Carolee's is the second issue of The Magazine of the Artist's Institute, the publication which takes each season of the Artist's Institute as a point of departure for new criticism, journalism, fiction, interviews and artist projects, developed around the work of a single artist. Dedicated to Carolee Schneemann (born 1939), this issue features a previously unpublished archive of images from Schneemann's studio that documents half a century of morphological connections between her work and other visual material, including art, advertising and popular culture. Published following the Artist's Institute's season of exhibitions and programming examining Schneemann's expanded conception of the body as material, Carolee's includes a new long-form profile of Schneemann by writer Maggie Nelson that considers the artist's relationship to the history of her reception and Schneemann's significant influence on subsequent generations of feminists.

The four large-format pictures, which Gerhard Richter first called "abstract pictures," but later titled Birkenau, were produced in 2014. They were based on photos taken at an execution. An essay by art historian Benjamin H. D. Buchloh explains the creation of these pictures. Richter has also made archive photos, documenting phases of the painting process, available for use in this book.

An indispensable and fun guide to the contemporary art world.
