Alice Coltrane was an American jazz musician, composer, keyboardist and harpist, widow of the jazz saxophonist John Coltrane, who explored the universal and spiritual in jazz. Coltrane’s music and artistry intersected strongly with her Hindu spiritual identity.

This major museum exhibition catalog presents works from contemporary artists inspired by Coltrane's creative legacy, paired with ephemera from Coltrane’s personal archive.
Monument Eternal takes its name from Coltrane's book that explored her newfound spiritual beliefs, the loss of her husband, and the path to healing and self-discovery.
