"There is no artist who has done more to define Los Angeles art internationally in the 1990s than Charles Ray, and this exhibition will greatly expand the public understanding of his work to include not only the widely seen figurative works but also minimalist and abstract sculptures and his most recent work using the medium of film", stated Paul Schimmel, Chief Curator for The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Ray has earned a worldwide reputation for exploring the authenticity and meaning of representation in provocative, innovative works of sculpture, photography, film and performance. Through a career which began in the mid-1970s, Ray's artistic practices have variously referenced process art, conceptual art, minimalism and figuration, resulting in a unique body of work with multiple levels of perception, interpretation, and understanding. This is the first complete catalogue of the artist's work and will feature new photography of many of his works.

Ray Charles (1930-2004) led one of the most extraordinary lives of any popular musician. In Brother Ray, he tells his story in an inimitable and unsparing voice, from the chronicle of his musical development to his heroin addiction to his tangled romantic life. Overcoming poverty, blindness, the loss of his parents, and the pervasive racism of the era, Ray Charles was acclaimed worldwide as a genius by the age of thirty-two. By combining the influences of gospel, jazz, blues, and country music, he invented, almost single-handedly, what became known as soul. And throughout a career spanning more than a half century, Ray Charles remained in complete control of his life and his music, allowing nobody to tell him what he could and couldn't do.As the Chicago Sun-Times put it, Brother Ray is "candid, explicit, sometimes embarrassing, often hilarious, always warm, touching and deeply human-just like his music."
