Reflections on diversity and inclusion issues from one of the most influential American art criticsPreviously published by the Andy Warhol Foundation of the Visual Arts in 1994, Between a Rock and a Hard Place is the focus of the third volume of Robert Storr's Focal Points series. In this two-part essay, Storr examines the lack of diversity among the highest levels of the museum world: drawing on situations he encountered in his own career as a curator at MoMA as well as enumerating the "aesthetic, political and practical" obstacles on the path toward inclusion both in the museum world and society at large. The work is presented with new introductory text by the author and the book's editor, art historian Francesca Pietropaolo. These fresh contributions add more context to Storr's view on the crucial subject of race division in American culture and society. Storr illustrates his arguments by addressing the work of a great breadth of American artists, including David Hammons, Byron Kim, Glenn Ligon and Adrian Piper, among others.

Bruce Nauman's work surveyed by the former Museum of Modern Art curator who organized his major 1995 retrospectiveAmerican artist Bruce Nauman (born 1941) has worked across a wide range of mediums including neon, sculpture, video, installation, performance and drawing to pursue his question of what it means to create art. Edited by art historian Francesca Pietropaolo, this book brings together for the first time a selection of essays and articles on Nauman by the eminent art critic, art historian and curator Robert Storr. The first volume of Storr's Focal Points series, featuring introductory essays by Storr and Pietropaolo, this richly illustrated book gathers six texts on Nauman previously published in the art journals Parkett (1986), Modern Painters (2009) and Art Press (2009 and 2016), and in the exhibition catalogs Bruce Nauman (1994) and A Rose Has No Teeth (2007).Robert Storr (born 1949) formerly served as Senior Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York from 1990 to 2002, where he curated a seminal retrospective exhibition on Bruce Nauman in 1995. He is currently Dean Emeritus and Professor Emeritus of Art at the Yale University School of Art.

A scholarly meditation on Reinhardt's work, bringing together his abstract painting, comics and slide lecture seriesThe second volume of Focal Points takes as its subject the work of American artist Ad Reinhardt (1913-67). An American abstract painter, he worked in New York alongside artists including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning. Renowned art critic and historian Robert Storr curated the award-winning 2013 exhibition of Reinhardt's work at David Zwirner gallery. This book brings together, for the first time, Storr's writings on Reinhardt's abstract painting--for which the artist became hugely influential on the younger generations of Minimal and Conceptual practitioners--his satirical cartoons addressing political and social issues and advocating for abstract art, and his famous slide lecture series. With introductory texts by Storr and art historian Francesca Pietropaolo, this book features an essay previously published in How to Look: Ad Reinhardt, Art Comics (2013) and a companion text, also written in 2013, that appears in print for the first time.

In a career spanning nearly 75 years, Louise Bourgeois created a vast body of work that enriched the formal language of modern art while it expressed her intense inner struggles with unprecedented candor and unpredictable invention. Her solo 1982 retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art launched an extraordinarily productive late career, making her a much-honored and vivid presence on the international art scene until her death in 2010 at the age of 98. Trained as a painter and printmaker, Bourgeois embraced sculpture as her primary medium and experimented with a range of materials over the years, including marble, plaster, bronze, wood, and latex. Bourgeois contributed significantly to Surrealism, Postminimalist, and installation art, but her work always remained fiercely independent of style or movement. With more than 1000 illustrations, Intimate Geometries: The Art and Life of Louise Bourgeois comprehensively surveys her immense oeuvre in unmatched depth. Writing from a uniquely intimate perspective, as a close personal friend of Bourgeois, and drawing on decades of research, Robert Storr critically evaluates her achievements and reveals the complexity and passion of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.
