A richly illustrated volume—and the first exhibition catalog—of the work of the artist Allison Katz, whose multilayered paintings, ceramics, and posters are both embodied and enigmatic. London-based Canadian artist Allison Katz has been exploring painting’s relationship to questions of identity and expression, selfhood and voice, for more than a decade. Animated by a restless sense of humor, her works articulate what the artist has called a “genuine ambiguity.” Artery—a book that situates itself somewhere between a monograph, exhibition catalog, and an artist’s book—is an exploration of what is within and below, and of the infrastructural arteries that connect all of us. It is published on the occasion of Katz’s first institutional exhibition in the United Kingdom, presented at Nottingham Contemporary (2021) and Camden Art Centre, London (2022). Gathering together essays from Sam Thorne, director of Nottingham Contemporary, and Martin Clark, director of Camden Art Centre, as well as a text by the artist, Artery features 50 full-color image plates of the artist’s work that are supplemented by 150 reference images compiled by Katz herself.

This book provides a careful historical analysis of the co-evolution of educational attainment and the wage structure in the United States through the twentieth century. The authors propose that the twentieth century was not only the American Century but also the Human Capital Century. That is, the American educational system is what made America the richest nation in the world. Its educational system had always been less elite than that of most European nations. By 1900 the U.S. had begun to educate its masses at the secondary level, not just in the primary schools that had remarkable success in the nineteenth century. The book argues that technological change, education, and inequality have been involved in a kind of race. During the first eight decades of the twentieth century, the increase of educated workers was higher than the demand for them. This had the effect of boosting income for most people and lowering inequality. However, the reverse has been true since about 1980. This educational slowdown was accompanied by rising inequality. The authors discuss the complex reasons for this, and what might be done to ameliorate it.

A reflection on our changing relationship with the sea, imagined by artists such as Jeff Koons and Alison Katz It goes without saying that our relationship to the natural world, especially the sea and its enigmatic and unfathomable contents, is complex and fraught. Far from a wholesale critical condemnation of anthropocentrism, The Imaginary Sea seeks to present a balanced, multifaceted perspective of our evolving relationship with the natural world. It operates, if not in different temporalities, then in different imaginations, compiling work inspired by the sea from artists such as Jeff Koons, Miquel Barceló and Alison Katz, working across a wide range of mediums. This publication, released alongside the eponymous exhibition at the Fondation Carmignac, considers not only how artists are reevaluating our relationship with nature, but also how nature, particularly the sea, sparks our imagination. Akin to the emotional range of a Shakespearian comedy or tragedy, The Imaginary Sea intends to evoke joy, mystery, wonder and melancholy, as well as loss.

Memoirs of a Jew born in 1924 in Uzhhorod, relating how he and eight of his nine siblings survived, helping each other and other Jews. After their region of Czechoslovakia was annexed to Hungary in 1939 and the latter was then occupied by the Nazis in 1944, he and his siblings were sent into hiding. Protected by non-Jews, Katz maintained his religious observance. His parents and brother Pinchas were imprisoned in the Uzhhorod ghetto, then sent to Auschwitz, where they were killed. His brother Joe reached Switzerland when emigration was possible. In Budapest, his sister Chana hid as an "Aryan", was arrested, and escaped. She helped her sister Terry and brothers Sonny and Moshe, who had earlier helped their brother Yankel and other Jews hiding on a farm. Moshe witnessed the Sálaszi Iron Cross terror, including the mass drowning of Jewish children. After the war his sister Manca found their brother Louie very ill and nursed him back to health. Moshe helped Jewish refugees after the war, in Prague and Paris. He then moved to the U.S., where he continued living a religious life and helping Jews.
