Kehinde Wiley
Filled with reproductions of Kehinde Wiley’s bold, colorful, and monumental work, this book encompasses the artist’s various series of paintings as well as his sculptural work—which boldly explore ideas about race, power, and tradition. Celebrated for his classically styled paintings that depict African American men in heroic poses, Kehinde Wiley is among the expanding ranks of prominent black artists—such as Sanford Biggers, Yinka Shonibare, Mickalene Thomas, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye—who are reworking art history and questioning its depictions of people of color. Co-published with the Brooklyn Museum of Art for the major touring retrospective, this volume surveys Wiley’s career...
Xu Bing
Born in Chongqing, China, in 1955, Xu Bing is considered one of the most important artists of his generation. Between 1977 and 1987, he studied and taught at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing. He moved to the United States in 1990 and in 1999 received a MacArthur Fellowship, the celebrated "genius grant," in recognition of his "capacity to contribute importantly to society, particularly in printmaking and calligraphy." In 2008 Xu Bing was appointed vice president of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and he now lives mostly in Beijing. Many of Xu Bing's print and calligraphic works have appeared on an unlikely but surprisingly receptive medium--the tobacco leaf. A comprehensive overview of Xu Bing's tobacco projects, this volume includes reproductions of all the tobacco works, as well as several essays. Curator John Ravenal discusses the new Virginia work, its relation to the other tobacco pieces, and its place in the context of global contemporary art. Guest authors Wu Hung, Lydia Liu, and Edward Melillo address Xu Bing's work in the context of contemporary Chinese art and the history and culture of tobacco in Virginia. Distributed for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
Artificial Light
"Pour ces artistes, la lumière -naturelle et artificielle- est le moyen de poser les questions de la perception, la mémoire, l'énergie et le pouvoir. Influencés par les pionniers de la sculpture de lumière des années 60 et 70, comme Dan Flavin, James Turrell et Bruce Nauman, ces artistes d'une nouvelle génération ont étendu l'utilisation de la lumière comme forme sculpturale pour adresser un large éventail de préoccupations. Le titre de l'exposition se réfère au fait que la lumière électrique sert de matière principale, mais il se réfère aussi aux thèmes liés au concept d'artifice, comme la technologie, la nature, la beauté et le mystère.

We Gather Together
The mutual history of art, agriculture, and American identity as told through the theme of the harvest. The harvest has traditionally been a productive season, both on American farms and in its artists’ studios. Before the early nineteenth century, the ideal of the Jeffersonian yeoman, singly cultivating a subsistence plot for family use, dominated the American imagination; after World War II, the advent of big agribusiness proved less immediately attractive for artists. In We Gather Together, Charles C. Eldredge examines the period in between—when many Americans were farmers and much of America was farmland. Organized in a series of case studies each devoted to a single crop, We Gather ...
