So good we had to #Repost @soberscove The back cover of Rip Tales: Jay DeFeo’s Estocada and Other Pieces features an image that DeFeo took in her studio which includes fragments of Estocada (details below). In the book, author Jordan Stein tracks the history of this little known piece alongside stories of other Bay Area artists and artworks. Rip Tales will officially be out Tuesday, Dec 7 and we’re happy to share a list of upcoming events to celebrate its release! 🎊 Thanks in advance to our incredible hosts and interlocutors!
