Publisher's Synopsis
The first widely available monograph on Amy Sherald, this major publication marked the acclaimed artist's first solo show in Europe, combining vivid reproductions of Sherald's iconic work with in-the-studio photographs and newly commissioned texts.
This major publication - the first widely-available monograph on Amy Sherald - accompanies the artist's exhibition at Hauser & Wirth London, marking Sherald's first solo show in Europe. Significant newly-commissioned texts include an art historical analysis by Jenni Sorkin, a mediation on the aesthetics and politics of Sherald's portraiture by Kevin Quashie, and a conversation between the artist and Ta-Nehisi Coates. Beautifully reproducing Sherald's recent paintings with an attention to their poignant details, this publication also illustrates a wide selection of earlier work alongside the essays and includes a series of in-the-studio photographs that provide an intimate glimpse into her process and practice.
