WORLDWIDE BOOKS

Greetings,

In the previous issue of this newsletter, we stated that the exhibition "The Great Inka Road" was not due to open until 2018, and that the accompanying catalogue (Worldwide 36615) had been published well in advance of the show. This was incorrect: the exhibition opened on June 26th of this year at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., and runs until June 1, 2018. We apologize for the error.

Please note that in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday, Worldwide will be closed on Thursday, November 26, and Friday, November 27.

Museum Publications

Using thousands of nickel-plated steel pins pressed into white boards, American artist Tara Donovan (b. 1969) creates innovative mixed-media works that blur the distinction between drawing and sculpture, many of the visually rich compositions incorporating shimmering gradients. A recent exhibition at the Pace Gallery in New York featured nearly 70 of these meticulously composed works. (Worldwide 36679)

The Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, presented recent works by Brooklyn-based artist Alyson Shotz (b. 1964), including prints, ceramics, large-scale sculptures, a wall drawing, an animation and a site-specific installation commissioned by the museum for its permanent collection. The show subsequently traveled to the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, Charleston. (Worldwide 36770)
