Stop by and see our September exhibition spotlighting the late Yayoi Kusama. She was a Japanese artist best known for sculpture and installation, but she also worked in painting, performance, video, fashion, poetry, fiction and other arts; her work was rooted in conceptual art and showed traces of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, art brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism.

From the Artist- "Ever wonder how we ended up with so many different styles of letters? Open any text editor, email client, or design app and you will immediately be bombarded with a buffet of typographic choices. Serif or sans serif? Display or text? Classical or contemporary? Formal or casual? Featuring seventeen stunning interactive pop-ups, this ABC book explains—and demonstrates—the technologies and philosophies that have shaped letterforms through the ages."

From the 9/11 Memorial and Museum- "A Place of Remembrance honors the fallen and celebrates the spirit of hope as it tells the emotional story behind the creation of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, from the tragic events of 9/11 to the process of rebuilding on these eight sacred acres in downtown Manhattan. Like the Memorial, this official commemorative book is a lasting tribute to those lost in New York, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon, and it lists the names of all the victims and where to find the inscriptions on the Memorial."
