As an artbook seller I often see people who come to the store to do research or get inspiration. I’m always happy to help whoever but why limit yourself to only what is available at a specialized book store?
It is easier than you might think to access an art library and art librarians are the best people I know.
I’m linking to worldcat, a tool that will help you identify what library holds the title you are interested in.
Here’s a list of libraries in NYC that have amazing collections and that are open to researchers (that’s you) just make sure you make an appointment and provide a list of books from their catalogue before arriving.
-Moma (appointments are limited to certain days, can take a couple weeks to get appointments, you need to provide list of books in advance using their own tool)
-Watson at the Met (you do not need an appointment but you do need to request books in advance)
-NYPL Library (their Art and achitecture branch is in the building with the lions, you need an appointment, but they are easy to get, they will help yo but always better to ask for book in advance)
-ICP library (photobooks only, appointments can take two weeks to get, you should request books in advance)

sooo sick to see all the creativity and what topics have inspired artists to create zines since the 1970s. i felt very inspired by all of the diy design and unique typefaces.
AND they have some of the original RIOT GRRRL zines on display !!!! really really cool to see.
it’s on view through the end of this month!

“Wanna be friends?” is an underutilized tactic in adulthood. Kindergarteners know what’s up.

This is a type of walk I do almost every day. Walk in one direction until you hit a stoplight. Then immediately turn and walk in the new direction until you hit a stoplight and repeat until you get back home.
