A rich trove of more than a thousand images, drawn from the artist’s personal archive and largely unpublished before now, includes personal correspondence, journals, academic transcripts, handwritten notes, source material, exhibition announcements, clippings, and installation photographs.\n\nTogether, all of these elements provide a rare and intimate look at how an artist might make her way in the world as well as how art gets made, movements take hold, and relationships evolve over time.\n\nEach book includes a specially designed set of stickers that readers can use to customize their own cover.\n\nDistributed for the Whitney Museum of American Art\n\nExhibition Schedule:\nWhitney Museum of American Art, New York\n(11\/10\/17–02\/04\/18)\nDallas Art Museum\n(03\/25\/18–07\/29\/18)\nThe Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles\n(11\/01\/18–03\/01\/19)\nDallas Museum of Art\n(03\/25\/18–07\/29\/18)\nThe Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles\n(11\/04\/18–03\/25\/19)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whitney Museum of American Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666199371829,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300238126","price":94.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300238129_8737b00c-f011-4c0a-ac0d-7c7a1713188d.jpg?v=1784509081","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/owens-laura-9780300238129","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
