Michelle Sound will lead a talk and tour of her exhibition at Ceremonial / Art, focusing on her recent practice and commissioned project.
"The catalogue raisonné is incredibly meaningful to me. It's a nice reminder of the many things I've done, and seeing the documentation of decades of work allows for reflection and new insights."
George Costakis spent three decades hunting down, and saving, thousands of Russian and Soviet avant-garde works of art-at a time when they were hidden, vilified by the state and at risk of disappearing into history.
The work of such artists as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning wound up as part of a secret CIA program during the height of the Cold War, aimed at promoting American ideals abroad.
Sackheim's dramatically cinematic effects of deep shadows and crisp highlights suggest a kind of timelessness. Even the daytime shots feel eerily as if they could be shot during a full moon or amid uncanny artificial light.

There are a lot of books about printing-about the history of journalism or the history of books, the printing press and the printed word-but not so much about the printed image and its processes. So that was my challenge.

Kengo Kuma's trajectory as an architect demonstrates exceptional design elegance, a keen sensitivity to location and to history, and a supremely beautiful handling of light and of materials.
The Dugout is the largest and most elaborate study in oil that Rockwell made for one of his most recognisable Saturday Evening Post covers. The image is partly credited with popularising the team's reputation as the 'lovable losers.'
KAWS has shown an uncanny ability to connect with a wide variety of people. Younger buyers clamor for his $50 Uniqlo T-shirts, while trophy-hunting collectors shell out millions for paintings.
