Elizabeth Bishop
Today established as one of the twentieth century's most important poets, Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) was also a gifted artist and collector of art and artifacts, many of which were collected from her years in Brazil. Objects and Apparitions explores for the first time Bishop's art: her delicate, miniaturist watercolors and gouaches of domestic vignettes; her tenderly fabricated, Cornell-esque constructions; and several works of art from her own collection, including family portraits and a bird cage modeled on a medieval cathedral. Many of these are reproduced here for the first time in full color, alongside poems, archival photographs and essays by Bishop scholars Joelle Biele, Dan Chiasson and Lloyd Schwartz that discuss Bishop's art and its relationship to her poetry. Published for a critically acclaimed show at Tibor de Nagy Gallery, this handsomely produced volume shows Bishop's visual instincts to be as flawlessly poised and exquisite as her poetical sensibility.

Poems from the Tibor de Nagy Editions, 1952-1966
Poetry. FRANK O'HARA: POEMS FROM THE TIBOR DE NAGY EDITIONS 1952-1966 brings together three volumes of poems that Tibor de Nagy Editions published by the poet, who was a leading light of the New York School of Poets, including his first publication A City Winter and Other Poems (1952), along with later publications Oranges (1953), and Love Poems (Tentative Title) from 1965. Also included is O'Hara's last poem, "Little Elegy for Antonio Machado," from 1966, for a brochure accompanying a benefit show for Spanish Refugee Aid. Reproduced in the book are three ink drawings by Larry Rivers that were included in the original A City Winter and the cover for Oranges by Grace Hartigan. This new publication is the first time these three early volumes are gathered together in one book. It celebrates the accomplishments of one of the most significant poetic voices of the post war 20th Century, as well as his ongoing relationship with Tibor de Nagy Editions, which was started by Tibor de Nagy Gallery's John Bernard Myers in 1951. Tibor de Nagy Editions, along with O'Hara's, published first collections of poems by John Ashbery, Barbara, Guest, Kenneth Koch, and Bill Berkson, among others.
The Nancy Book
From 1963 to 1978 Joe Brainard (author of I REMEMBER) created more than 100 works of art that appropriated the classic comic strip character Nancy and sent her into an astonishing variety of spaces, all electrified by the incongruity of her presence. Whether inserted into hypothetical situations, dispatched on erotic adventures, or seemingly rendered by the hands of artists as varied as Leonardo da Vinci, R. Crumb, Larry Rivers, and Willem de Kooning, Brainard's Nancy revels in as well as transcends her two-dimensionality. Together these works accumulate into a sophisticated, complex work of great wit, equal parts surprise and subtlety.The Nancy Book is the first published collection of Brai...
Painters & Poets
Literary Nonfiction. Art. Poetry History & Criticism. TIBOR DE NAGY GALLERY PAINTERS & POETS is an exhibition catalog containing "A Hidden History of the Avant-Garde," by Douglas Crase, and "The Love of Looking: Collaborations Between Artists and Writers," by Jenni Quilter.

"The Heroine Paint"
"Taking Helen Frankenthaler's 1950s New York debut as its starting point, "The heroine Paint": After Frankenthaler, a new publication edited by Katy Siegel, follows Frankenthaler's own painting over the years, expanding its focus to include the immediate social and artistic context of Frankenthaler's work, as well as tracing artistic currents as they move outwards in different directions over the decades. The book collects six scholarly essays, six short texts from contemporary artists, and reprints of historical writing, interweaving these voices with a visual chronology that locates key works from performances, publications, and cultural ephemera from over seven decades."--Publisher description.

The Pop Object
A major survey of Pop Art from private collections. Published on the occasion of an exhibition of the same title, The Pop Object is the most comprehensive survey of Pop Art to be organized by theme and historical precedents, with such classic works as Andy Warhol’s Brillo Soap Pads, Robert Arneson’s Oreo Cookie Jar, Claes Oldenburg’s Pie à la Mode, Roy Lichtenstein’s Black Flowers, and Wayne Thiebaud’s Gumball Machine. With more than ninety color illustrations, this large-format book brings together the most important examples of works by artists Jasper Johns, Jim Dine, Marisol, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Wayne Thiebaud, Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann, and many others, from the 1960s to the present. The still life has often been the stepchild to landscape, history, and figurative painting. By examining themes like food and drink, household objects, flowers, and body parts, noted art historian John Wilmerding emphasizes Pop’s playfulness and brings the history of the movement right up to date.
