Ken Price (card)
Published by Frank Lloyd Gallery, Santa Monica, 2012, folding card (colour & b/w ill.), 12.7 × 17.7 cm, English
Price: €14

Invitation card produced on the occasion of Ken Price’s exhibition at Frank Lloyd Gallery, Santa Monica, 26 September–10 November.

For over 50 years, Ken Price produced small-scale, brightly colored ceramic sculptures with exquisitely worked glazed and painted surfaces in which he achieved a balance between form and surface. In recent years, Price began making works in much larger sizes. His youthful experiences as a surfer in Los Angeles greatly influenced his art, which he explained as the manifestation of that which he found pleasurable.

Writings and Interviews
Marc Camille Chaimowicz
Published by Sternberg Press, London, 2025, 728 pp. (b/w ill.), 14 × 21 cm, English
Price: €35

Marc Camille Chaimowicz (1946–2024) was an acclaimed visual artist known for his performances, installations and curatorial flair. He was also a writer. This volume, the first comprehensive collection of writings by the artist, includes seminal interviews, chitchats, jokes, performance reports, insightful statements and letters in essay form, as well as rare documents, such as early surviving leaflets, typewriter handouts and hard-to-find articles. Spanning 1971–2023, the book unlocks the work of an artist considered to be a refreshing role model for a new generation of culture mavens and style savants. Drawing from literature, modernist architecture, interior design, art theory, glam rock and camp culture, the collection reveals the artist’s inner self alongside the art, social flânerie and the goings-on of his time.
