‘contextures’ book Linda Goode Bryant, Marcy S. Philips

Publisher : Pacific et Primary Information

This new edition of 'Contextures', originally published in 1978 as an exhibition catalog by the legendary New York gallery Just Above Midtown (JAM), is now reproduced as a full-color facsimile edition. Edited by gallery founder Linda Goode Bryant and Marcy S. Philips, the groundbreaking publication provides an extensive history of Black artists working in abstraction from 1945 to 1978, while also articulating a newly-emerging movement of Black Conceptual Art in the 1970s.

The publication realizes a vital mission of placing Black artists within the still-prevalent, white-dominated canon of post-war abstract art and contains extensive writing by Goode Bryant and Philips as well as the work of 25 artists: Banerjee, Frank Bowling, Donna Byars, Ed Clark, Houston Conwill, John Dowell, Mel Edwards, Wendy Ward Ehlers, Fred Eversley, Susan Fitzsimmons, Sam Gilliam, Gini Hamilton, David Hammons, Manuel Hughes, Suzanne Jackson, Noah Jemison, James Little, Al Loving, Senga Nengudi, Howardena Pindell, Betye Saar, Raymond Saunders, Sharon Sutton, Randy Williams, and William T. Williams. A newly commissioned afterword by Thomas (T.) Jean Lax, curator of the exhibition 'Just Above Midtown: Changing Spaces' at the Museum of Modern Art, is also included.
