He has also contributed texts to various catalogs and publications, including e-flux journal, Kaleidoscope, and Art in America, and edited the anthology Real Abstraction and Contemporary Art (Verso). His Carlos Alfonzo: Late Paintings (William Morrow Paperbacks) is the first monograph dedicated to the artist in more than 25 years and is a companion to ICA Miami’s exhibition “Carlos Alfonzo: Late Paintings.” and fills a historical gap in the arts with newly commissioned scholarship, materials from the archives, and a comprehensive selection of paintings. The first part of the book provides the most comprehensive gathering of Alfonzo’s last works – including those responding to the AIDS crisis and his deep exploration of art historical tropes. The second part focuses on pieces from the rest of his career, from drawings and sculptures that he produced in Havana in the late 1970s to the dynamic compositions that brought him international recognition in the ’80s.
