Jealousy
by Catherine Millet, Mary Stevenson (ed.)
Catherine Millet’s best-selling The Sexual Life of Catherine M. was a landmark booka portrait of a sexual life lived without boundaries and without a safety net. Described as eloquent, graphicand sometimes even poignant” by Newsweek, and as [perhaps] one of the most erotic books ever written” by Playboy, it drew international attention for its audacity and the apparently superhuman sangfroid of Millet and her partner, Jacques Henric, with whom she had an extremely public and active open relationship. Millet’s follow-up answers the first book’s implicit question: how do you avoid jealousy? I had love at home,” Millet explains. I sought only pleasure in the world outside.” But one day she discovers a letter in their apartment that makes clear Jacques is seriously involved with someone else. Jealousy details the crisis provoked by this discovery, and Millet’s attempts to reconcile her need for freedom and sexual liberation with the very real heartache that Jacques’s infidelity causes. If The Sexual Life of Catherine M. seemed to disregard emotion, Jealousy is its radical complement: the paradoxical confession of a libertine who discovers that love, in any of its forms, can have a dark side.

The Sexual Life of Catherine M.
A national best-seller that was featured on such lists as The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, The Boston Globe, and Publishers Weekly, The Sexual Life of Catherine M. was the controversial sleeper hit of the year. Since her youth, Catherine Millet, the eminent editor of Art Press, has led an extraordinarily active and free sexual life -- from al fresco encounters in Italy to a gang bang on the edge of the Bois du Boulogne to a high-class orgy at a chichi Parisian restaurant. A graphic account of sex stripped of sentiment, of a life of physical gratification and a relentlessly honest look at the consequences -- both liberating and otherwise -- have created this candid, powerful, and deeply intelligent depiction of unfettered sexuality.

Jealousy: The Other Life of Catherine M.
Catherine Millet's best-selling The Sexual Life of Catherine M. was a landmark book — a portrait of a sexual life lived without boundaries and without a safety net. Described as "eloquent, graphic — and sometimes even poignant" by Newsweek, and as "[perhaps] one of the most erotic books ever written" by Playboy, it drew international attention for its audacity, and the apparently superhuman sangfroid required of Millet and her partner, Jacques Henric, with whom she had an extremely public and active open relationship. Now, Millet's follow-up answers the first book's implicit question: How did you avoid jealousy? "I had love at home," Millet explains, "I sought only pleasure in the world outside." But one day she discovered a letter in their apartment that made it clear that Jacques was seriously involved with someone else. Jealousy details the crisis provoked by this discovery, and Millet's attempts to reconcile her need for freedom and sexual liberation with the very real heartache that Jacques's infidelity caused. If The Sexual Life of Catherine M. seemed to disregard emotion, Jealousy is its radical complement: the paradoxical confession of a libertine who discovers that love, in any of its forms, can have a dark side.

Jaume Plensa One Thought Fills Immensity
by Brooke Kamin Rapaport, Catherine Millet, Clare Lilley, Jeremy Strick, Fumio Nanjo
Internationally celebrated Spanish artist Jaume Plensa has emerged as one of the most significant voices in contemporary sculpture. For over thirty years, Plensa has created a multifaceted body of work that interplays traditional materials with unconventional media on monumental and intimate scales. Deftly working in steel, cast iron, resin, glass and stone, Plensa has traversed the globe with his public works and international exhibitions including at the Reina Sofia (Spain), Yorkshire Sculpture Park (United Kingdom), and the Musee National Jeu de Paume (France). From the Crown Fountain in Chicago, a modern day agora in an urban landscape, to Echo , the monumental, yet serene portrait which greets Seattle's citizens by land and sea, Plensa's nomadic practice speaks to the capacity and beauty of humanity, celebrating the similarities of the world's seemingly divergent cultures.
Published in partnership with Richard Gray Gallery, One Thought Fills Immensity takes a comprehensive look at the artist's practice since the 1980s. Illustrated in this volume are works on paper and sculpture that highlight Plensa's overlapping themes while exploring the breadth within his lifelong practice of working in both abstraction and figuration. With over 200 color plates and contributions from an international group of scholars including Clare Lilley, Yorkshire Sculpture Park; Catherine Millet, Artpress; Fumio Nanjo, Mori Art Museum; Brooke Kamin Rappaport, Madison Square Park Conservancy; and Jeremy Strick, Nasher Sculpture Center, One Thought Fills Immensity is the essential publication for collectors and critics alike.
