As New/As New. 412pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Text in English. Designed by Pascal Dangin. With a chronology, bibliography and exhibition history. "Felix Gonzalez-Torres, one of the most influential artists of his generation, lived and worked resolutely according to his own democratic ideology, determined to "make this a better place for everyone." Combining principles of conceptual art, minimalism, political activism and poetic beauty, Gonzalez-Torres's ever-changing arsenal included public billboards, give-away piles of candy or posters, and ordinary objects (clocks, mirrors, light fixtures) often used to startling effect. His work challenged the notions of public and private space, originality, authorship and most significantly, the authoritative structure in which he functioned. In the spirit of the artist's method, Julie Ault has amassed a comprehensive monograph of this important artist that rethinks the very idea of what a monograph should be. The book places strong emphasis on the written word, and contains texts by Robert Storr, Robert Nickas, Russell Ferguson, Lewis Baltz, Nancy Spector, Joseph Kosuth, and Miwon Kwon among other notables, as well as significant critical essays, exhibition statements, transcripts from lectures, personal correspondence, and writings that influenced Gonzalez-Torres and his work. With ample visual documentation, we see works not just in their finality, but often witness their transformation over a lifespan. This collection is a critical reference for the history of contemporary art".

Self-published in 1970, "Impersonations" is Los Angeles-based artist Scott Grieger's wildly hilarious, photographically illustrated artist's book of send-ups of iconic works by many of the then-prevailing luminaries of Pop, Conceptual and Minimal Art. Using the photographic studio and some darkroom magic, the hirsute Grieger clad in jeans, desert boots, and a white t-shirt substitutes himself for artworks ranging from a Barnett Newman "zip" to one of Robert Irwin's illuminated disc paintings. The fifteen artists receiving these wry homages are Ronald Bladen, Tony DeLap, Robert Grosvenor, Irwin, Les Levine, Sol LeWitt, John McCracken, Robert Morris, Newman, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, George Rickey, Richard Serra, Robert Smithson, and Ernest Trova.
