A spring reading list highlights several notable art publications. 'Chicano Camera Culture' includes a 1974 photograph of Dolores Huerta wearing a United Farmworkers sweater vest. Susan Simensky Bietila has released a new memoir, while Molly Crabapple's book on the Jewish Bund launches with a talk featuring Naomi Klein at the New York Public Library. Theresa Hak Kyung Cha receives her first major catalog in over two decades. Nathan Gelgud created a comic about Frank O'Hara's curatorial work at the Museum of Modern Art, where he organized exhibitions during the Cold War and supported artists like Helen Frankenthaler. Joel Meyerowitz's book of photographs exploring Giorgio Morandi's preserved studio in Bologna is being rereleased, with Meyerowitz describing Morandi's arrangements as 'assembling a force field of geometric objects.' An expanded edition of Meyerowitz's 'Wild Flowers' photo book is also available. Ryan N. Dennis reflects on collapsing silos between curatorial and educational museum work. The list was compiled by Lakshmi Rivera Amin.
