"This artist's book focuses on a woman who served as an artists' model for over a dozen statues that decorate buildings and monuments throughout New York City. A famed woman during the first half of the twentieth century, Audrey Munson was largely forgotten after being interned for decades at a state mental institution, where she silently passed away in 1996. Published by Art in General in April 2007 in a limited edition of 500 copies, "Queen of the Artists' Studios..." includes an essay and photography by Andrea Geyser, as well as contributions from Cynthia Chris, Andrea Ray, William Smith, and Justin D. White." - publisher's description
