"Her forthcoming study on the way we use this millennia-old makeup product today is just one of the books related to art and visual culture we're excited to read this year. Ann Patchett's Whistler, coming this summer, begins with a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, while a new atlas of embroidery reflects the enduring power of an art form that is often dismissed or relegated to the sidelines of history."
"Editor-in-Chief Hakim Bishara anticipates the Venice Biennale catalog, edited by critic Siddhartha Mitter, and how it might reflect the curatorial vision of the late Koyo Kouoh. Senior Editor Valentina Di Liscia has a book about Mexican state theft and cultural repatriation on her list, while Reviews Editor Natalie Haddad looks toward Sara Ahmed's next publication and Associate Editor Lisa Yin Zhang keeps an eye out for a new volume of conversations between Black curators, edited by Kellie Jones and Tumelo Mosaka."
Forthcoming art books in 2026 include a study on contemporary lipstick use by Eileen G'Sell, Ann Patchett's Whistler, an atlas of embroidery, and a volume about the new Frida Kahlo museum in Mexico City that highlights postcards and a doll collection. The Venice Biennale catalog edited by Siddhartha Mitter may reflect the curatorial vision of the late Koyo Kouoh. New titles will examine Mexican state theft and cultural repatriation, forthcoming work by Sara Ahmed, and conversations between Black curators edited by Kellie Jones and Tumelo Mosaka. Creative Capital and United States Artists awarded millions to artists, while museums hosted diverse programs including a baby rave.
