 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/30/2026“IT IS A REVOLUTION. The FUTURE will favor materials which best solve the problems propounded by the new man. I understand by the NEW MAN the type of individual who keeps pace with scientific thought, who understands his age and lives it: The Aeroplane, the Ocean Liner and the Motor are at his service; Sport gives him health; His House is his resting place. WHAT IS HIS HOUSE TO BE? Hygiene must be considered first: Soap and water. Tidiness: standard cupboards with partitions for these. Rest: resting machines for ease and pleasant repose. Beds: armchairs: chaises longues: Office chairs and tables: Stools, some high and some low: Folding chairs. The French word for furniture, ‘MEUBLES’ comes from the Latin, ‘mobilis’: meaning things that can be moved about. The only things that come into this category are chairs and tables. We have stated the problem; now we must solve it.” This excerpt and 1938 photograph—of French architect and designer Charlotte Perriand’s Montparnasse studio—are from new release Charlotte Perriand: The Art of Dwelling, published to accompany the exhibition on view at Museum der Moderne, Salzburg, through September 13, 2026.
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/26/2026This late-1990s promo poster for the King Tubby heavy dub album At the Controls is reproduced from new release Vintage Reggae Poster Scrap, notably subtitled All You Need Is Dub. Part of the influential Tokyo music label and select store Grand Gallery’s highly collectible Poster Scrap series, this 256-page compendium collects more than 200 rare vintage posters, flyers, advertisements and press photographs from the collection of music producer and DJ Yasushi Ide. “There’s a tactile power in these pages,” British filmmaker, DJ and musician Don Letts writes. “Before social media algorithms and endless event listings, posters and flyers were the way the culture spoke. They were street-level transmissions, as essential as the basslines. They had to grab your attention and pull you in. The smudged ink, the off-register colors, the urgent typography—they weren’t imperfections. They were the pulse and Yasushi captures that vibration perfectly. You can practically hear the bass just by flipping through the pages. And let’s be clear: this isn’t just a book of pretty pictures. It’s resistance at work. Reggae has always been the music of the people, the music of truth, the soundtrack of the marginalized. These posters carry that same spirit. They weren’t polished—they were powerful. They weren’t curated—they were created out of necessity and passion. And they speak louder today because of it.”

 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/23/2026For anyone who has ever visited The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and walked out with one of MoMA’s iconic Artist Quote Totes wishing you could have bought one in every color, with a citation by every artist, MoMA has just answered your call. Featuring short philosophical statements by more than thirty artists—including Ruth Asawa, Constantin Brancusi, Louise Bourgeois, Hilma af Klint, Ed Ruscha, Betye Saar, Carrie Mae Weems and Jack Whitten—Artists Speak: Iconic Quotes on Modern Art is the perfect gift for any art lover. At 6 x 6 inches, it features details from eighteen emblematic artworks from the collection.
CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/20/2026 “I first saw Chantal Akerman’s film Je tu il elle in the early 1980s. It was the first time I saw two women having sex. It was the first time I saw a lesbian artist. I forgot about it until ten years ago when I started feeling the urge to perform with my subjects. Those impulses brought me back to Akerman, who was both a director and an object of her work. What I saw 40 years later was that the film was a dance. [. . .] I had always felt that female artists who inhabited their work were beautiful and female-presenting and that I was forever locked out of being able to exist as a spectacle. Akerman’s body, unlike an actress’, was awkward and performative, vulnerable and powerful in its ordinariness.” So essayist Peggy Phelan quotes photographer and now choreographer and dancer Collier Schorr in Writing a Letter: Akerman Ballet, Act 1, in which Schorr documents her exploration of Akerman’s game-changing 1974 film. Out now from The Song Cave, it features 180 black-and-white images by Schorr, as in this collection translating the third movement, Sugar Duet.
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/19/2026Sunday, July 19, starting with a book signing at at 6:45 PM, Metrograph NYC presents author and photographer Collier Schorr for a special screening to accompany the publication of 'Writing a Letter: Akerman Ballet, Act 1,' a document of Schorr’s work on a ballet inspired by Chantal Akerman’s 'Je tu il elle,' which will be on sale in the lobby along with Akerman’s rapturously received, newly reprinted memoir, 'My Mother Laughs,' also published by The Song Cave. The screening of 'Je tu il elle' at 7:30 PM will be preceded by Schorr’s short film 'Scene 25, Heads to Camera Kissing' (2022).

CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/16/2026 New this week from American Art Catalogues, Francesco Clemente’s gorgeously produced, highly anticipated boxed tarot deck. Collecting 78 cards, each illustrated with watercolor or gouache renderings poetically explained in an enclosed guidebook also written by the artist, the deck includes key symbols and recognizable friends and family in the roles of the Major Arcana. These include Jasper Johns, Philip Glass, Scarlett Johansson and Kiki Smith, to name a few.
CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/13/2026 New from DelMonico Books, Dancing the Revolution: From Dancehall to Reggaetón is published to accompany the exhibition on view now at MCA Chicago. “In colonial contexts, music, dance and other forms of cultural expression are accessible ways to assert sovereignty amid the daily challenges of colonial violence,” Carla Acevedo Yates writes. “These are the ‘politics of enjoyment,’ a collective exercise of the senses, where Black Atlantic cultural performance practices serve as intangible sites in which sovereignty is reimagined and reclaimed. Like the beat of a drum, these practices awaken an essential life force within us. They allow us to access levels of embodied knowledge and joy that are intuitive and move with the improvisatory nature of Caribbean life itself—constantly adjusting and adapting to the sounds, rhythms, and sensations that surround us.” Featured photograph is by Adrian Boot, 1973. It is captioned: “Charlie Ace’s Swing-A-Ling mobile recording shop and studio. Run by Charlie Ace (real name Vernel Dixon), a legendary DJ in the 1970s as well as label owner of “Swing-A-Ling Records.” He worked with many producers including Lee Perry & Studio One. Sadly, Charlie Ace was gunned down, murdered in the early 1980s.”
 LACY SOTO | DATE 7/12/2026Sunday, July 12 at 3 PM, Artbook @ Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles Bookstore presents the L.A. book launch of 'Less Bad,' with artist Karl Haendel in conversation with Andrea Gyorody and Aldy Milliken.

Weisman Museum of Art at Pepperdine University in Spring 2025.
 CORY REYONLDS | DATE 7/11/2026Featured photos are from Joel Sternfeld: Nags Head, a Summertime Staff Pick. Collecting photographs taken while Sternfeld was contemplating a major health crisis, they capture Nags Head, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, in peak, unself-conscious, Summer-of-1975 form. “Delaying surgery,” Sternfeld writes, “I had come to Nags Head, an old beach town floating in time, seeking a sense of temporal and spatial fluidity, a sense of oneirism. After about six weeks of intense work, my idyll was broken by a phone call: my brother Gabriel had died in an automobile accident in Colorado. I returned to New York; I never went back to Nags Head. Two out of my three brothers were now gone.” He grieved and stopped making photographs. Eventually, he found his way to Rockaway Beach in Queens. “And then something happened: a different sense came over me, a heightened color awareness engendered perhaps by all the looking and thought I had given to color. At once, the ugly scene appeared beautiful to me. The hues of the sand and the apartments were the perfect complements to the dusty blue of the sky. Seemingly disparate parts fused into a coherent whole. I made a photograph. Long ago, I had read of a phenomenon which might be described as ‘clear seeing in a clear light.’ Although I cannot now identify the source of this notion, I believe this was such a moment for me. At the time, I had no way of knowing it, but that photograph, made in despair, would eventually shape my entire practice.”

