Within a lifetime of work, Neel painted many people from many walks of life. This catalogue is the first to focus on queer communities, those who were part of their circle, as well as allies and others with whom the artist was in broader conversation—together forming a collective portrait that both embodies and complicates an understanding of the queer world of Neel's moment and the artist's place within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection of paintings includes rarely seen works depicting individuals such as Frank O'Hara, Allen Ginsberg, and Adrienne Rich, as well as writers, artists, friends, and advocates. As Als notes, this book includes \"not just portraits of gay people but those of theorists, activists, politicians, and so on who would qualify as queer by virtue of their different take in their given field and thus the world. So doing, they reflect Alice's own interest in and commitment to difference.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe catalogue accompanies Neel's first significant exhibition in Los Angeles, at David Zwirner in 2024. Edited and with a text by Als, the volume includes newly commissioned contributions by Alex Fialho, Evan Garza, and Wayne Koestenbaum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47340638077164,"sku":"9781644231302","price":110.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11217353482773.jpg?v=1772162293"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/alice-neel.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
