A choice reference on the artist and his work.
Tony Feher
''This exhibition includes works placed directly on the floor, suspended from the ceiling or applied to the windows or walls of the gallery. In her catalogue essay, Laura Richard Janku compares Feher's sculptural practices to the improvisational virtuosity of Ella Fitzgerald, "Like the legendary scatters, Tony Feher intuitively uses familiar pattern, variation, allusion, and quotation to produce transcendent artworks that are anchored formally, but soar with innovation, personality, humor, and catharsis."--
Analia Saban
Whether casting paints and ink into sculpture, or using marble, concrete, porcelain or photographs for painterly purposes, Los Angeles-based artist Analia Saban (born 1980) has stretched the limits of material and media in often unexpected ways. Her concern is for the component materials from which art, particularly painting, is made, and her explorations have teased out the hidden ideological and political repercussions of those materials and the forms they take. Saban's first book is published on the occasion of a major museum retrospective that showcases ten years of her deep investigations into the possibilities of both the process and the mediums of art making. Her work is presented here alongside major new texts on the artist from Johanna Burton and exhibition curator Claudia Schmuckli.

Fusing personalized folk idioms with the aesthetics of high modernism, Surls's sculptures are clearly self-expressive, yet freighted with universal meaning. This beautifully illustrated book, which accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the Blaffer Gallery, t...
Eleven Conclusions
This book takes found language from archived exhibition catalogues from the Blaffer Art Museum, the art museum of the University of Houston. The language has been chopped up and reconfigured into prose poems and disjunctive critical analyses, and is intended to mimic an exhibition catalogue/written thesis in itself, albeit through abstracted language. This is a thesis project for artist and writer Betsy Huete
