Monografien Melted Snow, utgitt på det sveitsiske forlaget Lenz Press, introduserer Ida Ekblads omfattende verk, og dokumenterer karrieren fra 2007 til 2021, med fokus på kunsten hennes og hvordan hun kontinuerlig utfordrer den gjennom sine egne utstillinger. Den er på 500 sider, med 398 illustrasjoner, tre essays og en samtale med kunstneren. Bidrag av Daniel Baumann, Stian Grøgaard, Martha Kirszenbaum og Agnes Moraux.

Forlagets omtale:

Ida Ekblad is a painter, sculptor, publisher, music producer, curator, and designer. She also writes. Her sources of inspiration include folk art, fashion, garbage, Samuel Beckett, youth culture, the natural forces of the elements, Gena Rowlands, traditional crafts, and so on. Everyday life is central to her work—as an imposition, but also conveying grace; as a voracious monster and a source of happiness; as a disaster and a glimmer of hope—for in Ekblad’s view, everything is full of promise, including art. Melted Snow, published three years after Ekblad’s exhibition FRA ÅRE TIL OVN at Kunsthalle Zürich, is a lavish and riveting collection of works and exhibitions from 2007–2021, accompanied by newly commissioned texts and a conversation between the artist and Agnes Moraux. “Mess can be confusing to deal with,” Ekblad concedes, “but mess is never out of focus.”
