This book follows the incredible trajectory of Haring’s artistic career: how a young man from a small town in rural Pennsylvania came to revolutionize the art world—and the course of art history—within little more than a decade. An incredibly prolific artist, Haring created countless bold, provocative, endearing, and unforgettable images that continue to inspire artists worldwide. Tracing the arc from his early subway “tags” to his poignant work on social issues, this visually stunning book is the definitive work on Haring. Jeffrey Deitch is the director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and represents the estate of Keith Haring. Suzanne Geiss was managing director and producer of Deitch Projects. Julia Gruen , former assistant to Keith Haring, is the executive director of the Keith Haring Foundation. Kenny Scharf and George Condo are renowned international artists.
Cecily Brown DORE ASHTON, INTERVIEW BY LARI PITTMAN IN ASSOCIATION WITH GAGOSIAN GALLERY
The first major monograph on London-born artist Cecily Brown. Cecily Brown creates lush, visceral canvases based on a combination of figuration and abstraction. Her technical proficiency has earned her comparisons to Lucian Freud, Willem de Kooning, and Francis Bacon, yet it is her unique ability to convey the pleasurable and fleeting aspects of sensation that drive her work.

Cecily Brown rapidly rose to success in the late 1990s and was credited with having contributed to the resurgence of painting at the turn of the millennium. With a visual repertoire indebted as much to the classical themes of the Old Masters as to porn magazines and Hollywood films, Brown’s paintings challenge traditional interpretations and compel us to reconsider the act of painting from a decidedly feminine viewpoint. Cecily Brown ’s work has been exhibited at P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, among other institutions. Dore Ashton is a professor of art history at the Cooper Union in New York. Lari Pittman is a Los Angeles–based painter. His works have been exhibited nationally and internationally.
