*Please excuse cross-postings* The Southeast Chapter of ARLIS/NA is pleased to announce the winners of its 31st Annual Mary Ellen LoPresti Art Publication Awards for excellence in art publishing for the copyright year 2014! Winning entries are detailed below. Winner - Monographs The Landscape Painting of China: Musings of a Journeyman. Harrie A. Vanderstappen. University Press of Florida, 2014. This impressive monograph covers the great art of Chinese landscape painting from the 9th century through the early 17th century. A life's work by renowned scholar on Chinese art Professor Harrie Vanderstappen (University of Chicago) and edited by Roger E. Covey (Tang Research Foundation) this one volume book is a feast of scholarship and images with over two hundred full color reproductions and densely annotated essays. This book will make an excellent addition to any art or landscape architecture library and is a valuable resource for the scholar and interested reader alike. Winner - Exhibition Catalogues Beatriz Milhazes: Jardim Botânico. Tobias Ostrander, Tanya Barson, and Paulo Herkenhoff. Pérez Art Museum Miami, 2014. This catalogue documents the first major U.S. retrospective exhibition of the Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes. The exhibition featured large-scale abstract paintings produced over the last 25 years that were informed by various precedents in the history of art and pop culture, including Baroque painting, European Modernism, graffiti, and the decorations of Carnival. The judging committee was particularly impressed with the high production value of this catalogue, which features full-color plates and decorative spot varnish that mimic the artist's style. The catalogue is complete with essays, a list of works, chronology, and bibliography, and pays homage to the artist's native land with Spanish translations. Milhazes' work had previously been unexamined in the United States, making this catalogue the most comprehensive resource on her work and a scholarly exploration of its place in the development of Western abstraction.
