In store waiting for you! DM or email to order Repost from @artbook Cy Twombly lovers, rejoice! Anne Carson's essay from 'Cy Twombly: Making Past Present' (on view @mfaboston & reproduced from the excellent exhibition catalog from @mfapublications ) is excerpted @literaryhub "Because I am no art expert, although I have studied the classics, I want to try to think about Twombly through the poems of Catullus. These two spirits seem to me somehow in tune.... Indirectness, people say, was characteristic of Twombly’s conversational manner too. He would stop and start, become inaudible, trail off, cover his mouth with his hand. Yet sheer velocity is what takes place on his canvas. 'Everything lives in the present, it’s the only time it can live,' he said. What Catullus brought to Roman poetry was this very zing of a moment in time. That is the genius of a lyric poemto cut out and frame for you a microblast of 'now.' And no one celebrates its ephemerality more jubilantly than Catullus, except perhaps Twombly. Everything lyric happens only once, the world, your heart." #annecarson #cytwombly #catallus #poetry #abstraction See more

Featured today! A staff favorite, this is the definitive study of American artist Dorothea Tanning, positioning her as one of the most fascinating and significant creative forces to emerge during the 20th century. It provides a framework within which to consider the range and depth of Tanning's work, well beyond the better-known early surrealist works of the 1940s, and makes connections between her life experiences and thematic preoccupations.

Back in stock! Approaching abstraction as scientist and mystic, Jack Whitten probed the expressive and material possibilities of painting. He constantly changed styles, developed new methods and took up new subject matter, but it is precisely this spirit of curious inquiry that unites his relentlessly experimental career. 'Jack Whitten: Notes from the Woodshed' collects the artist's notes from his work in the studio alongside selected interviews and texts, presenting an in-de...pth look at his rich studio practice. This publication comes at a crucial time; after decades of neglect, the art world has just begun to take stock of what Whitten achieved in his body of work. Edited by Katy Siegel, one of Whitten's long-standing champions, this volume offers an intimate look at the artist in his elementin the studio. DM or email to order for pickup or shipping. See more

Featured today! Late in 2016, British photographer Chris Killip’s son discovered a box of contact sheets of the photos his father had made at the Station, an anarcho-punk music venue in Gateshead, Northern England, open from 1981 to 1985. These images of raw youth caught in the heat of celebration had lain dormant for 30 years; they now return to life in this book.

Back in stock 'Judith Bernstein: Dicks of Death'. For over five decades, artist Judith Bernstein's most powerful and intense relationship has been with her work. As a graduate student at Yale in the 1960s, she began to use the phallus as a metaphor for feminism and male posturing. There's a gritty and visceral quality to these political drawings. The charcoal works represent an amalgamation of antiwar, feminism and sexuality. The art confronts the viewer with the urgency and complexity of human relationships issues that perpetually arise and tension that resonate from our origins to today. In the arts district? Be sure to visit Judith Bernstein HOT HANDS across the street at @theboxla and DM or email to order DICKS OF DEATH. @ Artbook at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles

Repost from @fulgur.press Maya Deren (April 29th 1917 October 13th 1961) Maya Deren describes her first major film, 'Meshes of the Afternoon,' as her point of departure. Of the work she had the following to say: "I am not ashamed of it, for I think that, as a film, it stands up very well. From the point of view of my own development, I cannot help but be gently proud that that first film that point of departure... had such relatively solid footing. This is due to two major facts: first, to the fact that I had been a poet up until then, and the reason that I had not been a very good poet was because actually my mind worked in images which I had been trying to translate or describe in words; therefore, when I undertook cinema, I was relieved of the false step of translating image into words, and could work directly so that it was not like discovering a new medium so much as finally coming home into a world whose vocabulary, syntax, grammar, was my mother tongue; which I understood and thought it, but, like a mute, had never spoken." - Taken from a letter Deren wrote in April of 1955 to James Card, film archivist for George Eastman House. #fulgurpress #mayaderen #film #filmaker #femaleartist #experimentalfilm #cinema #independentcinema #filmtheory #quote #artquote #director #screenwriter #poet #womendirectors #avantegarde See more

NEW!!! 'Mark Ellen Mark: The Book of Everything celebrates in over 600 images and diverse texts Mary Ellen Mark’s extraordinary life, work and vision. From 1963 to her death in 2015, Mark told brilliant, intimate, provocative stories of remarkable characters whom she would meet and then engage withoften in perpetuity. There was nothing casual or unprepared about Mark’s approach; she unfailingly empathized with the people and places she photographed. For this comprehensive bo...ok Mark's widow Martin Bell has selected images from Mark’s thousands of contact sheets and chromesfrom over two million frames in total. These include her own now-iconic choices, those published once and since lost in time, as well as some of her as-yet-unpublished preferences. Bell complements these with a few selections of his own. Along with Mark’s photos made in compelling, often tragic circumstances, The Book of Everything includes recollections from friends, colleagues and many of those she photographed. Mark’s own thoughts reveal doubts and insecurities, her ideas about the individuals and topics she photographed, as well as the challenges of the business of photography.

NEW! In 1966 the Rolling Stones official photographer and friend, Gered Mankowitz, was invited to shoot an at home session with each member of the band. Mankowitz kept these photographs in supermarket carrier bags stashed under his desk for several years and this is the first time these sessions have been collated and published. Goin’ Home with the Rolling Stones ’66 is a beguiling collection of images, shot with incredible skill, that offers that rare thing in Stones photographya fresh perspective. It features an introduction by Mankowitz and a foreword from the Rolling Stones’ legendary manager, Andrew Loog Oldham. @reelartpress
