这本关于Laura Owens（1970年生）作品的书的出版恰逢惠特尼美国艺术博物馆在达拉斯和洛杉矶举办的一场重要展览，书中包含Scott Rothkopf撰写的一篇深刻的引言、几篇批判性文章、文学文本，以及对与这位艺术家广泛的兴趣——从民间艺术和针线活到漫画和壁纸——相关的各种主题的简短评论。

Owens的二十多位艺术家同僚、合作者、助手、经销商、家人和朋友的思考提供了关于她一生中不同时期作品的一系列观点，从她在俄亥俄州的高中时期开始，到她目前展览的结束。从这位艺术家的个人档案馆选出来的和大量在此之前未公开过的一千多张图片包括个人信件、期刊、学习成绩单、手写笔记、原始资料、展览公告、剪报和装置艺术照片。

每本书都包含一套专门设计的贴纸，读者们可以用这些贴纸来定制自己的封面。


Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art that travels to Dallas and Los Angeles, this book on the work of Laura Owens (b. 1970) features an incisive introduction by Scott Rothkopf, critical essays, literary texts, and short commentaries on a variety of subjects related to the artist’s broad interests, which range from folk art and needlework to comics and wallpaper.

Reflections by more than twenty of Owens’s fellow artists, collaborators, assistants, dealers, family members, and friends offer an array of perspectives on her work at different periods in her life, beginning with her high school years in Ohio and ending with her current exhibition. A rich trove of more than a thousand images, drawn from the artist’s personal archive and largely unpublished before now, includes personal correspondence, journals, academic transcripts, handwritten notes, source material, exhibition announcements, clippings, and installation photographs.

Each book includes a specially designed set of stickers that readers can use to customize their own cover.
