By Claudia Rankine, Sampada Aranke, and Akili Tommasino Working with a variety of media that includes painting, sculpture, photography, video, and performance, Rashid Johnson has c reated a nuanced and iconographic body of work that connects literature, music, and art. Personal references and pervasive cultural narratives are interweaved with the legacy of modernist abstraction, producing what critics have labeled ‘conceptual post-black art’. A precocious talent (his work was included in the seminal ‘Freestyle’ exhibition in New York in 2001), Johnson received the High Museum of Art’s David C. Driskell Prize, which honors contributions in the field of African-American art. Phaidon Press, 2023 Softcover, 160 pages 11 x 10 inches Show more
