As New/As New. 90pp, 35 color illustrations. With a biography, exhibition checklist, exhibition history, bibliography, and collections listing. "Anthony Hernandez' "Pictures From Rome" (1998-99), made while he was a fellow at the American Academy, makes no reference to any iconic images of that historic city and its famous edifices. Instead, these elegantly disturbing color photographs examine what could be considered a series of unofficial urban monuments composed from the distressed architectural elements and detritus found inside abandoned buildings". Not unlike his recent work of abandoned homeless dwellings, these stark color images find great beauty in the solitude of urban decay. A brand new, pristine example from the deluxe edition limited to one hundred copies (issued in numbered editions of twenty-five copies each of four different images) BOLDLY SIGNED "Anthony Hernandez" in black ink on the title page with the 9 ¾ x 9 ¾" SIGNED AND NUMBERED (1/25) color Iris Print "Along The River Tiber" laid in, as issued. 1-889195-45-6 Inventory Number: 023943

Shaniqwa Jarvis: Everywhere You Go There You Are
(JARVIS, SHANIQWA). Los Angeles, 2023: Shaniqwa Jarvis in collaboration with Control Gallery, I00230729. . Limited Edition of 300 copies. 8 1/2 x 9 inches. Paperback. New.
"Jarvis embarks on a quest to reconnect with a sense of place and redefine the concept of home through her compelling visual art. Delving into the interplay of solitude, nostalgia, and self-connection, Everywhere You Go, There You Are shines a light on an often overlooked aspect of Jarvis’ evolving career. This new body of work diverges from the emotional portraiture she is renowned for, encompassing medium and large format photographs —significantly marking her expansion into painted textiles and collages, which are a nod to the innocence of youth. Through these mediums, Jarvis explores the essence of childlike wonder and creativity, adding depth and layers to her story of place and identity.
'I am making images that people may not want to see from me, which I often see as part of my own identity politics. When I step back and look at what my memory allowed me to forget, I see that no matter where you go, there you are. These beautiful yet banal moments serve as reminders to pay attention, to be present, and to create deliberately.' shares Shaniqwa Jarvis." - Control Gallery
