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 6/13/2026 Out 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.
CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/12/2026 The world has lost one of the great figurative painters of the twentieth century, and one of its most influential Pop artists. Featured here, David Hockney’s 2020 iPad drawing “10th September 2020,” from a series made in his later adopted home of Normandy, France. “I even caught the new moon,” he says of this work, in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist. “The last full moon was a fantastic moon, bigger and brighter than anything, and it cast shadows on the grass. And I got that down. I woke up at 4 A.M. for a pee, saw it out of the window, grabbed the iPad and drew it. Then I went back to bed an hour after drawing it.”
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/11/2026Featured image—of an SG-100 graphic equalizer, Aurex stereo amplifier model and Aurex AT-1000MK II audio digital timer from the collection of Japanese artist, designer, musician and creative director NIGO—is reproduced from new release NIGO: From Japan with Love, published to accompany the current exhibition at The Design Museum, London. Collecting key items and ephemera from NIGO’s personal collection—from childhood toys to iconic post-war American streetwear to his own designs for A Bathing Ape, Kenzo, Nike, Nintendo and other brands—this 224-page paperback documents the deep-cut cultural references that informed one of the most influential designers across contemporary culture. This stereo system, for example, belonged to NIGO’s brother. “It’s like catching air,” he says of the creative process. “Not an easy thing to define!”

 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/9/2026Featured photograph—made by Milton H. Greene in 1955—is from new release Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait, published to accompany the centennial exhibition on view now at National Portrait Gallery, London. Collecting 225 reproductions and essays by a host of contemporary writers, this book goes beyond the triumph and the tragedy to the “tilted fairytale” of the universal. “Marilyn has something for everyone,” Lena Dunham writes. “If you feel you are caged by male perceptions of your beauty, she is a cautionary tale. And yet if you feel your body is too big, too wild, or too different, she let the curves that spoke louder than she could show through clingy fabrics. If you feel you are not taken seriously by the powers that be, Marilyn is someone who never became the actress, poet or painter she was in her private time. And if you want to prove that a sex kitten can powerfully shift the culture, there she is, singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to the president who happened to be her erstwhile lover. … She is everywhere. And despite being everywhere, with something for everyone, she had something just for me. Her story was a tilted fairytale I could wear like a locket, believing—as so many have believed—that the ways in which I saw her were different.”
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/7/2026Featured spreads are from Pride Month Staff Pick Love & Lightning: A Collection of Queer-Feminist Manifestos, co-published by Valiz and Girls Like Us magazine. “‘Manifesto’ is always, already slipping away from us,” editors Jessica Gysel and Sara Kaaman write in their Introduction; “morphing, changing, in never-ending transformation. A text is a portal to a specific time, place, and lived experience. Compressing wild writing and revolutions and dreams into neatly designed, typeset pages will always feel a little bit like violence. The violence of uniformity, the violence of anthologizing. But we do this work for the archives—for those who come after us, to find these words held together. The reaching never ends: reaching for a different world, reaching for peace, reaching for fair wages, reaching beyond capitalism, colonialism, extractivism. Reaching into the earth, for soil to kiss. Love is in the reaching. Dry tinder burns easily. What dries us up? Capitalism and all that—‘an utter bore.’ All that’s needed is a strike of lightning. A spark. Consider this book a spark. Use it to burn. Soft fires in your heart, large fires to make heat and change.”
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/3/2026Published out of Chicago during the DIY heyday of 1989 through 1993, THING magazine circulated throughout queer Black underground culture the old-fashioned way: by hand, mail and word of mouth. Today, like many of its early contributors—including Vaginal Davis, Larry Heard, Essex Hemphill and RuPaul—it is legendary. Built around the explosive early-90s house music scene, THING featured musicians, DJs, writers, artists, activists, performers and gossip alongside crucial information about the HIV/AIDS crisis that was decimating the community. Now, for the first time, all ten original issues of the magazine have been brought together in one facsimile reissue. Published by Primary Information, this pitch-perfect 460-page paperback arrives at just the right moment, as we find so many of our most beautiful, irrepressible, self-defined cultures again under pressure and in crisis. Contributions by editors Robert Ford, Trent Adkins and Lawrence Warren, plus likeminded luminaries including Lady Bunny, Bill Coleman, Dennis Cooper, Deee-Lite, Lyle Ashton Harris, Steve Lafreniere, Michael Musto, Ultra Naté, David Sedaris, David Wojnarowicz and Hector Xtravaganza, among many others.
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/2/2026Tuesday, June 2, from 6–8 PM, Gregory R. Miller & Co., Greene Naftali Gallery and Cora Cohen Trust celebrate the launch of 'Cora Cohen'—the first comprehensive monograph on the artist's work—at the Bowery Poetry Club. Raphael Rubinstein will moderate a panel with Sharon Butler, Rebecca Ness and Barbara MacAdam.
CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/1/2026 Collecting all seven issues of Paul Mpagi Sepuya’s highly collectible self-published zine—in circulation 2005–2008— Paul Mpagi Sepuya: SHOOT is our choice to lead off Pride Month 2026. (See more Staff Picks here.) “I met ALEX through mutual friends almost a year ago,” Sepuya writes in Volume 2, March 2005. “He is one of those people with such striking features that you never forget him, but sometimes can’t quite place where you’ve seen him before. When I met him I knew that I’d have to take his portrait.”
 LACY SOTO | DATE 5/30/2026Saturday, May 30 at 3 PM, Artbook @ Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles Bookstore presents Laurenz Brunner and Ben Schwartz in conversation for the LA launch of 'Dictionary of the Illegible,' forthcoming from Source Type.
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 5/28/2026Renowned American street photographer Joel Meyerowitz and his wife, the artist, musician and writer Maggie Barrett, moved to Tuscany in 2012. A few years later, Meyerowitz began his monumental (yet paradoxically intimate) project to document every object used by Italian still life painter Giorgio Morandi in his famed Bologna studio, Casa Morandi. These photographs were collected in a beloved 2016 edition from Damiani, which quickly sold out. Now, painting and photography lovers have reason to rejoice, as Damiani has come out with an expanded edition, including 84 additional pages and more than 130 new photographs, a new essay by Amanda Renshaw and an updated biography. As Barrett writes in her essay, “one master paying homage to another.” Featured photograph is Aqua Vase (2015).

