Calling all bibliophiles! 📚 We’re celebrating National Book Lovers Day with some of our favorite monographs from . Scroll through for our staff picks, plus a special surprise from at the end!

Staff Picks
Halden Willard (), Sales Associate and Manager of

“Vince Aletti: The Drawer” ($60)
Why we love it: Aletti is one of the most important American photography critics and curators. He was also an early champion of artists like Peter Hujar and Nan Goldin. “The Drawer” chronicles his collection of printed matter and photo-based ephemera. It’s a deeply personal, often funny, and exhilarating chronicle of visual culture and q***r life over the last 50 years.

📕

Catharine Clark (), Owner and Founding Director

“Joel Daniel Phillips and Quraysh Ali Lansana: Killing the Negative: A Conversation in Art & Verse” ($50)
Why we love it: Phillips’s solo exhibition, “A Compelling Narrative,” continues his exploration of the United States Farm Security Administration’s photo documentation of the Great Depression. The FSA’s photos were often used to sell the New Deal and its social programs to the American public. “Killing the Negative” documents how this project began, pairing Phillips’s powerful and haunting renderings of “cancelled” images from the FSA’s archives with poems from invited poets (selected by Lansana), including U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo.

📕

Anton Stuebner (), Partner and Director

“Carrie Mae Weems: Kitchen Table Series” ($60)
Why we love it: Long out of print, Weems’s extraordinary monograph tells the story of one woman’s life through a series of intimate encounters at her kitchen table. Weems’s work is sensual, playful, sober, and vulnerable, often all at once. This book is more than a slice of life—it tells a full story of life itself, in all its beautiful complexities, across 20 images and 14 text panels.

📖

Bonus Image!

Lenka Clayton, “Anger Management” ($500)
This is a sculptural edition with the magic ingredients of “Anger Management” the book plus anger! 🪄🔥

Opening Thursday! Catharine Clark Gallery is excited to announce its participation in the inaugural .art in North Adams, MA. Founded and organized by Yng-Ru Chen, Crystalle Lacouture, and Sarah Galender Meyer, an invitational, biannual art fair situated in the Berkshires mountains of western Massachusetts, equidistant from New York City and Boston.

Catharine Clark Gallery presents a solo presentation of typewriter drawings, textiles, and sculptures by , in conversation with collaborative video works by Lenka Clayton and Phillip Andrew Lewis. Clayton’s widely acclaimed and beloved work engages with everyday situations, extending the familiar into the realms of the poetic and absurd. Clayton is the founder of An Artist Residency in Motherhood, a self-directed, open-source artist residency program that takes place in the homes of artists who are also parents.

Clayton has created a new series of “Typewriter Drawings” — rendered a portable 1957 Smith-Corona Skyriter typewriter — that playfully respond to the space of a hotel and its transient visitors. One drawing reflects on the ratio of births versus deaths in hotel rooms (they are, surprisingly, almost equal), while another depicts a nest of tangled necklaces left for housekeeping to sort out.

Congratulations to artist on the opening of her dazzling and extraordinarily crafted exhibition “Body of Land, Body of Water,” on view this weekend at .

Hours:
Saturday, May 17, 2025 from 12 – 3 PM
Tuesday, May 20, 2025 from 5 – 7:30 PM with artist talk by Eleanor Scholz & Daniela Tinoco at 6 PM (401 Tunnel), Josué Rojas at 6:30 PM (503 Tunnel), and Laurel Roth Hope at 7 PM (503 Tunnel).

Admission is free and open to the public – no reservation is required. All ages are welcome and the site is wheelchair accessible.

Location
Recology Art Studios
503 and 401 Tunnel Avenue, San Francisco

Across Laurel Roth Hope’s meticulously crafted series of sculptures, we see wooden, skeletal bodies caught in a state of indeterminacy, their internal systems laid open and vulnerable. They seem to be somewhere between summoning organs from our eternal consumer waste and slowly breaking apart, leaving behind the parts that stubbornly refuse to biodegrade back into the earth. The sculptures are seductive in their intricately crafted details: curving wood grain, beaded bursts of texture, wires laid in sinewy rows. The forms sink into the surfaces of the work, a plastic rope mat that suggests the span of an ultramarine ocean; a corporeal topography that roots the human figure within the landscape. As suggested through her title–“Body of Land, Body of Water”–these suggest an embodied cartography orienting us to our place in the environment and geologic time.

A Mother’s Day miracle! In advance of the holiday weekend, the inimitable created three more beaded ci******es in her project “I Wish I Was a Smoker,” including a cigarette with an extra long ash ($200). Because what mom doesn’t love a nice (and safe!) vice.

DM us for details, or visit to give them a “puff” for yourself (readers: please DO NOT smoke them).

Salon walls are no laughing matter - but we sure are having fun! and are hard at work installing our group show, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?”, a special spring exhibition drawing inspiration from Pete Seeger’s 1955 folk song on the same name, which became an anthem for social action in the 1960s.
