Our Favorite Books of 2025
"Alphabet in Motion: How Letters Get Their Shape This ABC pop-up book by Kelli Anderson is the culmination of thousands of hours of research within various design archives. The artist and designer meticulously engineered kinetic and three-dimensional letters to show how type styles have evolved through the ages. The project consists of two conjoined, detachable books: one is an interactive display with movable paper elements and activities, while the other dives into the history and concept behind each pop-up."
"Wonder Women: Art of the Asian Diaspora A companion to an exhibition of the same name, Wonder Women emerges from curator and writer Kathy Huang's desire to highlight the remarkable spectrum of figurative work being produced within the Asian diasporic community. The volume features the practices of 40 artists through a selection of works and personal statements, addressing a wide array of topics from identity and family to colonialism and myth-making.
