Focusing on the vital role of literature in the development of the artistic practice of Frank Stella (b. 1936), this insightful book looks at four transformative series of prints made between 1984 and 1999. Each of these series is named after a literary work—the Had Gadya (a playful song traditionally sung at the end of the Passover Seder), Italian Folktales, compiled by Italo Calvino, Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, and The Dictionary of Imaginary Places by Alberto Manguel and Gianni Guadalupi. This investigation offers a critical new perspective on Stella: an examination of his interdisciplinary process, literary approach, and interest in the lessons of art history as crucial factors for his artistic development as a printmaker. Mitra Abbaspour, Calvin Brown, and Erica Cooke examine how Stella’s dynamic engagement with literature paralleled the artist’s experimentation with unconventional printmaking techniques and engendered new ways of representing spatial depth to unleash the narrative potential of abstract forms.Distributed for the Princeton University Art MuseumExhibition Schedule:Princeton University Art Museum(05/19/18–09/23/18)Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville(10/06/18–01/13/19)

A fresh perspective on an understudied artist who engaged with avant-garde circles throughout the 20th century and remains a catalyst for artists todayFilipino American artist Alfonso Ossorio (1916–1990) is celebrated for his detailed woodcuts and ink drawings, as well as for his sculptural assemblages of found objects. His allusive art draws on themes such as birth, death, sex, and Catholicism. This focused volume explores the recurrent subject matter, favored materials, and development of linear form in prints, drawings, and wax-resist paintings that span the artist’s six-decade practice. Highlighting new scholarship on Ossorio’s works on paper, the book approaches the works from both art historical and technical perspectives. The book positions Ossorio alongside the artists with whom he exchanged ideas during his lifetime, such as Jean Dubuffet, Jackson Pollock, and Clyfford Still, as well as in the context of contemporary artists for whom he has been a source of inspiration. The book includes a conversation with the artist duo Enzo Camacho and Ami Lien, whose work in the 2026 Whitney Biennial is directly influenced by their engagement with the themes and materials of Ossorio’s art.Distributed for the Harvard Art MuseumsExhibition schedule:Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA(October 23, 2026–April 11, 2027)

A fascinating examination of a formative time in the iconic artist’s careerIn 1948, Willem de Kooning held his first solo exhibition, at age forty-four, at the Charles Egan Gallery in New York City. Willem de Kooning: The Breakthrough Years explores how the painter developed his distinctive style in the period leading up to the show, blending figuration with abstraction and experimenting with materials such as enamel paint, cardboard, and Masonite.This beautifully illustrated book features illuminating essays by John Elderfield and Mitra Abbaspour, who closely consider de Kooning’s work during this time, the environment and influences that surrounded him, and the impact of the 1948 exhibition on both his career and the New York School. Lee Colón’s detailed chronology provides invaluable context for the exhibition while Jim Coddington and Bart Devolder’s material study of Black Friday—a painting included in the 1948 exhibition—offers vital perspective on the painter’s working methods.Featuring paintings and drawings made by the artist between 1945 and 1950 as well as important primary source material, this book sheds critical light on a prolific and formative period in the life and career of an incomparable artist.Exhibition SchedulePrinceton University Art Museum, PrincetonMarch 14–July 26, 2026Distributed for the Princeton University Art Museum

OBJECT:PHOTO shifts the dialogue about modernist photography from an emphasis on the subject and the image to the actual photographic object, created by a certain artist at a particular time and present today in its unique physicality. This shift is especially significant for a study of the period during which photography developed a distinctive formal language. A growing awareness of the rarity of images made between the two world wars has altered historians’ considerations, encouraging new approaches privileging the originality of each work and the density of references each contains. This richly illustrated publication culminates a four-year collaborative research endeavor between The Museum of Modern Art’s Departments of Photography and Conservation, and nearly 30 visiting scholars, on the material and aesthetic evolution of avant-garde photography in the early twentieth century. The 341 modernist photographs known as The Thomas Walther Collection, a major museum acquisition made in 2001, is presented in its entirety, establishing a new standard of depth for the medium. Essays by curators, researchers, and conservators consider the history of collecting from this era to the present and how deepening knowledge has shifted the perspective on the medium; the material facts of the Walther pictures as a baseline for understanding the development of photographic materials in this era; and how the intellectual formation of the writers of critical photographic publications of the era and the societal and cultural pressures of that historical moment inflected the photography’s sense of its own history. Together with thematic, object-based case studies of groups of pictures that demonstrate new approaches in specific, divergent examples, these contributions reanimate the dialogue on this formative era in photography.
