Jack Lemon and his Landfall Press is one of a handful of fine art presses who work directly with the leading artists of our day. As Lemon notes, "in the collaborative situation, the artist relies on the printer not just for technical information but for essential judgments. . . . Communicating with artists is something I know how to do." This catalog documents 25 years of such collaboration with artists as diverse as Christo, Vito Acconci, Claes Oldenburg, and Sol LeWitt. Distributed for the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The first major book to consider the life and work of Robert Arneson, A Troublesome Subject tells the fascinating story of how a high school art teacher transformed himself into an artist of international stature and ambition. Representing the full scope of ArnesonÕs career in a rich survey of color reproductions, this book is at once a study of the trajectory of contemporary culture, the work of Robert Arneson, and the relationship between the two. It shows how ArnesonÕs work articulated the crisis of narcissism that has defined American culture since 1970. Jonathan Fineberg develops his ongoing work toward a psychosocial history of art as he proceeds through ArnesonÕs careerÑchronicling his early life, the formation of a personal style, and finding a unique subject matter in his famous post-1970 turn to self-portraiture.
