Paintings gathers small-format works by the American artist Karen Kilimnik from recent years. Her vedute of English country houses and enchanted fairy-tale castles she imbues with a romantic-melodramatic touch. She emphatically portrays three Angora cats like the Three Graces, shows exotic ducks recalling Géricault's chickens, paints a kestrel as if it were a commission for the Emir of Qatar, and devotedly paints butterflies in the night. Again and again she paints the old legend of the price that fame and beauty and wealth supposedly exact. In a brilliant triptych Princess Diana leaves the Ritz one last time.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