 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 5/22/2026“On the prairie there is sometimes a quiet so absolute that it allows one to begin again, to love the future.” So Robert Adams is quoted in this evocative new book of painted wood blocks based on memories of his childhood in rural Colorado. Best known for his photographs of the Western landscape and his philosophical writings on photography, beauty and the environment, Adams took up this body of work during the pandemic, when he discovered some tools left behind by his father and grandfather. On this Memorial Day weekend, we appreciate their quiet American optimism.
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 5/21/2026Join us May 21–22, 2026, for MSA Forward, the annual conference of the Museum Store Association.

 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 5/20/2026When it comes to cat photography, there really is no one better than Walter Chandoha. He got his start in the late-1940s after returning from his stint as a combat photographer during World War II. Though many fans know his iconic color photography well, very few have seen his earliest black-and-white pictures of his first family cats, which are gathered in this concise new release from Damiani. “What a wonderful life Walter must have had, surrounded by all his muses,” Grace Coddington writes in her Introduction. “Seen through Walter’s lens you feel each cat personality beaming out, an endless supply of leaping, bounding, yawning kittens at his disposal. I envy him!!” Featured here, a photograph captioned “Long Island, 1955.”
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 5/19/2026Featured poster is from fierce pussy, a new release this week from Primary Information and one of our Staff Picks for Pride Month 2026. This spiral-bound, 11 x 17-inch volume collects more than 30 tear-off posters from the trailblazing 1990s lesbian collective known for their activist, wheat-pasted graphic interventions. “Adamantly fast, lo-tech and low-budget, we relied on our own modest resources,” they write. “We used our old typewriters, our own baby pictures, and whatever material we could get donated. We used equipment at our day jobs to produce the work. Emerging during a decade steeped in the urgency of the AIDS crisis and LGBTQ+ activism, fierce pussy brought Queer identity directly into the streets.” They conclude by encouraging the reader to tear the book apart and share it with the public. “Feel free to share, post, copy, distribute, wheatpaste and circulate these posters.”
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 5/19/2026Tuesday, May 19, at 6 PM, Rizzoli Bookstore presents a conversation between photographer Pieter Henket and editor Justin Gaspar to celebrate Henket's new book, 'Birds of Mexico City,' a collection of beautiful portraits of young people in Mexico City, interweaving themes of gender, sexuality, heritage and self-expression.

 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 5/13/2026New from Toronto artist and writer Derek McCormack and San Francisco publisher Cushion Works, a book designed to offend Ole Nashville and confound the rest of us—in the best possible way. An auction catalogue-esque, bright yellow paperback with generous flaps and surprising spot varnish on the nicely isolated cover images, this unjustifiably appealing and darkly satirical / vampirical artist’s book documents “100s of pieces of shit priced & pictured” that purport to have been designed by SEX and Sex Pistols provocateurs Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood in the 1950s to service a clan of bloodsucking hillbillies who then preyed upon the unsuspecting stars of Music City. “These hillbilly vampires in 1950 … they were so punk, so Podunk … so we created a collection for them and called it Hillbilly Heaven,” McLaren (supposedly) writes in the Foreword. Pictured here: Item AC-4499–J, Punk Fangs #1 (plastic fangs, safety pins, jump ring).
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 5/11/2026Behold, the reality of yesteryear’s Soviet Scientific Institutes, as documented by French photographer Eric Lusito in this newest release in FUEL’s acclaimed series on Soviet architectural relics. Housed in a tactile hardcover with laser-cut patterns based on antiquated, punched-paper computer tape, the volume spans the Baltic nations, Ukraine, Central Asia and East Central Europe, but does not include sites in territories that are still under authoritarian rule: Russia, Azerbaijan and Belarus. Pictured here: the Big Solar Furnace of the Institute of Materials Science, Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, comprised of 10,700 mirrors that focus light from an array of heliostats onto a single focal point; the Carl Zeiss telescope pavilion in Kazakhstan, opened in 1981 and currently under reconstruction; and the Ukrainian T-Shaped Radio Telescope (Second Modification) antenna control panel a few weeks before the 2022 Russian invasion.
