Incredibly thankful for our designer Henk van Assen working with us on Morton Kaish: The Light Beyond

Photographs, memories, colors, and the quiet work of honoring a life in art. Page by page, the book comes together.

We miss Morton so much — his light is everywhere in this process.

The book, published with Abbeville Press, and essays by
Annette Blaugrund and David Ebony will be released this Fall.

Heartney concludes, “This exhibition of Kaish’s Burntworks arrives at a moment when numerous non-canonical artists are being rediscovered and celebrated. These works are a reminder of the richness of art historical moments that we only think we know.”

We’re grateful for Eleanor Heartney’s thoughtful engagement with Luise’s work.
