Designed as a companion to the hugely successful monograph Noah
Davis, this volume offers further insight into the impact and
legacy of the revolutionary Los Angeles artist and activist.
---------- “Embedding his dreams on canvas and in the community,
visionary American artist Noah Davis created a mighty legacy.”
— Rachel Willcock, ArtReview (2022) ---------- Looking to
literature, film, architecture, and art history, Noah Davis imbued
his ethereal paintings with emotion and imagination. Muted colors,
fantastic scenes, and blurred subjects create an intoxicating
vision. Attuned to the power of his medium, Davis layered his
paintings—figuratively and literally—using a unique dry paint
application to depict quotidian life at an enigmatic, almost
magical remove. Featuring sumptuous close-ups throughout, this
important new book brings into focus the rich, painterly variety
and luminous detail of Davis’s canvases. With a special focus on
the groundbreaking Underground Museum, which Noah Davis co-founded
with his wife, Karon Davis, Noah Davis: In Detail includes a
special conversation, moderated by Helen Molesworth, between Fred
Moten, Glenn Ligon, Thomas Lax, and Julie Mehretu. This renowned
group of artists and thinkers share personal experiences of the
powerful and emotional impact of The Underground Museum and its
connection to the larger artistic environs of Los Angeles. Franklin
Sirmans contributes a new essay and Lindsay Charlwood, a lifelong
friend of Noah’s, authors a chronology of his life,
contextualizing his artistic and social achievements.

This volume offers a compelling examination of the surprising
conceptual and visual correspondences between the works of these
two pivotal artists known for their innovative practices. Klein
(1928-1962) was a major figure in postwar art who opened up new
possibilities for material, conceptual and performative expression,
often touching on the metaphysical. Hammons (born 1943) is a
conceptual artist whose works in performance, installation,
sculpture, printmaking and other media confront contemporary
realities with an often hard-hitting wit. This publication aims not
to draw out any notion of influence or direct correlation between
these bodies of work, but rather to elucidate a resonance between
two artists who both engage transformative processes to invest the
humblest of everyday materials with deep aesthetic significance.
Working in the tradition of trompe l'oeil, Steve Wolfe (b. 1955)
creates careful replicas of classic books, worn album covers, and
vinyl records, crafted from modeling paste, screenprints, drawings,
and many other media. Wolfe's reproductions embrace the tattered
jackets, aged paper, and worn corners that come with the
consumption of the culture within. These marks become records of
time and memory representing the intersection of abstract thought
and physical substance. With painstakingly composed illusion, these
objects fall within the tradition of trompe l'oeil and blur the
line between everyday object and art. This book focuses on Wolfe's
works on paper, including drawings and pieces that combine drawing
with painting, collage, and printmaking. Although his work is
included in numerous museum collections and has appeared in several
group shows, this is the first major publication on this important
emerging artist. Distributed for the Whitney Museum of American Art
and The Menil Collection Exhibition Schedule: Whitney Museum of
American Art, New York (9/09 - 11/09) The Menil Collection, Houston

One of the leading artists of her generation, Lorna Simpson (born
1960) came to prominence in the mid-1980s through her photographic
and textual works that challenged conventional attitudes toward
race, gender and cultural memory with a potent mixture of formal
elegance and conceptual rigor. Published on the occasion of her
2013 exhibition at Aspen Art Museum, "Lorna Simpson: Works on
Paper" highlights four recent bodies of work on paper that explore
the complex relationship between the photographic archive and
processes of self-fashioning, including a new group of works being
developed during her time as the AAM's 2013 Jane and Marc Nathanson
Distinguished Artist in Residence. As in Simpson's earlier works,
these new drawings and collages take the African-American woman as
a point of departure, continuing her longstanding examination of
the ways that gender and culture shape the experience of life in
our contemporary multiracial society. This beautifully illustrated
catalogue features new scholarship by "New Yorker" staff writer
Hilton Als, MoMA Chief Curator of Drawings, Connie Butler, LACMA
Chief Curator of Contemporary Art, Franklin Sirmans, and the AAM's
Nancy and Bob Magoon CEO and Director, Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson.
