Rarely seen paintings, sculptures, works on paper and quilts by artists from the African American South Featuring more than 75 works in various mediums, A Different Mountain explores behind-the-scenes dimensions of Southern African American artists' beliefs, working methods and aesthetic ambitions, as well as their relationships with each other and with a common patron, the pioneering collector William Arnett, founder of the Souls Grown Deep Foundation. Along with a useful introduction to the field and its emergence into wide appreciation, the book offers extended captions to guide readers inside the images and the artists' own worlds. Curated for Marlborough Gallery by Matthew Arnett and Paul Arnett, in honor of their father's cultural vision, it includes works by the artists and African American quilts from William Arnett's personal collection. Artists include Lonnie Holley, Thornton Dial, Purvis Young, James "Son" Thomas, Mary T. Smith, Joe Minter, Hawkins Bolden, Joe Light and Ronald Lockett.

More than a half-century of drawings made through "unsighted" chance procedures, from conceptualist William Anastasi In 1977, the New York-based artist William Anastasi (born 1933) began playing chess with John Cage. At that time, Anastasi was living in Harlem and would travel to Cage's 18th Street apartment via the subway. The journey became the perfect opportunity to revive his earlier experiments of creating seismographic "unsighted" drawings. With a lap-size sheet of paper, Anastasi allowed the movement of the subway to literally "make" the drawing. The Blind Drawings: 1963-2018 were created using two-dozen "unsighted" strategies. With works spanning 56 years, this volume gathers Anastasi's Dot Drawings, Subway Drawings, Walking Drawings, Pocket Drawings, Blind Self-Portraits, Waterfall Drawings, X Drawings, Eyebrow Drawings, Burst Drawings, Resignation Drawings, Drop Drawings and Still Drawings.
