 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 1/28/2026Thursday, January 29, through Sunday, February 15, 2026, the Architecture Center CoAK presents the exhibition 'Archigram: Making a Facsimile,' which was jointly organized and exhibited by D.A.P. and Designers & Books and The Cooper Union in New York in October of 2025.

 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 1/28/2026This week, as all the world watches the Twin Cities, we are pleased to feature a work by Minneapolis-based Lakota artist Dyani White Hawk, whose work is on view now at the Walker Art Center in the landmark mid-career survey, Love Language. “I think about how I want my work to operate in the world,” White Hawk is quoted. “What do I want it to do? What do I want it to do for Native audiences? What do I want it to do for non-Native audiences? What do I want it to do beyond my lifetime, as I send it forward? For me personally, the goal is healing.” Pictured here, Round Dance (2023), is comprised of acrylic, oblong glass beads and synthetic sinew on aluminum panel. “One can view White Hawk’s work as beautiful and grand from a Western cultural perspective,” essayist Heather Ahtone writes. “But one can also choose to engage in the conversation she is offering, a gift from one culture to another, that asks us as participants within the art world to consider our responsibilities as we carry on using the historic values that continue to harm our shared planet and resources. What if we choose to value the earth’s resources responsibly? What if we choose to care for one another over profits? These questions are offered as a gift through the work. White Hawk is asking us to think of our lineage and what we will leave behind to the next generation. Can we value kinship as much as gold?”
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 1/25/2026Just in time for two New York City shows (at Throckmorton Fine Art and Ruiz-Healy), and closely following the ICP’s recent retrospective, Graciela Iturbide: Heliotropo 37 is back in stock from Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris. Featuring a tipped-on cover image and smyth-sewn exposed binding, this luxurious volume presents the influential Mexican photographer’s most iconic black-and-white works alongside previously unpublished photographs and a series of specially-commissioned color photographs. “Photography is not the truth,” Iturbide says in the published interview with Fabienne Bradu. “The photographer interprets reality, he builds his own reality according to what he knows and his emotions. It’s sometimes complicated because it is a slightly schizophrenic phenomenon. Without the camera, you see the world one way, and with it, another way; through this little window, you compose, you dream reality, as if the camera allowed you to synthetize what you are and what you’ve learned about the place. Then, you create your own image, you interpret. The same thing happens to the photographer and the writer alike: it’s impossible to capture life’s truths.”
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 1/22/2026In honor of the 2026 Oscar nominations, announced today, we are featuring a few spreads from Bong Joon Ho: Director's Inspiration—a recently released staff favorite, published by DelMonico Books and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Featuring stills and materials from Okja (2017), Parasite (2019) and Mickey 17 (2025), these spreads only hint at the treasures within, gathered from the director’s personal archive and elucidated upon by Bong himself. “The absurdity of Korean society in itself excites me cinematically,” he writes. “It’s bewildering. When you depict it cinematically, it may look like comedy at first, but it’s actually the most realistic portrayal.” Further along, he is quoted, “My films generally seem to have three components: fear, anxiety and a sense of humor.… At least when we laugh, there’s a feeling that we’re overcoming some kind of horror.”

CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 1/19/2026 Taken circa 1973, Ming Smith’s America Seen Through Stars and Stripes, New York City, NY is reproduced from Black Photojournalism, the catalog to the landmark exhibition on view through Monday, January 19—Martin Luther King Jr. Day—at the Carnegie Museum of Art. Spanning from 1945 through 1984, this powerful 400-page compendium features work by 57 Black photographers, both well known (like Smith, Kwame Brathwaite and Gordon Parks) and overlooked (until now). “One of the most persistently powerful means of resistance that Black photographers have employed is to simply show us as we are,” Deborah Willis writes, “in our full humanity as families, workers, friends, lovers, artists and leaders. These photographers were on the frontlines, focusing their cameras on both the beautiful and the most painful moments in Black neighborhoods and communities…”

 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 1/12/2026Featuring more than 100 artists working from the mid-twentieth century to today—covering decolonialization and the civil rights period across the Diaspora—Ideas of Africa: Portraiture and Political Imagination is an essential examination of the role of portrait photography in the construction of Africa as a political idea. But “Ideas of Africa dispenses with the burden of representation that dominates the popular discourse about the African continent,” MoMA curator Oluremi C. Onabanjo writes, instead highlighting “the full range of creative capacity embedded within the photographic process. … What remains undertheorized in the public sphere—and particularly suited to curatorial forms of meaning-making—is the treatment of political imagination through photographic portraiture. As such, this exhibition aims to unfix the portrait as solely an index of identity. With this approach, Ideas of Africa is indebted to the work of Jennifer Bajorek, who argues that, in the case of city dwellers in Dakar and Bamako, ‘Africans’ embrace of photography was a key factor in expanding the existing spaces of political imagination . . . . [I]n the middle decades of the twentieth century, west Africans took full advantage of this expanded imaginative field. They used photography to open new routes and relays of communication; they creatively exploited its infinite capacities for recirculation and resignification; and they used its remarkable plasticity, lack of fixity, and aesthetic and referential open-endedness to reimagine, and remake, their world.” As we continue to witness transformative shifts in the global geopolitical order, it is useful to revisit a moment in history that saw the disintegration of colonial territories and the formation of transnational solidarity across the African continent and the African Diaspora. Ideas of Africa locates dazzling modes of Pan-African possibility in images made by inventive photographers who registered and beckoned new worlds.”
CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 1/11/2026 More than a decade before William Eggleston made his first color photograph, German-born medical photographer Fred Herzog emigrated to Canada and began walking the streets of Vancouver, documenting the people, the places, and the color compositions that they created together. At a time when art photography existed exclusively in black-and-white, he quietly traveled by foot around his adopted hometown, making forays into the United States, Barbados, Curaçao, Guatemala and Mexico, producing an astonishing body of color photographs that were not known to the world until he was 76 years old, in 2007, when The Vancouver Art Gallery held the first major retrospective of his work. Pictured here, “Mom and Son, Halifax” (1969) from new release Fred Herzog: A Color Legacy.
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 1/5/2026Untitled (Many-Eyed Form) (1945) is reproduced from new release The Lost World: The Art of Minnie Evans, published to accompany the exhibition on view now at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art. The first major survey of Evans’ divinely inspired works on paper since the 1990s, this is, amazingly, the only book in print on this important self-taught artist. “In March 1971,” curator Katherine Jentleson writes, “Minnie Evans sat for a rare interview with Celestine Ware, a Black feminist author and activist. At the time, Ware was producing a radio series on Black women artists, and she’d become fascinated by the work of Evans, who was still four years shy of her breakthrough solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art but increasingly well known outside her home¬town of Wilmington, North Carolina. ‘What is the lost world of Minnie Evans?’ Ware asks near the end of the interview. Initially, Evans appears reluctant to answer: ‘I don’t know about that,’ she demurs. But Ware continues to press, and eventually, Evans relents, explaining that she has been experiencing visions her entire life, including ones involving the Great Flood described in the Book of Genesis. ‘Nations have been destroyed,’ she says. ‘And a lot of [the] pictures that God has given me [he’d] brought back from different nations […] according to the Bible there is thousands of nations that’s been destroyed and nobody knew anything about them.’”
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 1/1/2026Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1977. “Studio 54,” by Waring Abbott, is from D.A.P. Best of 2025 Staff Pick I Hear Music in the Streets, ace photo editor Guillermo M. Ferrando’s cannot-put-it-down street photography collection, published by La Fábrica. Spanning the highly photogenic years 1969 to 1989, and touching down in every borough of the city, from the Bronx to Staten Island, this is a love letter to NYC subcultures, to music and to that ineffable, decisive moment in all great street photography. Featuring everyone from Andy Warhol to Susan Meiselas, Nan Goldin and Jamel Shabazz, it’s a book for every New Yorker with an eye or an ear for the people. “New York in the 1970s and 1980s, mythology has it, was a crumbling, crime-ridden, garbage-swamped disaster zone, a hellhole where nobody in their right mind would want to live,” essayist Tim Lawrence writes. “This version of New York history has been repeated so many times it’s become common sense. Yet the photos included in this book depict a city that, far from enduring a catastrophic and humiliating fall, brimmed with humanity, energy, even joy.”
 CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 1/1/2026“Desert Plant” (1965) is from Ruth Asawa: The Tamarind Prints, published as a gem-like accompaniment to the full career retrospective on view through February 7, 2026, at MoMA. Collecting the entire portfolio of 54 prints made by Asawa during a 1965 residency at the renowned Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles, which have never been published before as a complete series, this elegant 64-page hardcover has been produced in celebration of the artist’s 2026 centennial. “Each material has a nature of its own,” Asawa is quoted in the book, “and by combining it and putting it next to another material, you change or give personality to it without destroying either one.… It’s the same thing that you don’t change a person’s personality, but when you combine them with other people, other personalities, they take on another quality.… The intent is not to change them, but to bring out another part of them.”
CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 12/25/2025 From our point of view, there really is no better take on the holiday. Published by Eakins Press Foundation in collaboration with the photographer, Lee Friedlander: Christmas collects more than 200 iconic / anti-iconic black-and-white photographs of whatever it is that we Americans collectively do to commemorate the giving season. It’s worth noting that, “while there is critique in these photographs, there is no moral judgment,” publisher Peter Kayafas writes. “While there are anecdotes that may embarrass the viewer, they are not the construct of the photographer so much as they exist in the eye of the beholder. If you can find the high holy celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ manifested here, more power to you. If what you see instead is a revelation of our nation’s essential, quirky visual character, then you’re the audience for this book.”
CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 12/19/2025 Featured photograph—of jazz legends Louis Armstrong and Velma Middleton performing at Basin Street East, New York City (c. 1954–55)—is reproduced from the remarkable new release, Lisette Model: The Jazz Pictures. A legendary collection of photographs made over a decade during which the photographer, a Jewish Austrian woman who had emigrated to America to escape the Nazis, immersed herself in America’s sizzling, mostly Black jazz scene, these pictures were originally slated to be published alongside an essay by Langston Hughes. When the FBI placed Model on its National Security Watchlist due to her purported connections to the Communist Party, the project was shelved. And now, thanks to the exacting scholarship of photography historian Audrey Sands, this project has been fully brought to light for the first time. Published by Eakins Press Foundation, the critically-acclaimed photobook features more than 300 duotone images and 25 color reproductions, alongside Langston Hughes’ unpublished essay and original texts by Sands and jazz historian Loren Schoenberg. Clothbound with tipped on cover image, it’s one of our top Staff Picks for the Photo Fanatic, 2025.

CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 12/16/2025 Breakfast of the Birds (Das Frühstück der Vögel) (March 10, 1934) is reproduced from Gabriele Münter: Contours of a World, published to accompany the landmark exhibition on view at Guggenheim Museum through April 2026. Long overlooked in favor of her male counterparts in the Blaue Reiter movement—which she actually cofounded—this major survey places Münter front and center among contemporaries like Wassily Kandinsky, her one-time romantic partner. “Misnomers of ‘naïve’ and ‘natural’ were applied to a practice that astutely interrogated concepts of identity and authenticity, form and color,” exhibition curator Megan Fontanella writes. “In the years 1908 to 1914, the artist’s still-life ‘experiments,’ as she called them, distinguished her production and helped establish Münter’s public identity. She reimagined the still life—historically characterized as among the so-called lesser academic pursuits—and, with her acute gaze, unlocked its potential for radical originality. In doing so, Münter challenged perceptions of both the genre and the capabilities of women artists with compositions that at once empower and disarm the viewer, transforming the ordinary into the remarkable.”
