With extensive new scholarship based on original research and interviews with the artist, this book is the definitive account of Johns’s work in a subversive medium situated between painting, drawing, and printmaking. As with all the books I made as the gallery's editorial director, I led every aspect of the project, from commissioning the authors to approving the printer's proofs. But this book stands out, particularly for the depth of art-historical research that went into its 32,000 words of scholarly text. The main essay, by art historian Jennifer L. Roberts, remains one of the most thoughtful pieces of writing I've ever commissioned.

I commissioned this short film about Terry Winters from award-winning documentary director Matt Wolf. Shot at the artist's studio in upstate New York, it features Winters working on several large-scale canvases while discussing his personal philosophy of painting. During the editing process, I worked closely with Wolf to cut and sequence the interview clips into an engaging, coherent account of Winters's working method and the genesis of his most recent group of paintings.

This book was my attempt at a new kind of art history. Aware that a single author could never capture today's art in all its dazzling complexity, I commissioned eight influential figures in contemporary art and asked each to select and write about twenty-five pivotal works made between 1986 and 2010. Through those two hundred works, examined from eight very different perspectives, the book provides multiple interweaving stories about art's development during this fractured period. The result was the most complicated project I had ever undertaken. I worked closely with the authors, from their selection of works to the editing of their esssays. I hired and trained a project editor to fact-check the texts and to source nearly two thousand images from several dozen galleries, studios, and museums. For the promotional campaign, I helped produce a short film about the book, and I hosted a round-table discussion with the eight authors at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
