Variations: A More Diverse Picture of Contemporary Art, released in 2023, features a chapter on Anthony Mannix. The book “represents an effort to recalibrate the centre-margin dichotomy by valuing the complex ecology of practices, with multiple centres or art-world nuclei that together form a picture of contemporary art practices in these lands.” We are very pleased that Anthony has been included in this ecology.
