2018ref. 204577New York NY: Lehmann Maupin Gallery 2018. Softcover. VG. Quarto. Softcover. Illustrated covers. 56 pages : color illustrations ; 31 cm. "The title of the exhibition is inspired by amateur meteorologist Luke Howard's Essay on the Modification of Clouds which met with great acclaim when it was presented as a lecture in 1802. The poet Mark Strand recently wrote "Clouds are thoughts without words" yet Howard was able to give names to the ungraspable. By classifying and naming the clouds he influenced painters and poets alike. Observing daily atmospheric phenomena in the two cities where the artist divides her time--Durban South Africa where clouds are often tumultuous and Los Angeles where skies are mostly blue--Lou began to make cloud paintings en plein air. This exhibition features the resulting monumentally scaled work The Clouds 2015-2018 recently exhibited in the 21st Biennale of Sydney. Stretching 50 feet across by 23 feet high in Lehmann Maupin's new gallery space The Clouds is comprised of a grid of 600 beaded cloths which are hand sewn in her Durban studio. These cloths become the surface upon which the artist paints and then partially smashes the beads away with a hammer revealing the paint-stained network of thread beneath. The materiality of the cloths is in stark contrast with the groundlessness of passing clouds."--Exhibition press release. Lehmann Maupin Gallery paperback books

2011ref. 159646New York: Rizzoli 2011. Hardcover. VG no writing or marks. Color-illus. boards with peach spine. 172 pp. with color images throughout. The first monograph on the popular New York-based artist Will Cotton best known for his large-scale portraits of female nudes in candy-coated dreamlike landscapes. Will Cotton is best known for his depictions of “landscapes” composed of sweets: fondant frostings peppermint sticks marshmallows and cotton-candy clouds often inhabited by languidly posed females. Executed with flawless skill and technique Cotton’s work is an optical delight and is formally resonant with the influences of seventeenth-century rococo paintings the nudes of Bouguereau and Cabanel and the classic American pin-ups of George Petty and Alberto Vargas. Cotton’s figures are often inspired by models such as burlesque performers and fellow artists from the art film and music worlds. This book is a celebration of Cotton’s work in all mediums: prints drawings canvases and public events. In addition to this elegantly designed trade volume a limited edition of one hundred copies accompanied by a signed and numbered print will be available through Pace Prints. Rizzoli hardcover books
2005ref. 19828New York: Aperture 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. Paper pastedown. Like New. Showcasing the work of this most painter-ly of portrait photographers who specialized particularly in portraits of children. Not for Lux the saccharine juvenile portrait though. Her take is in line with Surrealism and the crisply sharp photos show children that look as if they could have been from "The Village of the Damned". The enigmatic quality of the portrayals suggests an intelligence secrets an emotional depth perhaps. The images are ones that linger in the mind! 4to. 28.5 by 25 cm. 95 1 pp. With promo for Aperture magazine that was inserted loosely into the book when first for sale. Aperture hardcover books
