The definitive publication on internationally acclaimed artist Shahzia Sikander, one of the most influential feminist artists working today

Poems and photographs from a painter whose gestural articulations and lush, textured landscapes draw comparisons to Klimt, Van Gogh and Soutine

This book comprises never before published or exhibited poetry and photography by the Canadian artist Matthew Wong (1984–2019), whose too-brief life yielded astonishing paintings in addition to work featured here. An introduction by Wong’s friend and fellow poet John Wall Barger sheds light on the genesis of the poems and the ambition in Wong to faithfully describe the wonder and desolation of an artist’s inner life. John Cheim, founder of New York gallery Cheim & Read and an accomplished book designer, selected the photographs and designed this volume.
The institutional recognition of Matthew Wong’s achievements can be gauged by his four solo exhibitions at prominent galleries in New York, two museum shows in North America and Matthew Wong | Vincent Van Gogh: Painting as a Last Resort, the artist’s first European survey at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.
The critical and popular appeal of Wong’s paintings and drawings is considerable. Six Feet Short of the Moon is the definitive introduction to Wong’s poetic and photographic artistic practice, two critical components of his creative life.

From initial design to finished product, Marx walks the reader through his new experimental printing process

In collaboration with Berlin-based screenprinter Björn Wiede, German artist Stefan Marx (born 1979) has developed his own technique for his monotypes. Many of these feature Marx’s signature wry quotations, but also include figurative motifs such as animal drawings and other symbols from his pictorial inventory.
