Description
Highlighting a dynamic new generation of black artists, Young, Gifted and Black surveys work drawn from the prestigious collection of Bernard I. Lumpkin and Carmine D. Boccuzzi, longtime champions of emerging artists of Africa descent. Edited by Antwaun Sargent, the book features over 100 artworks— including painting, photography, sculpture and performance— that explore collective memory, struggle, and self-representation. With texts by curators and artists offering diverse perspectives, Young, Gifted and Black speaks broadly to notions of community and identity that, while rooted in specific experience of blackness, capture how these artists are shaping the ways we think about representation, race, and the history of art.
