John Varvatos’ Bowery Boutique hosted the launch of the band FACES’ limited edition book, FACES 1969-75, yesterday. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones were on hand to celebrate and sign copies of the book, which has text and photographs that describe the band’s rise, fall, and the rock-n-roll shenanigans they got into in between.

A volume containing world-renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s work has been released to accompany the first major retrospective exhibition of her work in the U.S. in fifteen years. The book features many of Kusama’s pieces throughout her long, illustrious career including her pioneering work in installation art. While the exhibition is currently at the Tate Modern, it will open at the Whitney Museum on July 12.
