From abolitionist medallions to statues of bondspeople bearing
broken chains, sculpture gave visual and material form to
narratives about the end of slavery in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. Sculpture at the Ends of Slavery sheds light
on the complex-and at times contradictory-place of such works as
they moved through a world contoured both by the devastating
economy of enslavement and by international abolitionist campaigns.
By examining matters of making, circulation, display, and
reception, Caitlin Meehye Beach argues that sculpture stood as a
highly visible but deeply unstable site from which to interrogate
the politics of slavery. With focus on works by Josiah Wedgwood,
Hiram Powers, Edmonia Lewis, John Bell, and Francesco Pezzicar,
Beach uncovers both the radical possibilities and the conflicting
limitations of art in the pursuit of justice in racial capitalism's
wake.
