"That cinephile who loves talking politics and film? They'll love comic artist and Hyperallergic contributor Nathan Gelgud's Reel Politik, recommended by Reviews Editor Natalie Haddad. Your favorite tarot reader? Snag them a copy of Symbolorum, a guide to the intricate emblem system of 16th-century Europe, per critic Lauren Moya Ford. And for the Y2K fanatic, Editor-at-Large Hrag Vartanian suggests a visual guide to the decade that doubles as a lookbook. Find more picks for painters, planners, and Prospect Park-goers below."
"So you could say this catalog for the retrospective now at MoMA in New York was basically made for me - or anyone who needs a little help remembering how to find magic in the ordinary. Cheng's essay on ornament in Asawa's art (or at least perceptions of it) genuinely made me see her work differently, and it's eminently readable, in classic Cheng fashion."
A holiday gift guide pairs art books with specific recipient interests, including cinephiles, tarot readers, Y2K fans, painters, planners, and park-goers. Nathan Gelgud's Reel Politik is recommended for those who enjoy politics and film. Symbolorum is presented as a detailed guide to the emblem system of 16th-century Europe for tarot enthusiasts. A visual Y2K guide serves as both lookbook and cultural reference. The Ruth Asawa retrospective catalog for MoMA receives praise for Anne Anlin Cheng's essay on ornament and for abundant, beautiful images that reveal new perspectives on Asawa's work.
