Book of the Day: Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art
Long-spoken of and profoundly admired by those in-the-know, the Los Angeles–based artist Teddy Sandoval (1949–95) now finally has his first (albeit posthumous; ain't that just the way it goes sometimes) monograph. A radically queer and Chicanx powerhouse who worked as variously as possible in many media, Sandoval brought joy, smarts, anger, and sexiness to the thick breadth of his work. This timely tome, Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art, is obviously our book of the day.
