David Hockney: The East Yorkshire Landscape illustrates an extraordinary body of painting by the artist, who in recent years, has returned to the pastoral landscape of his youth, in order to capture the vistas and changing seasons of his surrounding environs in Northern England. Five large-scale six-canvas paintings of the Woldgate Woods debuted in Hockney's solo exhibition at L.A. Louver Gallery, located in Venice, California (February 9 - March 24, 2007); these same pictures were later exhibited at Tate Britain, London (June 11 - October 28, 2007) and at the Arts Club of Chicago (April 25 - July 18, 2008). Eight smaller paintings from this period are also illustrated in great detail in the catalogue, which features an introduction by L.A. Louver Director Peter Goulds, and text by David Hockney. Designed by Stefan Bucher, 344 Design.

Juan Usle: OJO-NIDO captures the paintings and poetry of the Spanish painter, on the occasion of his 2008 solo exhibition at L.A. Louver in Venice, California (May 22 - July 5, 2008). In his essay entitled Beauty and All That Jazz, curator and writer Kevin Power reflects on Usle's intellectual and aesthetic explorations through composition and mark-making, and juxtaposes the artist's analytical, vibrant approach to painting with musical and literary references. Sixteen paintings, created in studios in New York and Cantabria, Spain, are fully illustrated, alongside poems written by Usle -- printed in both Spanish and English -- related to each of the works. OJO-NIDO invites admirers of Usle into the canny dimensionality of his work, beyond the plane of the canvas. Design by Stefan Bucher, 344 Design.

Published on the occasion of the artist's 2009 solo exhibition at L.A. Louver Gallery, Deborah Butterfield offers a unique portrait of the artist's work, as well as of the landscape and forms from which she derives her inspiration. An intimate interview by Lawrence Weschler provides insight into Butterfield's philosophy and process, while personal photography by the artist of her studios in Montana and Hawaii, her horses, and sculptures at various points of making allows an unprecedented glimpse into her creative environments. Detailed photos and installation shots of new sculpture from her gallery exhibition (April 9 - May 9, 2009), along with images of works represented by L.A. Louver over the course of Butterfield's association with the gallery, give a further view of the scale, scope and methods with which the artist conveys her powerful works of abstract figuration. With an introduction by L.A. Louver Director Kimberly Davis, and designed by Stefan Bucher, 344 Design.
