Professor Mona Hadler is also on the faculty at Brooklyn College. Her current book is a co-edited anthology entitled, Pop Art and Beyond: Gender, Race, and Class in the Global Sixties which will be published spring of 2022.. She has written on the art of Lee Bontecou in many venues, including an essay for the traveling Bontecou retrospective shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2003. She has also published on New York art and visual culture of the fifties including essays on Abstract Expressionists William Baziotes and David Hare, and articles on the relation of jazz and the visual arts, the postwar artistic response to nuclear explosions, and most recently on the Pontiac hood ornaments and demolition derbies of that era.
The latter inspired her 2017 book, Rites of Destruction: Ephemerality and Demolition in Postwar Visual Culture.
