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.

From Bauhaus jewellery and West African textiles to contemporary
portraiture and sculpture, this unique volume explores the rituals
of making that underpin an artist's work. Accompanying an
exhibition curated by the groundbreaking Nigerian-born British
fashion designer Duro Olowu at Camden Art Centre, London, this book
offers the opportunity to re-evaluate art and textiles from the
nineteenth-century to the present. Olowu selects material by more
than 60 artists from around the world, including rarely seen works
by Anni Albers, Wangechi Mutu, Alice Neel, Chris Ofili and Irving
Penn, and newer paintings by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. By setting up
unexpected dialogues between historic and contemporary artists
working in a myriad of media - textile, painting, sculpture,
photography and collage - Olowu reveals a shared preoccupation with
themes of gender, race, beauty, sexuality and the body. The volume
includes an in-depth conversation between Olowu and artist Glenn
Ligon, along with texts by Jennifer Higgie and Shanay Jhaveri, that
together highlight the intricate layers of history and place that
influence the making of art.

Glenn Ligon (b1960) is one of the most significant American artists
of his generation. Much of his work relates to abstract
expressionism and minimalist painting, remixing formal
characteristics to highlight the cultural and social histories of
the time, such as the civil rights movement. The exhibition brings
together artworks and other material he references in his own work
and writings, or work with which he shares certain affinities. This
publication is both a comprehensive exhibition catalogue, which
fully illustrating all works in the exhibition from artists
including Chris Ofili, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Lorna
Simpson, Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Jasper Johns, accompanied by
newly commissioned texts by Glenn Ligon, Francesco Manacorda, Alex
Farquharson, and Gregg Bordowitz; and an anthology of around 20
texts selected/excerpted by Glenn Ligon.
In this artist book, celebrated American Conceptual artist Glenn
Ligon traces the representation of Black people on book covers in
the United States, highlighting the deliberate use of typography,
photography and graphics. Best known for appropriating imagery and
text from popular culture, Ligon has selected over 50 book covers -
by both lesser-known and seminal authors, such as James Baldwin,
Norman Mailer and Toni Morrison - to explore a rich and complex set
of histories and representations. To introduce the book, an essay
by Ligon identifies one of the foundation stones of his life and
work: the act of reading. Spanning the twentieth century and
grouped thematically, the covers reveal correspondences between the
past and the present, as well as links between the social and
visual constructs of race, beauty and the body. Published to
coincide with the exhibition Glenn Ligon: Encounters and
Collisions, both co-curated and featuring works by the artist, held
at Nottingham Contemporary (4 April-14 June 2015) and Tate
Liverpool (30 June-18 October 2015).
