The first-ever comprehensive bilingual monograph on the artist who possesses a singular ability to unspool memory, migration and material --the New York Times

Published with KMEC Books .

Across the span of five decades, the Chicago- and New York-based Diasporican artist Candida Alvarez (born 1955) has cultivated a distinct nonhierarchical relationship between abstraction and figuration, thoughtfully interweaving personal narrative and conceptual strategies within her paintings, drawings and collages. Despite her consistent contributions to the New York art scene, there have been limited publications dedicated to the artist. Circle, Point, Hoop rectifies this oversight, offering the first-ever bilingual (English/Spanish) survey of Alvarez's practice. The volume features high-resolution reproductions from every stage of the artist's career--from her early figurative paintings that reflect upon her hybrid identity to her conceptual works of the '90s that incorporate language games to her contemporary works that fuse both formal and thematic approaches. Brimming with newly commissioned essays, the volume is supplemented by archival materials, such as photographs and posters.