 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/8/2026The Torn Hat, English-American painter Thomas Sully’s 1820 portrait of his nine-year-old son, Thomas Wilcocks Sully, is reproduced from Art in the Americas: Conflict, Culture, and Exchange in the Eighteenth Century, published by MFA Publications on the occasion of America’s 250th. One of 140 color reproductions by artists across the Western hemisphere and made from the 1700s into the 1800s, it is emblematic of a shift in painting style that corresponded with changing definitions of childhood. “Romantic ideas, which emphasized imagination and emotion over the rationality of the Enlightenment period, migrated to the United States from Europe and inspired artists’ attempts to capture the moods and inner lives of their subjects,” Layla Bermeo writes. “As thinkers rejected colonial-era notions of children as incomplete adults and instead viewed young people as innocent and worthy of nurturing, they redefined play as natural and educational. Loosely encircling his head, the boy’s hat is richly suggestive of his own world, filled with physical activity and adventure.… At a time when his portrait sales were declining, raising concerns about how he would continue to make a living, [Thomas] Sully found a fresh artistic approach through his experiences as a father. In the years that followed, his expressive portrayals of children became some of his most highly regarded, and regularly commissioned, works of art.”
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/6/2026Featured spreads are from Gentlemen’s Club, the newest in French photographer François Prost’s series of books documenting regional nightclub architecture. Taken during a road trip across the southern United States from Florida to California, the photographs in this appealingly-sized, 224-page hardcover specifically capture the facades of 200 strip clubs, all centered at medium distance, during the awkward daylight hours. This is landscape photography, social documentary, vernacular architecture and American road trip curiosity, all in one. “The focus for the visual objectives was turned onto the facades,” Prost writes. “I believe they say a lot about our societies. It is possible to study an entire country through its facades and the elements that surround them; names, banners, typography, colors, references... This project intends to paint a portrait of American culture and urban planning. It highlights the geometry, sometimes serious, sometimes colorful, of American road architecture and provides an overview of gender relations in American society.” More in the series here.
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/4/2026For this holiday weekend, we can think of no better book to feature than MFA Publications’ Art in the Americas: Conflict, Culture, and Exchange in the Eighteenth Century, contrasting works from the collection of MFA Boston in order to disrupt concepts of old world versus new, colonizer versus colonized, tradition versus innovation. Pictured here, a storage jar by David Drake, 1857. Co-editor Ethan W. Lasser writes: “In 1857, far from Boston, on a plantation in Edgefield, South Carolina, the enslaved potter Dave (who later took the name David Drake) etched a short poem into the shoulder of a stoneware storage jar. Dave worked under particularly precarious conditions. In South Carolina on the eve of the Civil War, it was illegal for enslaved people to read and write. Yet, like [Paul] Revere, Dave inscribed his name and the date alongside a strongly worded inscription that spoke truth to power: “I made this Jar = for cash / Though its called Lucre trash.” With these lines, Dave announced his role as maker and challenged those that undervalued his labor.”
CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/30/2026 Sometimes a publisher just gets it right. This week, it’s MoMA, whose new survey of Modernist architecture in post-colonial West Africa, Architects of Liberation, captures the euphoric energy of the region’s most visionary designers and builders after hard-won independence. Pictured here, La Pyramide in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, built 1968–73 by architect Rinaldo Olivieri and engineer Riccardo Morandi. “La Pyramide is a hallmark of the Abidjan skyline,” Mallory Cohen writes. “A fifteen-story, truncated pyramid outfitted in aluminum sunshades, the building was a product of the ‘Ivorian miracle’—a period of immense economic prosperity driven by cocoa and coffee exports. La Pyramide was designed as an African market for a new age… [featuring] three underground levels containing a parking garage for 1,800 vehicles, a supermarket and a night club, followed by two floors of boutiques. The upper levels were dedicated to offices and a small number of studio apartments, with the twelfth floor reserved for a restaurant with panoramic views of the surrounding city and Ébrié Lagoon.”

 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/26/2026“They’re all freaks. Outsiders, untouchables. They’re like biographies, the kind of people you’d like to know about. Really interesting and fucked up. It’s what you want to read, the kind of people you stop and notice.” So Greer Lankton is quoted in Pride Month Staff Pick Could It Be Love, published by Magic Hour Press in collaboration with the Greer Lankton Collection and The Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh. Featuring 100 color photographs by Lankton of her iconic doll sculptures in uncanny, real-life scenarios—some glamorous, some humorous, some heartbreaking—this gem of a book also collects an assortment of portraits of Lankton herself, shot by Nan Goldin, Peter Hujar and David Armstrong during her short lifetime, with text by Hilton Als. Featured here, Grandma Tillie.
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/24/2026Wednesday, June 24, at 7 PM, McNally Jackson Seaport presents a celebration of Marcel Duchamp, whose radical vision reshaped art—and the role of the artist—forever. In honor of the landmark exhibition 'Marcel Duchamp'—the first major North American retrospective of the artist’s work in over fifty years—and the accompanying publication, join MoMA curators Ann Temkin and Michelle Kuo, book designer Joseph Logan and artist Josh Kline for an in-depth discussion of Duchamp’s category-defying life and work, and his ongoing legacy and resonance for 21st-century artists.
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/22/2026Back in print at last after a decade-long drought, Kelli Anderson’s delightful This Book is a Camera follows closely upon her breakout 2025 pop-up typography history, Alphabet in Motion. Here, Anderson provides all of the materials necessary to make a DIY pinhole photograph, including a fold-out 4x5-inch analog camera, a lightproof bag, five sheets of light sensitive paper, development instructions requiring only household ingredients and a companion lightmeter app. For paper nerds, photo enthusiasts and the child at heart.
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/19/2026“When I first handled clay … I can’t explain it. It might have felt like someone who was holding their baby for the first time. Immediately, something happened to me. I don’t know why I’m making what I’m making … I have no clue. I don’t know what it’s going to be.” So said the sculptor, activist and Church of the Open Door minister Reverend Joyce McDonald in 2024. A former performer and addict who tested positive for H.I.V. in 1995, the Reverend Joyce McDonald now counsels women in prison and shelters, while exposing and unearthing her own traumas and triumphs in clay. Her work is the subject of a major exhibition at the Bronx Museum, on view through January 11, 2026. Pictured here, one of several figures titled Halleluya Ladies (1998).
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/18/2026“I am the firmament computer, I am the sky computer, I am the orbit computer, I am the space computer. 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.
