Louise Bourgeois: The Insomnia Drawings, Special Ltd. Edition
Louise Bourgeois, Marie-Laure Bernadac, ...

Scalo Publishers, 2001

Insomnia has been a lifetime companion of Louise Bourgeois' night hours. Between November 1994 and June 1995, she has committed to paper whatever thoughts, memories, and images surfaced during her long sleepless nights. The resulting 220 drawings are the quintessence of all the impulses, sources, and motifs inspiring her work. "The Insomnia ...

Karen Kilimnik
Ingrid Schaffner, Scott Rothkopf, ...

ICA Philadelphia, 2007

Published on the occasion of the first major museum survey of Karen Kilimnik's work, a traveling exhibition with stops in Philadelphia, Miami, Aspen and Chicago, this chic but scholarly catalogue is the most substantial on the artist to date.

Karen Kilimnik's Fancy Pictures:
Karen Kilimnik

Walther Konig, 2007

Art history becomes Karen Kilimnik. As much as paint on canvas, it is the raw material of her pictures--though she wears it lightly, and with great elan.

Yet each of the painters included in The Mystery of ...

Karen Kilimnik im Haus Zum Kirschgarten: Paintings and Installations
Karen Kilimnik

Scalo Publishers, 2005

Kirschgarten is an extravagantly glamorous artist?s book published on the occasion of American artist Karen Kilimnik?s exhibition at Haus zum Kirschgarten in Basle, a museum dedicated to 18th-century domestic culture. Kilimnik?s starting point was an unfortunate circumstance we are all familiar with: you visit a museum, you see some objects that ...

Scalo Publishers, 1997

Ignore that other review!
This book is great, and it's all about the artist in every way possible. The reason why the photos are blurry is that Kilimnik took them herself. From what I know of the artist (and that's not much, because she's pretty reclusive) her love of fashion, celebrity and ...
