the Manichaean concept of a nation that has been obliged to live beneath the heavens, in which every person seems to be destined to be a soldier? As Agota Kristof wrote in her novel, The Notebook (1987), women are the ones who carry the weight of wars: ‘Have we seen nothing? Idiot! We women have all the work and all the worries: children to feed, wounded to tend… You men, once the war is over, are all heroes. The dead: heroes. The survivors: heroes. The maimed: heroes. That’s why you invented war. It’s your war. You wanted it, so get on with it—heroes my ass!’”DATE 3/15/2024 A gorgeous and compelling new exploration of bodega culture from rising star, Tschabalala Self“Bayo” (2017) is reproduced from hot new release Tschabalala Self: Bodega Run, edited by Sascha Bonét, designed by Pacific and published by Gregory R. Miller & Co. A remarkable publication that has been flying off shelves since the moment it arrived in our warehouses, this clothbound hardcover with zine insert features paintings, sculpture and installation works related to Self’s multiyear examination and celebration of the bodega—underrecognized “hood institution” of NYC Black and Brown communities. Self writes, “There are many inspiring and positive aspects of bodega culture, mainly the fact that these small, versatile businesses are, and always have been, owned by people of color to serve communities of color. The bodega also functions as a multicultural space within the Black diaspora, a space where individuals of African descent, from the Americas and abroad, share both social and financial interactions. … The bodega is both positive and problematic, and through this complexity its significance arises. The culture of the bodega is a reflection of so many aspects of Black and Brown city life. For this reason, the bodega is the perfect avatar by which to speak on the community at large."DATE 3/14/2024 Celebrate Pi Day with 'Einstein: The Man and His Mind'DATE 3/1/2024 Let’s hear it for the female gaze!DATE 2/15/2024 Next-level Ellsworth KellyDATE 2/14/2024 Vintage ValentineDATE 2/10/2024 Enter the Year of the Dragon with ‘Cultivated Stones’DATE 2/1/2024 Kerry James Marshall, redefining BlacknessDATE 1/30/2024 A comprehensive new monograph on Sarah CrownerDATE 1/25/2024 Hot Book Alert!
