I’d also recommend artist Mark Lombardi’s book Global Networks. His intricate drawings mapped banking ties (Iran-Contra, Bush family, pre-9/11 finance in the Mid East). Lombardi was found hung in his studio—weeks before his first major museum show, a few months shy of 9/11.

By strange serendipity, I was in NY a month after Mark Lombardi’s death to see his work in the Greater New York show at PS1. Transfixed by his drawing, I later learned his story and saw more of his work, including at Gagosian LA while I worked there.
