Rooms: The Works and Life of JJ Manford is a unique and intimate exploration into the life and works of the rising star of the New York art scene, JJ Manford. This 200-page, limited edition art book, published by the renowned Riga-based publisher, Aminori, offers an unprecedented look into Manford’s “psychedelic realism” style that has captivated the art world.
Designed by the noted Latvian designer, Anna Aizsilniece, Rooms is more than just a biography. It’s a journey through the creative process of an artist whose work has been featured in The New Yorker, Art Net, and hangs in various museums including ICA Miami and Everson Museum of Art of Syracuse.
This book is a testament to a friendship spanning over two decades, a collaboration that has produced a serialized novel, a sprawling 70 image retrospective of photography, and a joint exhibit at the Gershwin Hotel. Now, this partnership brings you Rooms, a book that showcases Manford’s artistic achievement.
Rooms is not your run-of-the-mill coffee table art book. It’s a two-part narrative that intertwines the history of a friendship with a 21,000-word portrait of the artist himself, from his roots in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, through his Cornell years and beyond. This book is a tribute to an extraordinarily accomplished and gifted artist, and a must-have for any art enthusiast. Get your copy of Rooms: The Works and Life of JJ Manford today!
