For sale collaborative literary works between the museum and artists. MOAH Publications SPACE A Collection of Essays and Images Curated by Shana Mabari and Andi Campognone An intimate meditation on an almost infinite subject, Space aims to explode an ordinary everyday word into a dazzling prism via an exploration of some of the many interpretations of the term. Artist Shana Mabari asked more than a dozen individuals from dramatically different walks of life—from an astronaut and a filmmaker to an art critic and a musician—what they think about when they think about space. Their answers, which alternate with exceptional work from contemporary Southern California artists selected by curator Andi Campognone, invigorate and inspire, and in turn become fodder for reflection upon our relationship to ourselves, to others, and to the universe at large. BUY NOW Melanie Pullen With essay by Shana Nys Dambrot Photographer Melanie Pullen collects old police blotters and forensic crime scene photos, organized in starkly poetic black and white archives whose narratives she often mines for inspiration in her own more colorful tableaux. “At one point I started to notice,” she says, “that, whether they were suicides or electric chair executions, women would dress up in their finest clothes in preparation for death.” Slips and new shoes, hats and jewels, suits or twin sets, lipstick and plucked eyebrows. Bruises, blood pools, snapped necks, burned fingers, broken legs. This book is available at MOAH, for more information and for purchasing please call (661) 723-6250. Laura Hipke and Shane Guffogg Circle of Truth Exhibition catalog for the Circle of Truth traveling art exhibition. Curated by Laura Hipke & Shane Guffogg Foreword by: Randy Hipke Preface by: Paul Ruscha The Circle of Truth project is a visual game of Telephone, sometimes called a Rumor Game. 49 artists, including Ed Ruscha, Shane Guffogg, Billy Al Bengston, Lita Albuquerque, Jim Morphesis, Charles Arnoldi, Robert Williams, and Ruth Weisberg, created works especially for the Circle of Truth exhibition, in absolute secrecy over a period of nine years. The catalog dedicates a full spread to each of the 49 artists with color images of the art they received and responded to, the art they created, as well as an essay they wrote about their experience. The catalog provides a rare look at the thought processes and studio practices of these unique and private people. This book is available at MOAH, for more information and for purchasing please call (661) 723-6250. David Allan Peters Catalog A catalogue of artwork by David Allan Peters Curated by Andi Campognone Essay by Shana Nys Dambrot A lot is happening in the Effusive Paintings of Favid Allan Peters -- and a lot more than that has happened in them already. In many of these chromatically activated compositions, it's been happening for years. Applying paint to wood panels using every tool but a brush, Peters buils up an incomprehensible number of skin-think layers of bright acrylic pigment in a geological accumulation akin to sedimentary drifts, stalagmite deposits, or the rings of a growing tree. BUY NOW Sant Khalsa Prana: Life with Trees The subject of trees has been a focus in Sant Khalsa’s creative work for nearly five decades. Prana: Life with Trees is the first in depth survey of Khalsa’s intimate connection with trees – her explorations, observations, perceptions and interpretations. Her unique perspective is expressed through a style that encompasses the documentary, subjective and conceptual. Her work evokes a meditative calm to what we often experience as a chaotic and conflicted world. BUY NOW Coleen Sterritt It showcases her work over a forty year period and includes an interview with artist Rochelle Botello and essays by Cooper Johnson, Carole Ann Klonarides, and Sue Spaid. Sterritt’s hybrid sculpture evokes the interplay between nature, culture, and lived experience. Her source materials are pulled from everyday objects and elements. Plaster, tar, pinecones, fishing line, found furniture, and studio refuse are just some of the components she uses to construct and express her richly evocative formal language. Questioning the diverse possibilities of sculpture in both scale and form, her eccentric, abstract structures present strong polarities possessing a resonance at once familiar and obscure. BUY NOW Dave Pressler Idea to Object Covering Emmy Nominated Artist Dave Pressler's four distinct areas of expression--drawing, painting, sculpture, animation--Idea to Object is the companion book to the comprehensive exhibition at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History. With a forward by Artist Anthony Ausgang and essay by Shana Nys Dambrot. Hardcover This book is only available at MOAH, for more information and for purchasing please call (661) 723-6250. Greg Rose 77 Trees Greg Rose has been documenting individual trees and the changes they undergo for the past eight years. It began while taking regular hiking trips through the San Gabriel Mountains. He started noticing the trees of this region were made rugged from enduring extreme weather conditions. Over time, he began regarding the trees by their individual characteristics and started to document them. First he maps, illustrates and photographs the trees, then he paints them. Softcover This book is only available at MOAH, for more information and for purchasing please call (661) 723-6250. Memory and Identity: The Marvelous Art of Betye, Lezley, and Alison Saar Betye, Lezley and Alison Saar have created some of the most powerful, important and deeply moving art in our contemporary world. Their compelling works forge idiosyncratic constructions of social memory and personal identity, as well as the cultural histories underlying them. All three Saars assemble two- and three-dimensional works based on unexpected juxtapositions of form and content. They deploy the flotsam of material culture, from discarded architectural components (old windows, ceiling tiles, wall paper) to domestic detritus (washboards, buckets, shelves) to historic photographs and printed fabrics. With essays by Betty Ann Brown and Sola Saar. Hardcover. BUY NOW Dark Progressivism: The Built Environment The roots of Dark Progressivism run deep in Southern California, grown from seeds planted over a century ago. Here the sunlight hides shadowy dreams, and the hot Santa Ana winds blow away all