A book titled "The Many Pleasures: Found Art in New York City" by Barton Lewis, standing on a blue wooden table with a background of a fireplace mantel. The book cover features an abstract, textured art piece with splashes of color.

I’m pleased to announce the publication of a monograph of my work, The Many Pleasures: Found Art in New York City, by Daylight Books.

The book contains 77 color plates, including 3 gatefold images (one five feet long), and an essay by noted New York City public historian, Kathleen Hulser.

The book may be purchased on this website, in the Shop section, at Barnes & Noble, and through Amazon.
