The Return of the Cadavre Exquis
The Return of the Cadavre Exquis featured over 600 collaborative drawings by contemporary artists from around the world. The culmination of a two-year drawing project, the exhibition was composed of contemporary drawings based on the Surrealist parlor game, Exquisite Corpse, as well as a selection of works by Surrealist practitioners of the game. The exhibition was organized by The Drawing Center and Ingrid Schaffner, who initiated the project with the artists Kim Jones and Leonard Titzer.
David Hammons: Body Prints, 1968-1979
On Hammons' seminal series that ingeniously merged print and performance, celebration and critique The first book dedicated to these pivotal early works on paper, David Hammons: Body Prints, 1968-1979 brings together the monoprints and collages in which the artist used the body as both a drawing tool and printing plate to explore performative, unconventional forms of image making. Hammons created the body prints by greasing his own body--or that of another person--with substances including margarine and baby oil, pressing or rolling body parts against paper, and sprinkling the surface with charcoal and powdered pigment. The resulting impressions are intimately direct indexes of faces, skin, ...
Cecily Brown
For the past ten years, British painter Cecily Brown (born 1969) has been turning heads with her voluptuous, quasi-abstract canvases. All the while, she has been making drawings, study upon study of motifs taken from a wide range of sources, including drawings by the 18th-century master William Hogarth, pages of animals from 19th-century encyclopedias and the cover of Jimi Hendrix's 1968 album Electric Ladyland. Cecily Brown: Rehearsal is the first book devoted to the artist's drawings. The volume features approximately 75 drawings, many of which are being published for the first time. Arranged thematically, the book leads readers through Brown's repeated motifs.

All in One
The Drawing Center exhibition is the first career retrospective in the United States dedicated to this extraordinary artist. Beginning with his childhood drawings depicting the Nazi invasion of Strasbourg, through his work in New York and Canada, and concluding with Ungerer's most recent political and satirical campaigns as well as his illustrations for the 2013 children's book Fog Island, Tomi Ungerer: All in One will re-introduce this wildly creative individual to New York City and the world.
José Antonio Suárez Londoño
This publication evolves from Colombian artist José Antonio Suárez Londoño's 2012 exhibition at The Drawing Center in New York. The volume features full-color plates of drawings from a selection of Londoño's notebooks (or "yearbooks") dating from 1997 to the present and taken from the artist's ongoing project in which he creates a daily drawing based on a book or series of books that he reads over the course of a year. These literary touchstones have included such diverse sources as the diaries of Paul Klee, Franz Kafka and Eugène Delacroix; Ovid's Metamorphoses; W.G. Sebald's The Rings of Saturn; and Patti Smith's poetry. The drawings themselves are refined and spare, imbued with a true classical draughtsman's eye for nuance and detail, in a unique approach to depicting contemporary artifacts. The accompanying essay is by curator Claire Gilman.
