Greetings! I am pleased to share with you the news that Patricia Albers, my colleague at San Jose State, has written a book on abstract artist Joan Mitchell. Titled Joan Mitchell, Lady Painter: A Life, it is being released by Knopf on May 3rd. The early reviews comment on the depth of research and the strength of the narrative of this book. Having had the pleasure of hearing Patricia Albers speak about her research on Mitchell, I would encourage you to consider this title for your collection. Patricia will also be on a book tour this summer--Illinois and Iowa are already on the map. I invite you to see more information about the book and its author on her website: http://www.patriciaalbers.net/ Joan Mitchell, Lady Painter: A Life ISBN-10: 0375414371 Best regards, Rebecca -- Rebecca Feind 408.808.2007 Associate Librarian, Dr. Martin Luther King.
