A 40-year overview of Blum’s career working at the interface of art, architecture and design, leading up to her focus on our engagement with the natural world.

Featuring texts by Jenny Jaskey, Michael Lobel, Sarah Oppenheimer, Pam Lins, Catherine Grout, and a conversation between Blum and Allan Schwartzman.

We are excited to announce the arrival of the highly anticipated book BIOTA: A discourse between Art and Architecture from the 1970s to the present, co-published by Gregory R. Miller & Co. and Hunter College Art Galleries. BIOTA celebrates the work of artist and Hunter professor emerita Andrea Blum and accompanies her recent exhibition at 205 Hudson Gallery this past Fall. Please join us for a special evening hosted at Artists Space, located at 11 Cortlandt Alley, New York, NY. Books will be available for purchase at the event.

In the meantime, you may pre-order the book in our bookshop HERE. Online purchases will ship in late April.
