Wangechi Mutu
Black women: ideas of beauty, ideas of strength, unapologetic. A thumb pushes on teeth. Jewelled eyes, misplaced lips, and masks of black glitter expose the complexity and falsity of the modern representational world. Born in Nairobi, living in New York, Wangechi Mutu is known for her painting, sculpture, film, and performance work in which she does anything but shy away from critiquing the modern gaze. Rather, she focuses squarely on calling a spade a spade: the Orientalist way the West looks at the African-American woman, the exaltation of consumerism, and the role of technology (and its intersection with humanity) in the modern age.

Wangechi Mutu
This full-color catalog accompanies the first major solo museum exhibition of the artist Wangechi Mutu's work, on view at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University from March 21, 2013 until July 21, 2013, before traveling to the Brooklyn Museum.
Wangechi Mutu
Published on the occasion of her solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, this catalogue of work by Wangechi Mutu covers one of the most acclaimed contemporary African artists. Although working in a variety of mediums, such as video, installation and sculpture, she is best known for her collages depicting hybrid creatures of machine, animal and human forms. Often female in aspect, these are constructed from magazine cut-outs, paint and found materials. Besides picturing a wide array of works, the book includes essays by Rachel Kent, Adrienne Edwards and Mbugua wa Kimani, plus an engaging conversation with Mutu by Dan Cameron.

Among Others
Among Others: Blackness at MoMA begins with an essay that provides a rigorous and in-depth analysis of MoMA's history regarding racial issues. It also calls for further developments, leaving space for other scholars to draw on particular moments of that history. It takes an integrated approach to the study of racial blackness and its representation: the book stresses inclusion and, as such, the plate section, rather than isolating black artists, features works by non-black artists dealing with race and race- related subjects. As a collection book, the volume provides scholars and curators with information about the Museum's holdings, at times disclosing works that have been little documented or exhibited. The numerous and high-quality illustrations will appeal to anyone interested in art made by black artists, or in modern art in general.
African Artists
In recent years Africa's booming art scene has gained substantial global attention, with a growing number of international exhibitions and a stronger-than-ever presence on the art market worldwide. Here, for the first time, is the most substantial survey to date of modern and contemporary African-born or Africa-based artists. Working with a panel of experts, this volume builds on the success of Phaidon's bestselling Great Women Artists in re-writing a more inclusive and diverse version of art history.
Open Studio
The book invites you into the private studios of seventeen of the most celebrated contemporary artists as they draw, paint, sculpt, or design an original project for readers to recreate at home. It demystifies the studio practice through the fun, accessible format of D.I.Y., leading you step-by-step through each artist's project. Eight inserts specially designed by the artists for completing their projects - from stencils to cut-outs - are included. The result can inspire people everywhere to blaze their own creative trails
