Joan Jonas: I Know Why They Left

This publication, printed in conjunction with the 2019 exhibition at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, is an artist’s book featuring full-colour reproductions of a new series of drawings by this seminal artist. As an Artist-in-Residence in 2017, Jonas was drawn to the vast array of mythical and archetypal animals present in the Gardner’s collection. In this book, Jonas’s ability to conjure wonder, fear, and humour through poetic imagery continues to work its magic. It includes a conversation between Joan Jonas and Pieranna Cavalchini,
