Despite her consistent contributions to the New York art scene, there have been limited publications dedicated to the artist. \u003ci\u003eCircle, Point, Hoop\u003c\/i\u003e rectifies this oversight, offering the first-ever bilingual (English\/Spanish) survey of Alvarez's practice. The volume features high-resolution reproductions from every stage of the artist's career--from her early figurative paintings that reflect upon her hybrid identity to her conceptual works of the '90s that incorporate language games to her contemporary works that fuse both formal and thematic approaches. Brimming with newly commissioned essays, the volume is supplemented by archival materials, such as photographs and posters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Candida Alvarez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1882454316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781882454310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Museo del Barrio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Candida Alvarez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49172435009791,"sku":"9781882454310","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/candida-alvarez-candida-alvarez-9781882454310","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
