OUT OF STOCK Shadows of a Hand: The Drawings of Victor Hugo Nearly as prolific in the visual arts as he was in literature, Victor Hugo produced thousands of drawings in his lifetime.

Shadows of a Hand was the first museum exhibition in the United States devoted to Hugo’s drawings, featuring works from the collections of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France; Maison de Victor Hugo in Paris; Musée du Louvre; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Dijon; The Art Institute of Chicago; and private collections. The catalogue includes essays by Florian Rodari, Pierre Georgel, Luc Sante, and Marie-Laure Prévost. DRAWING 1998, 10.5 x 11.5 inches, 160 pp, 102 illus Softcover, ISBN 1858940508 code: dc hugo

OUT OF STOCK Willem de Kooning: Drawing Seeing/Seeing Drawing Influential artist Willem de Kooning (1904-1997) regularly created series of drawings, sometimes continuing them intermittently over a decade. Despite de Kooning’s renown as a painter and draftsman, there have been no publications to look at selected groups of his drawings in depth. This book, and the traveling exhibition organized by The Drawing Center, presents four groups of drawings de Kooning made between 1958 and the late 1970s, affording a closer view of de his working process and his constant reinvention of mark-making.

OUT OF STOCK Eva Hesse Drawing Eva Hesse (1936-1970) was a highly experimental artist who continually challenged the conventions of her time. For Hesse, drawing played a unique role, providing the nexus between her works in all media. Eva Hesse Drawing is the first book to explore her drawing process, following her work from drawing to painting and sculpture, and always back to drawing. The book features important, recently rediscovered “working drawings,” providing an intimate look at Hesse’s everyday practice and methodology. An accomplished draftswoman, Hesse began to develop her wandering, tentative line while studying at Yale University in the late 1950s. Her early 1960s works on paper engaged with visual vocabularies from geometry to biomorphic abstraction. In 1965, Hesse combined her tactile sensibility for materials with her string-like line to achieve a breakthrough: her astonishing reliefs, which began to bridge the space between two and three dimensions. Balancing the disembodiment of line with its intensified materialization, Hesse went on to develop one of the most innovative oeuvres of the twentieth century, anticipating the hybridization of media and crossing borderlines linking one impossible space to another. Edited by Catherine de Zegher, Director of The Drawing Center. DRAWING 2006, 8.5x10 inches, 344 pp, 33 b&w and 199 color illus Hardcover, ISBN 9780300116182 code: dc eva
