The most comprehensive publication to date on widely celebrated artist Rashid Johnson. Working with a variety of media that includes painting, sculpture, photography, video and performance, Rashid Johnson has created a nuanced and iconographic body of work that connects literature, music and art. Personal references and pervasive cultural narratives are interweaved with the legacy of modernist abstraction, producing what critics have labelled ‘conceptual post-black art'. A precocious talent (his work was included in the seminal ‘Freestyle' exhibition in New York in 2001), Johnson received the High Museum of Art's David C. Driskell Prize, which honours contributions in the field of African-American art. 9 3/4" x 11 1/2" x 1/2" By Claudia Rankine, Sampada Aranke and Akili Tommasino Artwork by Rashid Johnson Paperback 160 pages Phaidon Press
