Through a series of newly-commissioned conversations by renowned artists, writers, and scholars, in produced in collaboration with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, In New Light offers new entry points into the iconic American modernist. An extremely well-known painter and cultural figure, O’Keeffe’s persona and biography have remained as much a part of her story as her innovations within and contributions to modernist painting. What are the questions that need to be asked (and critiques to be raised and considered) about her work and legacy today?
 Included is a fully illustrated summary of O’Keeffe’s work — from very early pieces to her latest paintings, with both significant masterworks as well as less-known pieces. Photographs of the artist, her residence in Abiquiú, and other objects and ephemera in the Museum’s collection appear throughout this chronological plate section.
 In addition to the O’Keeffe Museum, the artist’s work is held in countless major public collections, including the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (Dallas),&nbsp;Art Institute of Chicago, Brooklyn Museum, Cleveland Museum of Art, Milwaukee Art Museum,&nbsp;National Gallery of Art (Washington), and The White House (Washington, DC).

Georgia O'Keeffe: In New Light

A Natural History of the Studio

“In the best modernist tradition, [Deschenes] pushes against the basic terms by which photography is conventionally defined: instantaneity, veracity, fixity, or reproducibility.” — curator and critic Matthew WitkovskyDeschenes uses durational photogram exposure to create unique, shifting surfaces that frequently function as sculptural or architectural, rather than photographic, objects. In her recent work, Deschenes exposes photographic paper to the night sky, develops it, and fixes the photogram with silver toner, creating misty silver surfaces brindled with slight changes in hue that are affected either by exposure to ambient light or the hand-application of the toner itself. Some of these photograms remain unframed and oxidize over time, further problematizing the role of the photograph as fixed image on surface. Instead, purged of representational content, the photograph, in Deschenes’s practice, functions as an object that records how it has been, and continues to be, acted upon.Deschenes’ work is held in the permanent collections of Centre Pompidou, Paris; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Art Institute of Chicago; ICA/Boston; Pinault Collection, Paris; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; Milwaukee Art Museum; Princeton University Art Museum; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.

The Muya collection is focused on a selection of significant ceramic masterpieces that demonstrate the evolution of technology and art in China. These masterpieces were previously housed in well-known private institutions such as Meiyintang, Xiaoyazhitang, Alfred Clark, Frank Caro, John Bodie and others. Many of these pieces were featured in prominent public exhibitions and extensively documented in dedicated catalogues. The book showcases eighty ceramic masterpieces from the Muya collection, accompanied by articles and detailed descriptions. These provide insight into the characteristics of Chinese ceramic art and offer accurate records of their provenance. The aim of the book is to shed new light on cross-media cultural history and emphasise the global significance of Chinese ceramic art, a cultural heritage that has captivated the world. It is a testament to the rich and diverse cultural heritage of China, something that all can take pride in and appreciate.

Ceramic Masterpieces: Art, Structure andTechnology was first published by the Free Press in 1986. It won a publisher's award for art (American Publishers' Association, Scholarly and Technical, Honorable Mention, 1986). The copyright is held by David Kingery's son, William D. Kingery, Jr., who about 11 years ago signed over to the American Ceramic Society the rights to publish a second edition of the book. This second edition is divided into four parts. In the introductory section, it states: "The appearance of a ceramic is determined by its internal structure, which is in turn determined by the technology of its manufacture. Revolutionary new methods of study and analysis have advanced out understanding of ceramics. This book applies these new methods, connecting visual impact, internal structure, and technology for a deeper appreciation of ceramic masterpieces." Each chapter outlines the transformative art and structure of a ceramic material by providing a general outline of history, artistic value, antecedent technologies, manufacture of the particular dated example, analysis of macrostructure, then microstructure, then composition, then firing, variability and its relation to appearance, and finally significance of technology and its contribution to art and culture. In the ceramic technology section, the sequences and variability of processing, exemplified in the case studies, is inventoried with emphasis on structure and transformation.

Koudelka: Diaries offers insight into the mind of this iconoclastic Czech photographer renowned for projects on the Roma, the 1968 Soviet invasion of Prague, and the impact humans have had on the landscape. Over the course of fifty-plus years Josef Koudelka has kept nearly seventy journals. Distilled now into one richly illustrated volume, Koudelka: Diaries offers a look inside the mind of the iconoclastic Czech photographer renowned for his life in exile and a career that has included seminal projects on the Roma, legendary coverage of the 1968 Soviet invasion of Prague, and volumes on the often-devastating impact humans have had on the landscape. Revealed throughout the book are Koudelka's thoughts on photographers, such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, and editors, curators, and friends, including Robert Delpire and Anna Fárová, along with notes on his legendary projects. Facsimiles of actual diary pages and images by the photographer, including self-portraits, lend the volume an immediacy and authenticity. Josef Koudelka: Diaries provides a perfect companion to Josef Koudelka: Next (2023), the visual biography by Melissa Harris, editor at large at Aperture, and has been brought together by the same creative collaborators: designer Ales Najbrt and translators Derek and Marzia Paton.

On the two-hundredth anniversary of Frederic Edwin Church’s birth, leading scholars explore how his wide-ranging work continues to resonate in today’s world &nbsp; The work of Frederic Edwin Church (1826–1900), renowned American landscape painter, was indelibly shaped by global travel. Church’s art was defined by place: early trips took him to South America, across the northeastern United States, and to the Arctic; later he visited the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East; in his final decades, he spent long sojourns in Mexico. Intimate drawings and oil sketches executed on-site illuminate his encounters with new environments and cultures; large, extravagantly detailed paintings produced for public exhibition made him internationally famous. The designed landscapes, extensive collections, and striking architecture of his home, Olana, in the Hudson Valley, reflect the many worlds through which he traveled. &nbsp; In Frederic Church: Global Artist, original essays by scholars from across the humanities reveal Church as an artist enmeshed in the global economic and imperial ventures of the nineteenth century. Church’s works engage with questions of industrialization and environmental destruction, the rise and fall of empires, the construction of national identity, and the cataclysmic effects of slavery and civil war. This lavishly illustrated volume examines the artist in his time and demonstrates his continuing relevance in our own. &nbsp; Published in association with the Olana Partnership &nbsp; Exhibition Schedule: &nbsp; Olana NY State Historic Site (May 17–October 25, 2026)
