The cover of a book titled

Julia Chiang (monograph)

For one day only, get your copy of Chiang’s book signed by the artist herself. This first monograph on the artist presents her work from the late 1990s to the present. Through paintings and ceramics, Chiang explores a sense of connectivity, of the body in nature and the environment that surrounds us. 

The book features an essay by Eugenie Tsai, writer and former Senior Curator at the Brooklyn Museum, as well as a conversation with the artist and Jasmine Wahi, Founder and Co-Director of Project for Empty Space, New York City and Newark, New Jersey. Published by JRP|Editions, 2025.
