Originally produced to coincide with last year’s retrospective at the Mitchell-Innes & Nash gallery, this catalogue centred around the late avant-garde artist, Jay DeFeo, chronicles the bulk of her working life. It features 50 key works from 1965 to 1989, including paintings, drawings, photographs and little-seen photocopy pieces, as well as an essay by Walead Beshty entitled The Ritual of Everyday Life: On the Migrating Objects of Jay DeFeo. For anyone fascinated by the Beat movement and Semina-associated artists, it is sure to be a must.

The Canadian-born visual artist Brent Wadden is equal parts painter, weaver, and craftsman – relying on hand loomed, painted tapestries to convey his distinctive sensibility and recognizable deployment of geometric forms. Having shown at such iconic institutions as Peres Projects in Berlin and Saatchi Gallery in London, this marks his first exhibition at Mitchell-Innes & Nash since joining the gallery in 2014. On view until the end of the month, Wadden’s large-scale wool, cotton, and acrylic paint works aren’t done justice in photos, so don’t miss it if you're in New York.
