An artist’s book by visual artist and legendary indie rocker Kim Gordon, this volume is an intoxicating look into Gordon’s dreamy visual world. Watercolors, paintings, photographs, and written word combine to create a portrait of an artist’s work inspired by popular culture. The first 3,000 copies include a beautifully printed, limited-edition signed print by Gordon. This luxurious yet affordable package combines layers of media to create an extension of the artist’s portfolio, with written contributions by artist Jutta Koether and writer Hilton Als. Kim Gordon: Performing/Guzzling is the first in a series of books by Rizzoli and Nieves that consists of beautifully designed books by artists, photographers, and designers who have substantially contributed to the texture of artistic culture. Each project will be an extension of the artist’s portfolio.

In addition to being a founding member of Sonic Youth, one of the leading progressive-rock groups of our time, Kim Gordon is also an established visual artist and curator. Her work has been exhibited across the U.S., Japan, and Europe. Nieves, a zine and artist publisher in Zurich, is considered an artist project in its own right. It enjoys indie-underground and progressive mainstream success alike, featuring artist’s books and zines by Aaron Rose, Ari Marcopoulos, David Shrigley, and Rita Ackermann. Jutta Koether is an artist, musician, and critic. Born in Germany, she has been based in New York since the early 1990s. Hilton Als is a staff writer for The New Yorker Magazine.
