"Slip of the Tongue." edited by The Irish Museum of Modern Art. Dublin, 2000.

This book was very relevant as it contained multiple photos of each work that it explored, as well as a brief overview of each piece at the back. The first few pages give an overview of Antonis’ artists practice and a very brief summary of her background. Some works it depicted further then others, for example there is much more writing on “Slumber” then on “Lick and Lather” (just over a few lines worth). A good starting point to Antonis’ practice and covers some of her most celebrated works.

A short, but helpful interview with Janine Antoni. It doesn’t focus on any works in particular, but focuses more on her practice in general. It was done in 2009 so there is a lot of artistic history that Antoni can look back on, and she does, constantly referencing her pieces whilst discussing her general practice. She also elaborates on how her educational background has influenced her practice, as well as the role of specific artists and their influences. This interview was helpful for general purposes but nothing specific.

Weintraub, Linda. Art on the Edge and Over. New York: Art Insights, Inc, 1996.

This book covered a great deal of contemporary artists, as well as some major themes within contemporary art, and is further illustrated through examples of  the artists. It is also organized into categorical chapters which explore different aspects of contemporary art, such as; ‘Some Mediums’ and ‘Some Purposes.’ There isn’t too much depth surrounding each artist, but enough to give one an overall understanding of their practice.
