"This book—The Hiker's Guide to Aspen—was conceived in conjunction with Nairy Baghramian's solo exhibition Jupon de Corps, held at the Aspen Art Museum during the summer of 2023. The exhibition synthesized years of dialogue and collaboration with Baghramian, whose unique vision and profound artistic practice continue to challenge and inspire us. Jupon de Corps was a testament to her perceptive approach and incessant dedication to the medium of sculpture, for which she received the Aspen Award for Art in 2023."
— Nicola Lees, Director of the Aspen Art Museum
This publication, conceived by Baghramian and edited by the artist with Michel Ziegler and Stella Bottai, features a new essay by art historian and critic Mark Godfrey, an exhibition overview by curator Stella Bottai, and a conversation between Baghramian, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Nicola Lees.
