Izhar Patkin the Making of the Black Paintings
Izhar Patkin: The Making of The Black Paintings is an exhibition catalog that explores three early bodies of work by artist Izhar Patkin: "The Blacking Paintings" (1985-86), "The Meta Bride" (1982-83), and "Norman: The Average American Male" (1981). Patkin's virtuosic "The Black Paintings," a painterly adaption of a play by Jean Genet, is one of the most significant and inventive works to come out of the East Village in the 80s. An immersive room-size piece painted on black neoprene-rubber curtains, it expands upon the conventions of painting itself and also upon narrative, metaphor, installation art, and theatricality. The catalog concentrates on the development of Patkin's visual vocabulary culminating in the painting. The Museum of Modern Art acquired The Black Paintings in 1988, and they were shown at the Whitney Biennial in 1987 and last exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum in 1990.
The Veil Suite
A meditation on love and loss, The Veil Suite is a collaboration between Israeli-born painter, Izhar Patkin, and Kashmir's most revered poet, the late Agha Shahid Ali. Shahid's poem, which uses Dante's form of the canzone, was written specifically for this collaboration, and is his last work.
A Map of Longings
The beautifully written first biography of one of the world’s finest twentieth-century poets Agha Shahid Ali (1949–2001) was one of the most celebrated American poets of the latter twentieth century, and his works have touched millions of lives around the world. Traversing multiple geographies, cultures, religions, and traditions, he mapped the varied landscapes of the Indian subcontinent and the United States. In this biography, Manan Kapoor narrates Shahid’s evolution, following in the footsteps of the “Beloved Witness” from Kashmir and New Delhi to the American Southwest and Massachusetts. He charts Shahid’s friendships with literary figures such as James Merrill, Salman Rushdie, and Edward Said; explores how Shahid responded to events around the world, including the partition of the Indian subcontinent and the AIDS epidemic in America; and draws on unpublished materials and in-depth interviews to reveal the experiences and relationships that informed his poetry. Hailed upon its release in India as “lush” and “poetic,” A Map of Longings is the story of an extraordinary poet, the works he left behind, and the legacy of his singular poetic vision.
The Veiled Suite

This book contains some of his famous poems like Postcard from Kashmir, A Lost Memory of Delhi, Snowmen, Cracked Portraits, Story of ...

On Edge
Through her engaged and articulate essays in the Village Voice, C. Carr has emerged as the cultural historian of the New York underground and the foremost critic of performance art. On Edge brings together her writings to offer a detailed and insightful history of this vibrant brand of theatre from the late 70s to today. It represents both Carr’s analysis as a critic and her testament as a witness to performances which, by their very nature, can never be repeated. Carr has organized this collection both chronologically and thematically, ranging from the emphasis on bodily manipulation/endurance in the 70s to the underground club scene in New York to an insider’s analysis of the Tompkins ...
