The Young and Evil                                     Lauded by Jerry Saltz as “one of the most reactionary yet radical
                                                       visions of art,” The Young and Evil tells the story of a group of artists
Queer Modernism in New York,                           and writers active during the first half of the twentieth century, when
                                                       homosexuality was as problematic for American culture as figuration
1930–1955                                              was for modernist painting.

                                                       Yow, and their circle—were new social creatures, playfully and boldly
                                                       homosexual at a time when it was both criminalized and pathologized.
                                                       They pursued a modernism of the body—driven by eroticism and
                                                       bounded by intimacy, forming a hothouse world within a world that
                                                       doesn’t nicely fit any subsequent narrative of modern American art. In
                                                       their work, they looked away from abstraction toward older sources and
                                                       models—classical and archaic forms of figuration and Renaissance
                                                       techniques. What might be seen as a reactionary aesthetic maneuver
                                                       was made in the service of radical content—endeavoring to depict their
                                                       own lives. Their little-known history is presented here through never-

                                                       rarely seen major paintings—offering the first view of its kind into their
                                                       interwoven intellectual, artistic, and personal lives.

                                                       surrealism and its legacy, primarily through a love of film.

Doug Wheeler                   Known for his immersive environments, American artist Doug Wheeler’s
                               pioneering use of light as a medium to articulate space helped define
                               what is often referred to as the Light and Space movement in Los
Text by Germano Celant
                               Angeles in the 1960s and 1970s. The most comprehensive overview
                               of the artist’s career to date, this publication features extensive
                               illustrations of his most important works, as well as never-before-
                               published images, drawings, and other archival material.

                               Through his careful manipulation of space, light, and sound, Wheeler
                               invites his audience to participate in a range of sensate experiences. His
                               innovative installations “invoke an experience of light itself as an almost
                               tactile presence,” as noted by Randy Kennedy in The New York Times.

                               This monograph is structured around the most significant and substantial
                               essay on the artist to date by the distinguished Italian art historian
                               Germano Celant, who has been acquainted with Wheeler since the early
                               1970s. Writing on the “intense and direct dialogue about the possible
                               absoluteness of the pictorial invisible,” Celant offers a detailed account
                               of and context for Wheeler’s development as one of the most original
                               and influential artists of his generation.

                               Based upon extensive primary research, this publication fills a wide
                               gap in the history of the Light and Space movement and makes a
                               major contribution to the historical record of phenomenal art more
                               generally. With its vibrant imagery and ambitious critical approach,
                               Doug Wheeler is a definitive exploration of the body of work by an artist
                               whose significance only increases with time.

                               Doug Wheeler’s (b. 1939) prolific and groundbreaking body of work encompasses
                               drawing, painting, and installations that are characterized by a singular experimentation
                               with the perception and experience of light, space, and sound. Raised in the high desert
                               of Arizona, Wheeler began his career as a painter in the early 1960s while studying
                               at the Chouinard Art Institute (now the California Institute of the Arts) in Los Angeles.

                               Germano Celant, renowned art historian and theoretician, is internationally
                               acknowledged for his theories on Arte Povera. Additionally, he is the author of more than

Joan Mitchell                                I carry my landscapes around with me focuses on American abstract
                                             artist Joan Mitchell’s large-scale multipanel works from the 1960s
I carry my landscapes around with me         through the 1990s.

Texts by Suzanne Hudson and Robert Slifkin   Mitchell’s exploration of the possibilities afforded by combining two to
                                             five large canvases allowed her to simultaneously create continuity and
                                             rupture, while opening up a panoramic expanse referencing landscapes
                                             or the memory of landscapes.

                                             Mitchell established a singular approach to abstraction over the course
                                             of her career. Her inventive reinterpretation of the traditional figure-
                                             ground relationship and synesthetic use of color set her apart from
                                             her peers, resulting in intuitively constructed and emotionally charged
                                             compositions that alternately evoke individuals, observations, places,
                                             and points in time. Art critic John Yau lauded her paintings as “one of
                                             the towering achievements of the postwar period.”

                                             Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner
                                             New York in 2019, this book offers a unique opportunity to explore the
                                             range of scale and formal experimentation of this innovative area of
                                             Mitchell’s extensive body of work. It not only features reproductions of
                                             each painting in this selection as a whole, but also numerous details that
                                             allow an intimate understanding of the surface texture and brushwork.
                                             In the complementing essays, Suzanne Hudson examines boundaries,
                                             borders, and edges in Mitchell’s multipanel paintings, beginning with
                                             her first work of this kind, The Bridge (1956), considering them as both
                                             physical and conceptual objects; Robert Slifkin discusses the dynamics
                                             of repetition and energy in the artist’s paintings, in relation to works by
                                             Monet and Willem de Kooning, among others.

