GRAY is pleased to announce Alex Katz: Collaborations with Poets, a hardcover monograph published in conjunction with the eponymous exhibition at the Poetry Foundation in Chicago. The first comprehensive survey of Alex Katz’s collaborations with poets—including some of the most acclaimed American writers of the 20th century—this 208-page book features portraits, book and journal covers, and unique artworks from the past 60 years.
On the occasion of Counterpublic 2023, Torkwase Dyson presents Bird and Lava (Scott Joplin), a commissioned, immersive architectural and sonic installation. This new sculptural work is inspired by the legacy of pianist and composer Scott Joplin and the musical freedom Joplin found in ragtime music, which is credited as the first truly "American" musical form - a syncopated blend of classical piano and African polyrhythms with mathematical precision.
