The book features 21 paintings and 26 works on paper—drawings, watercolors, sketchbooks, and monotypes—that span the three decades of Brown’s career to date, including recently completed and never-before published works. A conversation with the artist provides insight into her process and sources, while an insightful essay situates Brown in the lineage of the great artists of the last five hundred years.\n\nPublished by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press\n\nExhibition Schedule: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\n(April 4–December 3, 2023)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Metropolitan Museum of Art New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983939629109,"sku":"ByrdShop_1588397610","price":316.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781588397614_54bae02a-340c-4e1b-b9a4-9597fc77f928.jpg?v=1778701924","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/cecily-brown-death-and-the-maid-9781588397614","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