                                             Born in Chicago and educated at the Art Institute of Chicago, from which she received
                                             a BFA (1947) and an MFA (1950), Joan Mitchell (1925–1992) moved in 1949 to New
                                             York, where she was an active participant in the downtown arts scene. She began
                                             splitting her time between Paris and New York in 1955, before moving permanently
                                             to France in 1959. In 1968, Mitchell settled in Vétheuil, a small village northwest of
                                             Paris, while continuing to exhibit her work throughout the United States and Europe.
                                             It was in Vétheuil that she began regularly hosting artists at various stages of their

Roy DeCarava                                        Light Break presents the first survey since 1996 of work by photographer
                                                    Roy DeCarava, an essential figure of American art and culture, whose
Light Break                                        “poetry of vision” re-forms urban life, labor, love, and jazz into the
                                                    discovery of “an intimate, emotional arc of transformation.”
Preface by Zoé Whitley. Introduction and text by
Sherry Turner DeCarava                             Though DeCarava often refrained from public discussion of his work, this
                                                   catalogue provides important background into determining factors of his
                                                   aesthetic sensibility—his traditional training in painting and printmaking
                                                   as well as his philosophical undertakings. It brings the viewer to a
                                                   consideration of contradictory precepts in DeCarava’s work that seeks
                                                   resolution through tonal and structural elements within the image.

                                                   Light Break presents a wide-ranging selection of DeCarava’s
                                                   photographs accompanied by a preface by Zoé Whitley, an American
                                                   curator based in London, and features an introduction and essay by
                                                   curator and art historian Sherry Turner DeCarava. Titled “Celebration,”
                                                   Turner DeCarava’s essay considers the artist’s singular poetic vision,
                                                   his timeless portrayals of individuals and places, and his mastery of
                                                   composition and photographic printmaking.

                                                   Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner
                                                   New York in 2019, this exquisite volume showcases a dynamic range
                                                   of images that underscores DeCarava’s subtle mastery of tonal and
                                                   spatial elements across a wide, fascinating array of subject matter:
                                                   from the figural implications of smoke and debris to the “shimmering
                                                   mirror beneath a mother as she walks with her children in the morning
                                                   light.” These photographs express a strength of imagery—an intent
                                                   to synchronize and honor the pulse of art as an emergent signal for
                                                   creative and revelatory freedom.

                                                   Over the course of six decades, American artist Roy DeCarava (1919–2009) produced
                                                   a singular collection of black-and-white photographs of modern life that combines
                                                   formal acuity with a deeply human treatment of his subject matter. Grounded by a
                                                   unified theory of the visual plane, his work displays a subtle mastery of tonal and spatial
                                                   elements and devotion to photography as a means of artistic expression. DeCarava
                                                   contemplated the relationship of his images to the viewer, while also taking on the
                                                   challenge of revealing less-than-visible terrains. His pioneering work privileged the
                                                   aesthetic qualities of the medium as a counterpoint to seeing photography as mere
                                                   chronicle or document and helped silver gelatin photography to gain acceptance as
                                                   an art form in its own right.

                                                            Wylie’s source material is culled from the vast visual world around her,

US & UK March 2020                                          Rose Wylie (b. 1934) creates paintings and drawings that employ a variety of artistic
                                                            styles. While her works utilize an idiosyncratic visual lexicon, the directness of
                                                            cartoonish figures, and a flattened perspective, they simultaneously betray a deep

                                                            are rendered in a muted palette that is suggestive of a blurry recollection or a fading

                                                            complexity. They engage equally with questions of history and its representation as they

                                                            on a large scale, both undermine and reinvent traditional notions of monumentality

                                                   perversities and force us, difficultly, to confront them. He writes, “The
                                                   nearer an artist works to the erotic politics of his own culture, the more
                                                   he gets its concerned attention. Gauguin’s naked Polynesian girls,
                                                   brown and remote, escape the scandal of Balthus’s, although a Martian
                                                   observer would not see the distinction.” Davenport’s critique helps us
                                                   understand Balthus in our times—something we need more than ever
                                                   as we crucially confront sexual politics in visual art.

                                 Anni Albers (1899–1994) was a textile artist, designer, printmaker, and educator
                                 known for her pioneering graphic wall hangings, weavings, and designs. She was born
                                 in Berlin, and studied painting under German Impressionist Martin Brandenburg from
                                 1916 to 1919. After attending the Kunstgewerbeschule in Hamburg for two months
                                 in 1920, she enrolled at the Bauhaus in 1922 and joined the faculty in 1929. At Black
                                 Mountain College, from 1933 to 1949, she elaborated on the technical innovations she
                                 devised at the Bauhaus, developing a specialized curriculum that integrated weaving
                                 and industrial design. In 1949, she became the first designer to have a one-person

                                 subsequently traveled to twenty-six venues throughout the United States and Canada.
                                 Her seminal book On Weaving, published in 1965, helped to establish design studies
                                 as an area of academic and aesthetic inquiry and solidified her status as the single
                                 most influential textile artist of the twentieth century.
