Otero has increasingly embraced the personal in his work, integrating photographs, family memorabilia and memories from his Puerto Rican upbringing.\u003cbr\u003eThis book explores recent developments in the artist's work, featuring new works produced for his 2026 Hauser \u0026amp; Wirth Somerset show. Alongside insightful essays by curators Tobias Ostrander and John Tain, a conversation between Otero and curator Julie Rodrigues Widholm explores the artist's practice in his own words, while studio photography documents his labor-intensive process of layering, peeling and collaging oil paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hauser \u0026amp; Wirth Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783907493366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 9.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Angel Otero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53458931220661,"sku":"9783907493366","price":42.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9783907493366.jpg?v=1791297547","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/angel-otero-9783907493366","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
