Fabric of a Nation: American Quilt Stories reveals a rich, complex and often overlooked history of North America as told from individual experiences manifested within the tradition of quiltmaking. The book illustrates how quilts are more than material objects of comfort and aesthetic beauty. They are archives of social, political and cultural histories.鈥

鈥淚n this pandemic year of missing most everything, we鈥檝e been trained to look for silver linings wherever possible. So here鈥檚 mine: [Cy Twombly: Making Past Present], which I got a few months back, is gorgeous.鈥
鈥擬urray Whyte, The Boston Globe

鈥淚n these flattened times, Writing the Future conveys motion. The book, a companion to a suspended exhibition at Boston鈥檚 Museum of Fine Arts, is about Basquiat, his contemporaries, and early hip-hop culture, but it鈥檚 also about the movements and rhythms of New York City鈥'the work of the subway writers became as optically and optimally omnipresent as the Manhattan skyline,' Greg Tate writes. And in its dynamic blend of art, history, and analysis, it has a movement of its own.鈥
鈥擠an Adler, Vanity Fair

About Writing the Future: 鈥淭o leaf through this prodigy鈥檚 oeuvre intermingled with photos of what he called 'just 鈥 you know, my friends and stuff'; of their tags brightening storefronts and subway cars, of the boomboxes and leather jackets and reference books they at once desecrated and elevated, is to hold in your hands the record of a place and a time and a togetherness we can only hope one day to experience again.鈥
鈥擫auren Christensen, 鈥婽he New York Times Book Review

Boston Sunday Globe

鈥淸The Priest, the Prince, the Pasha is] a feat of storytelling that makes 鈥楻aiders of the Lost Ark鈥 look like kid stuff.鈥
The Wall Street Journal

鈥淸滨苍 Holland on Paper, Cliff] Ackley has, in this stunning volume, contributed significantly to the larger project of opening up to the English-speaking world an intriguing chapter in what has until recently been among the best kept secrets of modern art. With the appearance of this splendidly illustrated and valuable book, the secret is out.鈥
鈥擩oan E. Greer, Art in Print

鈥淭he large reproductions in [John Singer Sargent Watercolors], several with accompanying details, offer some of the best viewing of his work in printed form. Seduction will lead to Dazzle.鈥
