Blues and the Abstract Truth
The title of this book derives from a jazz piece by Oliver Nelson, and the photographs and the rooms pictured are all bathed in an unreal blue. Being surrounded by this blue light, the viewer is taken into artist Hammons's space with subtle intensity. Using the Kunsthalle in Bern to envelop the visitor in shades of blueness, Hammons created a sensual and nocturnal realm. African-American artist Hammons is perhaps best known for his provocative portrait of politician Jesse Jackson transformed into a blonde blue-eyed white man and entitled "How Ya Like Me Now?" He has been the subject of numerous one-man exhibitions including venues such as The New Museum of Contemporary Art, Exit Art, P.S.1 Museum, and Museum of Modern Art San Francisco. In 1993 the Illinois State Museum published In the Hood. Hammons continues to live and work in Harlem.

And alt...
David Hammons: Body Prints, 1968-1979
On Hammons' seminal series that ingeniously merged print and performance, celebration and critique The first book dedicated to these pivotal early works on paper, David Hammons: Body Prints, 1968-1979 brings together the monoprints and collages in which the artist used the body as both a drawing tool and printing plate to explore performative, unconventional forms of image making. Hammons created the body prints by greasing his own body--or that of another person--with substances including margarine and baby oil, pressing or rolling body parts against paper, and sprinkling the surface with charcoal and powdered pigment. The resulting impressions are intimately direct indexes of faces, skin, ...

Hammons' body prints, flags and found-object sculptures come together in this artist's book documenting his thought-provoking conceptual exhibition This post-exhibition catalog revisits David Hammons' 2019 show at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles. A singular book created entirely under the artist's direction, this publication illustrates the most expansive exhibition of this legendary artist's work to date. Said critic Jonathan Griffin of the original exhibition, "Alongside finished artworks, including framed examples of Hammons's sublime drawings made with bounced basketballs and powdered Kool-Aid, there are plenty of apparently ad hoc, readymade interventions, installations in which it is unclea...
