An early monograph dedicated to American contemporary artist Ellen Gallagher, whose multidisciplinary practice explores race, identity, language, and the visual history of popular culture.
Bringing together paintings and drawings, the publication examines Gallagher's distinctive use of repetition, abstraction, and layered imagery. Drawing from vintage advertisements, African American cultural history, and the visual language of modernism, her work transforms familiar symbols into complex reflections on representation and identity.
Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the book features essays by Robert Storr and Greg Tate, alongside an interview with the artist.
An important early document of one of contemporary art's most compelling voices.
