The Empty Restaurants of New York
When a restaurant is empty, is it still an eating establishment? Wijnanda Deroo’s portraits of vacant restaurants, taken in four of New York City’s five boroughs, reflect just as much on human habits—although people are conspicuously absent from her photographs—as on the spaces themselves.

Paintings of Home
These surreal yet cozy images in Bo Bartlett’s work depict a world the painter knows best—himself, his childhood home, and family. But beyond painting what he knows, Bartlett paints what he feels, a spiritual connection between his past, present, and future lives.

Caught in a Secret History
Photographer Michele Abeles’s haunting and incisive portraits and still lifes refuse to provide us with narratives. Instead, they make us wonder why we desired such neat and tidy stories in the first place.

Family
We’ll just come out and say it: A lot of photography and art books pass across our desk each year, and Chris Verene’s Family (Twin Palms) is the finest we’ve seen in 2010.
