Derrick Adams
Hardback
Through portraits, social scenes, photographs, sculptures, and immersive installations, Derrick Adams has developed an artistic practice that visualizes modern Black American life. Equally informed by popular culture as he is by the history of modernist art, Adams creates vivid, exuberant scenes of normalcy and perseverance that expand the dialogue around contemporary Black culture.
Organized around three primary motivations behind his practice - channeling, signaling, and mirroring - this book presents 150 of the most significant works from Adams's thirty-year career and establishes him as one of the most important figurative artists working today.Buy now!
