This book brings together materials which D’Arcangelo had assembled into a work binder before he died. The result is that the book sits a bit uneasily between a facsimile and an artist monograph, between the hands of the editors and the hands of the artist.

In these works, spanning the late 1970s to the early 2000s and presented at Kapp Kapp for his first solo New York exhibition in two decades, Gilbert Lewis distills intimate representations of queer life from the periphery—a network of friends and acquaintances who made up the art scene on South Street.
