BACK IN STOCK! The landmark first major monograph on nonagenarian surrealist Luchita Hurtado

Featured portrait, made by Oresti Tsonopoulos of artist Luchita Hurtado in her studio in 2019, is reproduced from I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn, the beautiful, clothbound first-major-monograph on the 99-year-old Venezuela-born, California-based painter who is finally getting the recognition she has long deserved. A book that sold out immediately upon its first release in the Spring 2020 season, this essential 256-page volume includes 137 reproductions, an in-depth interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist, wonderful texts by a host of other curators, artists and art historians, and a poetic tribute to "the invisible parts of life" by Hurtado's son, the artist Matt Mullican. "Life with my mother has always been enlightening," he concludes. "She has always engaged us in a world that lays beyond the world that we see around us."
