Ana Mendieta was working on a number of important projects at the time of her death at the age of 36 in 1985. Among these was an edition of photo etchings of her Rupestrian Sculptures. Ana Mendieta: A Book of Works reproduces, in facsimile, photo etchings of Ana Mendieta's Rupestrian Sculptures, a series of female figures she carved into the walls of two caves in the rugged cliffs of the Escaleras de Jaruco, Jaruco State Park, near Havana, Cuba, during the summer of 1981. The book was published posthumously by Bonnie and James Clearwater of Grassfield Press, who found Mendieta's notes for the intended book and reproduced the photo etchings in facsimile along with archival documents that reveal Mendieta's creative process.
