"The Power of an Idea. A moment in time with Alfredo Jaar and Luis PŽrez-Oramas" offers a privileged window into the minds, shared explorations, and personal interactions of prolific Chilean conceptual artist Alfredo Jaar and his longtime friend, Venezuelan curator and poet Luis PŽrez-Oramas. Weaving their vast references of visual culture and the contemporary world into a substantial and nuanced critique, the authors contribute to the Colecci—n Patricia Phelps de CisnerosÕ ongoing project of publishing firsthand accounts of art and ideas from Latin America in this series of exchanges. The Power of an Idea uncovers the themes and challenges of JaarÕs lifelong artistic practice and a complex body of work that goes straight to the source: Òultimately, [É] condensing everything to that one question that affects us allÓ.

An art book with a storytelling narrative and the freshness of a long-form journalism piece, the contents of The Power of an Idea can be experienced as a continuing dialogue within the span of a decade, or randomly explored as four separate conversation essays over time. The volume includes stunning photographs and unpublished images from Alfredo JaarÕs archives, in a layout design inspired by the visual proposal of his oeuvre.

luxurious!
Size: Queen (90-Inch-by-90-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
I am absolutely in love with this plush blanket! The fabric is unbelievably soft and cozy—like being wrapped in a cloud. It’s the perfect weight: not too heavy, but warm enough to keep me comfortable on chilly nights. The quality really impressed me; even after a few washes, it hasn’t shed or lost that silky softness. I’ve been using it on our couch, and it instantly makes the space feel more inviting. The color is rich and beautiful, exactly as pictured, and it adds a nice touch of style to my living room. If you’re looking for a blanket that feels luxurious but also practical for everyday use, this one is it. I’ve already ordered a second one for my bedroom because I don’t want to share!

LOVE
Size: Queen (90-Inch-by-90-Inch), Color: Checkered Green
We love this blanket! By we I mean us and the dogs. It’s sooooo soft, a good size, warm, and has held up surprisingly well for what we have put it through. It has gone camping, to the mountains, and been dragged all around the house by dogs. No rips or tears! Great color, design and quality!
