Joan Snyder: Body & Soul
Rigorous interrogation of abstraction underpinned by a feminist outlook For six decades, American artist Joan Snyder (born 1940) has reimagined the narrative potential of abstraction through her paintings, drawings and prints, consciously working against the male-dominated conventions of Minimalism, Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting prevalent at her career's start. This publication celebrates the work of this pioneering artist, featuring stunning reproductions of 46 of her paintings, spanning from the early 1960s to the present day. In addition to full images of the works, high-quality detail shots allow readers to immerse themselves in the rich materiality of her work. The catalog includes archival imagery and sketches from Snyder's personal notebooks, offering an intimate glimpse into her artistic process. Texts by writer Emily LaBarge and art historian Susan L. Aberth provide insight, deepening our understanding of the motifs and techniques of Snyder's practice.
The Joan Didion Collection
The ultimate Didion: all 17 of her major works of fiction, journalism, and memoir together for the first time in a 3-volume boxed set 'Essential.' --Esquire In 1968, a collection of reportage appeared that was unlike anything seen before, remarkable in its literary aspiration and a milestone in what would become known as the New Journalism. A series of wickedly incisive portraits of California and its people--from fading stars to homicidal housewives to drug-addled hippies--Slouching Towards Bethlehem was a sensation, signaling the arrival of a major writer. It attracted not only readers but devotees, and Joan Didion became more than just a celebrated author, she became an icon for the age. Now, for the first time, all her best-known and most enduring works are gathered together in a career-spanning 3-volume Library of America boxed set. THE JOAN DIDION COLLECTION includes: I. The 1960s & 70s Run River Slouching Towards Bethlehem Play It As It Lays A Book of Common Prayer The White

Joan Didion: The Last Interview
The iconic writer whose prose was as influential and as it is unmistakably hers is joined in conversation with Sheila Heti, Hilton Als, Dave Eggers, Hari Kunzru and many more. Some writers define a generation. Some a genre. Joan Didion did both, and much more. Didion rose to prominence with her nonfiction collection, Slouching Towards Bethlehem, and she quickly became the writer who defined the washed-out, acid hangover of the 60s. But the bicoastal writer of fiction and nonfiction, whose writing ranged from profoundly personal essays and raw, intimate memoirs was equally a writer focused on international affairs, political intrigue, and social justice. This collection encompasses it all, in conversations that delve into her underappreciated mid-career works, her influences, the loss of her husband and daughter, and her most infamous essays. Far from the evasive image of a terse minimalist that has come to dominate the image of Joan Didion, what this collection reveals is a warm,
