From renowned American artist Ross Bleckner comes this stunning and thought-provoking collection of more than one hundred collages assembled from clippings of <em>New York Times</em> articles. Chosen for their personal significance to Bleckner and for the ways in which they later affected his work, the fragments of text and image in some pieces are unadorned; in others, the artist has painted around the clippings in watercolor and then photographed them in order to create a timeless and meaningful work of art. In <em>My Life in the New York Times</em> these pieces—each of them accompanied by the artist's commentary—are brought together in a magnificent hardcover book for the first time.
