This book chronicles her life and work through photographs, letters, sketches, essays, and ephemera with an emphasis on Loy’s artistic pursuits. This canonical omission matters in part because Loy didn’t see her artistic and authorial efforts as separate.
Our staff and contributors recommend titles for your next artsy summer read, including writings by Philip Guston and Sophie Calle, musings on slime, and a mystery novel set at The Met Cloisters.
