Grounded in the global, conceptual art tendencies that began in the 1960s, For What It's Worth looks at artists who generate, question, and infect value systems through their work. These works address issues vital to the art world connected to systems of exchange, social structures, or metacritiques of the market-and all stops in between. Central to this assembly are works from the famed Rachofsky Collection by Judy Chicago, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Annette Lawrence, Seung-taek Lee, Sherrie Levine, Piero Manzoni, Bruce Nauman, Giulio Paolini, Sherrill Roland, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Fred Wilson, and Yukinori Yanagi.

Spinneret draws inspiration from the eponymous silk-producing organ that spiders use to weave their webs. Anthony Cudahy's figurative paintings tenderly piece together enigmatic scenes of specific objects and equivocal environments from interwoven references drawn from queer archives, art history, film, poetry, friends, and autobiography. Coinciding with Cudahy's solo exhibit at the Ogunquit Museum, this monograph spans the last half-decade of his career, including brand new work, and unpacks his richly layered artistic practice. Organized by five artistic themes-allergory, people, space, slippages, fragments- Spinneret captures the ongoing push and pull, conceptually and materially, across the artist's practice.

The definitive monograph on the work of sculptor, installation artist, and Arte Povera pioneer Luciano Fabro Luciano Fabro was a founding member, and later leading critic, of Arte Povera, the materials- and experience-based art movement that began in Italy in the late 1960s. He went on to be exhibited internationally, becoming the first artist from the group to receive a major US retrospective, at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1992. Fabro was a controversial artist, yet still a critical favorite: in 2018 the leading art publication The Brooklyn Rail dedicated an entire issue to Fabro; and New York Times critic Roberta Smith wrote that Fabro treated 'artmaking less as a profession and more as a continuing experiment intended to keep himself entertained and the viewer slightly off-balance'. This comprehensive, heavily illustrated monograph is the first complete overview of Fabro's life and career, written by esteemed critic and curator Margit Rowell, who interacted with Fabro repeatedly in his later years, and is published with the full support and participation of the artist's estate and international galleries, Paula Cooper (New York), Christian Stein (Milan) and Simon Lee (London and Hong Kong).

A guide to the art, artists, and culture of graffiti from the 1970s to today, as told by the taggers themselves This major co-publication with the Museum of Graffiti chronicles the worldwide graffiti movement from its birth in the 1970s, through the street and train painting of the 1980s, to its emergence as an artistic genre admired in museums and sold at auction.

Told through essays, hundreds of images, and interviews with the artists - both the underground outlaws and the writers who went mainstream - The Wide World of Graffiti will become the standard-bearer of the art form's history and life today, a unique contribution from the first and only museum dedicated to graffiti as an art form.

An inspiring collection of idiosyncratic interiors assembled around eclectic collections of objects with life and history The once rarified and exclusive world of antiques is bursting open thanks to a new generation of collectors. The New Antiquarians captures 17 of the spaces of these young connoisseurs, spirited interiors formed from unorthodox approaches to collecting and living with objects with history. Flouting conventions of good taste and revealing irreverent modes of decorating with antiques that echo the way we consume visual material today, they brazenly blend the historical and the contemporary, embrace anachronism and pastiche, employ serious knowledge with wit, and consider historical objects through the lens of present-day values. The New Antiquarians, featuring residences on both sides of the Atlantic, is an exuberant and accessible entry point into the once staid world of antiques with featured collectors of all stripes, with varied interests and resources. Collectors whose homes are featured include: Jared Austin; Emily Adams Bode Aujla & Aaron Aujla; Pablo Bronstein; Collier Calandruccio; Adam Charlap Hyman; Emily Eerdmans; Jared Frank; Andrew LaMar Hopkins; Kyle Marshall; Sean McNanney & Sinan Tuncay; Avril Nolan & Quy Nguyen; Camille Okhio; Jeremy K. Simien; Abel Sloane & Ruby Woodhouse; Sam Snider; Alex Tieghi-Walker; and Giancarlo Valle & Jane Keltner de Valle.
