FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
This book argues that na�vism, the hos�lity especially to Catholic immigrants that led to the organiza�on of poli�cal par�es like the KnowNothings, affected the meaning of nineteenthcentury American art in ways that have gone unrecognized. Demonstrates how central this supposedly fringe movement was to viewers and makers of American art.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS
Alice Tilche charts changes in adivasi aesthe�cs, home life, a�re, food, and ideas of religiosity emerging from nego�a�on with the homogenizing forces of Hinduiza�on, development, and globaliza�on.

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS
In the midst of a devasta�ng pandemic, as theaters, galleries, and concert halls shu�ered their doors indefinitely and ins�tu�onal funding for entertainment and culture evaporated almost overnight, a cohort of highly acclaimed scholars, ar�sts, cultural cri�cs, and a journalist sat down to ponder an urgent ques�on: Are the arts essen�al?
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS
Looking at biological and social systems, the ques�on of the animal, and biopoli�cs, Cary Wolfe explores how contemporary art rivets our a�en�on on the empirically thick, emo�onally charged ques�ons of “life” and the “living” amid ecological catastrophe.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS
Early China is best known for its dazzling ar�facts, which are o�en viewed without regard to the social context of their crea�on. Anthony Barbieri-Low combines historical, epigraphic, and archaeological analysis to refocus our gaze from the gli�ering objects and monuments onto the men and women who made them.
DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
Drawing on close readings of 1960s American art, Jason A. Hoelscher offers an informa�on theory of art and an aesthe�c theory of informa�on in which he shows how art operates as informa�on wherein art's meaning cannot be determined. 1

Toward an Archival Imagination of the Future Gil Z. Hochberg
Art, Ecology, Ungiven Life Sarah Jane Cervenak
DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
Gil Z. Hochberg examines how contemporary Pales�nian ar�sts, filmmakers, dancers, and ac�vists use the archive in order to radically imagine Pales�ne's future. She shows how ar�sts reimagine the archive, approaching it not through the desire to unearth hidden knowledge, but to sever the iden�fica�on of the archive with the past.
Sarah Jane Cervenak traces how Black ar�sts and writers who create alterna�ve spaces for Black people to gather free from those Enlightenment philosophies that presume Black people and land as given to enclosure and ownership.

Larry Day (1921-1998) was a dis�nguished painter and a dominant force in American art from the 1950s through the 1990s. This celebratory catalogue will explore his contribu�ons to the art of his �me, and the las�ng power of his observa�ons and imagina�on.
In the eighth and seventh centuries BCE, bronze cauldrons featuring the image of the griffin, a mythical monster, were imported from the Near East into the Mediterranean. Nassos Papalexandrou takes the griffin cauldrons as case studies in the shi�ing material and visual universes of pre-classical an�quity.

Explores how the federal government used art educa�on for American Indian children as an instrument for the “coloniza�on of consciousness,” hoping to ins�ll the values and ideals of Western society while simultaneously maintaining a poli�cal, social, economic, and racial hierarchy.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS
The book details how late Chosŏn (ca. 1600–1900 CE) Korean elite travelers used the Kŭmgangsan Mountains to demonstrate their high social status by carving inscrip�ons, naming sites, and joining the literary pedigree of visitors to renowned locales. It introduces readers to an en�rely new field: autographic rock graffi�. 2

Envisioning Evil is an accompaniment to the exhibi�on of Mauricio Lasansky’s The Nazi Drawings, thirty-three monumental drawings examining the horrors of the Holocaust, at the Minneapolis Ins�tute of Art in 2021.

Sea�le art collectors Richard E. Lang and Jane Lang Davis were frequent visitors to New York City in the 1970s and early 1980s when they collabora�vely built their collec�on, filling their home with singular works of art. Their shared legacy and passion for engaging though�ully, deeply, and personally with art—and the frisson of excitement that arises with such a connec�on—are celebrated and echoed in this special exhibi�on catalogue.

Moche Murals and Archaeo Art History Lisa Trever
Scott and Stuart Gentling The Amon Carter Museum of American Art Foreword by Ed Ruscha
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS
Moche murals of northern Peru represent one of the great ar�s�c tradi�ons of the ancient Americas. In this first comprehensive study, Trever develops an interdisciplinary methodology of “archaeo art history” to examine how ancient histories of art can be wri�en without texts, inver�ng the typical rela�onship of art to archaeology.
Sco� Gentling (1942–2011) and Stuart Gentling (1942–2006) were brothers and lifelong collaborators whose ar�s�c interests spanned centuries and crossed con�nents. The essays and plates in this volume illuminate their careers and a�est to their contribu�ons to American crea�ve achievement.

Religion, Art, and Presence Together Anthony B. Pinn
Francisco Laso's Image of Modern Peru Natalia Majluf
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS
DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
The great nineteenth-century ar�st Francisco Laso’s pain�ngs of indigenous subjects were part of a larger project, spurred by writers and intellectuals ac�vely cra�ing a Peruvian na�on in the a�ermath of independence from Spain. This book is both an innova�ve account of modern indigenism and the first major monograph on Laso.
In Interplay of Things Anthony B. Pinn theorizes religion as a technology for interroga�ng human experiences and the boundaries between people and other things. Rather than considering religion in terms of ins�tu�ons, doctrines, and creeds, Pinn shows how religion exposes the openness and porousness of all things and how they are always involved in processes of exchange and interplay.

They also highlight the ways that ar�sts adopt systems thinking to address poli�cal, social, and ecological anxie�es.

Miniatures – canoes, houses and totems, and human figurines – have been produced on the Northwest Coast since at least the sixteenth century. What has mo�vated Indigenous ar�sts to produce these �ny artworks? So Much More Than Art convincingly dismisses the persistent understanding that miniatures are simply children’s toys or tourist trinkets.
Sichuan is home to many cave temples with monumental sculptures, the result of local inhabitants’ centuries-long tradi�on of crea�vely using their natural resources. This farranging study shows that the temples’ con�nued presence is a reminder of the urgency to preserve culture as part of today’s response to climate change.
