Love for Sale: Leanne Shapton Catalogs a Relationship That Was
Postcards. Paperbacks. Mix CDs. A heart-shaped ice cube mold. Dried and pressed four-leaf clovers. Two pairs of lightly worn snowshoes. Through photographs and terse descriptions of these items and hundreds like them Leanne Shapton tells the story of a relationship that is no more. Her delightful new book, published by Sarah Crichton/FSG, is designed as an auction catalog, organizing in brisk chronological order the Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry.
An illustrator, writer, publisher, and the art director of The New York Times op-ed page, Shapton allows the stuff accumulated and exchanged by the erstwhile couple to speak for itself, encouraging readers to imagine subplots.
