The complete works of our Distinguished Alumnus, Brett Amory, who was honored at the Spring 2014 BFA ceremony, have been published in a coffee table book by Vivant Books. And it looks absolutely stunning, if we do say so ourselves!
Amory graduated from the Academy of Art University in 2005 with a BFA in Fine Art. He rose to international acclaim with his Waiting series over a decade ago and continues to make a lasting impression in the art world.
Along with the full-color reproductions of Amory’s work, the book includes essays by scholars, art critics, artists, collectors and gallerists. Available in April, this book will most certainly be a splendid account of the artist’s development and legacy.
You can order both the deluxe edition (with original artwork) and limited edition now here!
