David Gilbert’s new monograph “Lilies” is “Highbrow/Brilliant” according to New York Magazine’s Approval Matrix

Spanning more than a decade of the artist’s practice, Lillies, David Gilbert’s first monograph, reimagines the artist’s studio as a paradigmatic space for multiple personhoods and alternative energies. Gathering 114 staged photographs, each composition depicts scenes of interiority, scaled-up dioramas of the artist’s psychic landscape embodying what it might mean to be an artist. Published by Zolo Press.

Comprising fourteen photographs—each reproduced as 8 × 10-inch meticulously tri-tone printed, hand-tipped plates—Posthume is a quiet, contemplative body of work. Oversized in format and restrained in scope, the book is both elegy and invocation: a memento mori that gestures towards the old masters, Armijo McKnight’s queer identity, and his Mexican American heritage. Published by TBW Books in an oversized edition of 750, each copy of Posthume is signed by the artist.
