Softcover catalogue for the show held at Tibor de Nagy Gallery, NYC, March 15 - April 14, 2007.  Color cover and plates, essay by Nathan Kernan. 4to. Unpaginated. Covers near fine, staining to back along spine, else fine. Includes two card invitations to the reception, each with images of Brainard's work. 

From the collection of Frank Bidart, who received the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, the Griffin Poetry Prize Lifetime Recognition Award, and the 2017 National Book Award for Poetry for his book Half-light: Collected Poems 1965–2016. Perhaps Bidart's most celebrated poem, "The Second Hour of the Night," is partly based on his relationship with Brainard. "The relationship was," as Bidart has said, both "more than friendship and less than a romance." His "In Memory of Joe Brainard" is a profound elegy for his friend who died of AIDS-induced pneumonia in 1994.
