Pati Hill: Letters to Jill
A reprint of American writer and photocopy artist Pati Hill's 1979 book outlining her methodology to her gallerist Pati Hill (1921-2014) is best known for her observational writings and works made using an IBM photocopier. This reprint of her 1979 book explaining her methodology to her New York gallerist, Jill Kornblee, is published for her first posthumous solo exhibition at Kunstverein München.
Black Feminist Thought
In spite of the double burden of racial and gender discrimination, African-American women have developed a rich intellectual tradition that is not widely known. In Black Feminist Thought, Patricia Hill Collins explores the words and ideas of Black feminist intellectuals as well as those African-American women outside academe. She provides an interpretive framework for the work of such prominent Black feminist thinkers as Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alice Walker, and Audre Lorde. The result is a superbly crafted book that provides the first synthetic overview of Black feminist thought.

Diane Arbus
Diane Arbus was one of the greatest photographers of the last century. Her portraiture of freaks, circus performers, twins, nudists and others on the social margins connected with a wide public at a deep psychological level. Her suicide in New York in 1971 overshadowed the reception to her work. Her posthumous exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art a year later drew lines around the block. She was born into a Russian-Jewish family, the Nemerovs, who owned a department store on Fifth Avenue. They were family friends with the Avedons. Richard Avedon later championed Arbus’s work. Avedon rose to greater and greater commercial success through the magazine world. Arbus died in a rent-protected apartment scrambling to earn her keep with odd teaching assignments. Lubow’s biography begins at the moment Arbus quit the world of commercial photography to be an artist. She was uncompromising in that ambition. The book ends with her death. The entire narrative is a slow march towards that event.
Eye of the Sixties
In 1959, Richard Bellamy was a witty, poetry-loving beatnik on the fringe of the New York art world who was drawn to artists impatient for change. By 1965, he was representing Mark di Suvero, was the first to show Andy Warhol’s pop art, and pioneered the practice of “off-site” exhibitions and introduced the new genre of installation art. As a dealer, he helped discover and champion many of the innovative successors to the abstract expressionists, including Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, Walter De Maria, and many others. The founder and director of the fabled Green Gallery on Fifty-Seventh Street, Bellamy thrived on the energy of the sixties. With the covert...
50 Photographs
Actress Jessica Lange's career spans more than 30 years and 30 films - the winner of two Academy Awards, she is one of the most acclaimed performers of both screen and stage. 50 Photographs finds her on the other side of the camera. Originally drawn to photography as a medium by which to document her children, Lange has been taking pictures for more than 15 years, approaching the art as an antidote to the constant fervour of Hollywood. A 2007 feature in Aperture presented her work to the public for the first time. This book presents some of her portfolio.
Impossible Dreams
"Pati Hill is always doing extraordinary things, quite unlike anything anyone else is doing, full of wit and ingenuity and imagination. Impossible Dreams combines all of these..." --George Plimpton