pretense. Nourished by cement and asphalt, nurtured by flashes of streetlights and spotlights, Dark Progressivism: The Built Environment reveals a bold and modern transmutation through our region's influence on its artists, and the other artists' impact on the world. With essays by Rodrigo Ribera d'Ebre and Lisa Derek. Softcover This book is only available at MOAH, for more information and for purchasing please call (661) 723-6250. Estate Italiana Catalog For Estate Italiana (Italian Summer), guest curator Cynthia Penna showcases six contemporary Italian artists as part of a cultural exchange between the Museum of Art and History in Lancaster, California, and Naples, Italy-based ART1307. Southern California has always had an enduring love for all things Italian. From food and wine, to architecture and automobiles, furniture, product and clothing design, and the expert skill and fine materials of timelessly cosmopolitan, jauntily chic Italian style. Italy, for its part, is equally fascinated by California. The passion for Old Hollywood, new surf culture and futuristic materials, such as plastics and resins that originated here, have influenced Italian visual culture in myriad aspects of modern living. All of these cultural signifiers are represented in one way or another by the six Italian artists featured in Estate Italiana--Max Coppeta, Nicola Evangelisti, Carlo Marcucci, Antonella Masetti Lucarella, Alex Pinna, and Carla Viparelli. Softcover This book is only available at MOAH, for more information and for purchasing please call (661) 723-6250. Samantha Fields Ten years This book, a collaboration between Griffith Moon and Lancaster Museum of Art and History, will showcases Fields’ painting work, along with an essay by Eve Wood. In her work, Fields explores the experiential nature of light through painting – immersing the viewer in the ever-shifting mood of a specific time and place. Her subject matter includes landscapes consumed by disaster both natural and manmade. Her work has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, ArtWeek, Art in America, Artillery, Art ltd., The Detroit News, The Detroit Free Press and the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Hardcover BUY NOW Charles Hollis Jones Mr. Lucite Throughout the art world, Charles Hollis Jones is known as the “King of Lucite”, and for good reason—he has continued to redefine the use of acrylic in furniture for over fifty years.

Back to Exhibitions Eva Aguila The Foundation of the Harvest / El Cimiento de la Cosecha May 16 - August 30, 2026 • Current Exhibition Ralph and Virginia Bozigian Family Gallery Eva Aguila: The Foundation of the Harvest / El Cimiento de la Cosecha explores the continued impact of the United States’ dependence on Mexican migrant labor, using an intimate installation inclusive of domestic objects, vintage family photographs, archival materials, and video testimony to trace a direct line from the mid-20th century Bracero Program to today's H-2A visa system. The exhibition honors the resilience of Aguila’s family, who transformed harsh working conditions into generational wealth, and the activism of organizers like Aguila’s uncle Jorge Campos Aguiñiga who fought for laborers' rights. Eva Aguila Eva Aguila (b. 1983, Los Angeles, California) is a Mexican American interdisciplinary artist working in video, sound, and installation. Born in Los Angeles as a first-generation American, Aguila centers her practice on oral histories of the Mexican diaspora, particularly drawing from her ancestral communities in rural Michoacán. Her research-driven work engages with personal archives and the materiality of memory, examining the complexities of the Latiné experience. Aguila holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the California Institute of the Arts and a Master of Fine Arts from the Roski School of Art and Design at the University of Southern California. Recent exhibitions and performances include the Vincent Price Art Museum (2025), SUR:biennial (2023), and CURRENT:LA FOOD (2019), with additional presentations in Mexico, Europe, Asia, and Australia. 2026 Summer Exhibition Season Lancaster Museum of Art and History This project was supported, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.

Back to Exhibitions Luciana Abait September 27 - January 4, 2026 • Past Main Gallery Elevations and Extensions explores the impact of climate change, especially as it pertains to marginalized communities and patterns of global immigration. Luciana Abait’s large-scale photo collages capture vulnerable natural phenomena, preserving their fleeting beauty. Abait employs the use of vibrant, unnatural color pallets, alluding to the toxicity and pollution impacting our planet. Abait’s Road Trip Series consist of digitally altered photographs that she captured while driving through the American West. By showcasing the landscape’s vivid beauty, she aims to inspire hope and care when it comes to protecting and preserving the environment. Luciana’s Iceberg Series was inspired by her own feelings of instability. Collaged from found images of icebergs and Luciana’s photography, she creates imaginary landscapes that blend personal experiences with collective geographic history. Unlike Abait’s other photographic works, the images in the On the Verge series have not been edited or manipulated by the artist. On the Verge includes photographs taken at locations around the border of Arizona and Utah, including Lake Powell, a rapidly shrinking reservoir, and Glen Canyon Dam, a key site in the distribution of Colorado River water to millions of people across the West. Abait’s large-scale installations invite viewers to reflect on their place in the environment as well as their role in its transformation. Maps That Failed Us, an installation comprised of world maps constructed to resemble a towering mountainside, interrogates the arbitrary state of human imposed borders. The installation gestures towards the vastness and interconnectedness of the world we inhabit. Agua was created as a meditative space where viewers can reflect on the importance of water, one of our most precious natural resources. Abait is invested in water as a reoccurring symbol of rebirth across multiple cultures and religions. Through her immersive installations, Abait fosters moments of contemplation and connection, urging viewers to consider their relationship to nature and each other.
