A New Book Examines Peter Shire’s Legacy

Edited and designed by Peter Shire and Lisa Tchakmakian
Hat & Beard Press

Peter Shire: Towers with Ranch Dressing evaluates the ways in which towers have influenced the artist’s work as signifiers of “nostalgia, joy, memory, and anxiety.” Utilizing film stills, archival photography, collages, and sketches, the book provides a rich snapshot not only of Shire’s career but of California culture. The book will be published in a special edition of 1,000.
