Paul Thek

Notebook #41, 1977

American artist Paul Thek, an influential figure in the post-1960s generation, left behind more than 100 notebooks containing drawings, diary entries, poetry, correspondences, ideas for artworks, and elaborate transcriptions of texts by philosophers or theologians. Considered by Thek to be artworks unto themselves, his notebooks provide unparalleled insight into his imagination, which he translated into sculpture, painting, and installation. This facsimile edition of one of Thek’s composition notebooks from 1977 provides an up-close experience of this intimate facet of his practice, with vivid watercolors, lists, scribbles, notes, and sketches revealing glimmers of the inner life of a legendary artist.

Lauren Quin

Eyelets of Alkaline

Text by Ariana Reines

Published to coincide with the exhibition Eyelets of Alkaline at Pace in Los Angeles, this catalogue focuses on Quin's latest body of work, in which she has turned from an "overdose" of chromatic intensity toward what she describes as a "detox of color." Though these paintings may at first appear monochromatic, they encapsulate varied tonal fields of blacks and greys, haloed by bleachfields of fugitive color. Alongside vivid illustrations and foldout pages, Lauren Quin: Eyelets of Alkaline also includes a new text by the poet, playwright, and essayist Ariana Reines.
