Hardback. Condition: New. Bowling's transition to abstraction, seen against the backdrop of 1960s-'70s debates on abstract art and the Black Arts movement"Modernism belonged to me also." So resolved the British Guiana-born artist Frank Bowling in 1966, when he moved from his temporary home base of London to New York City, keen to make his mark on modern painting. This volume surveys for the first time the transformative years that Bowling spent in the US from 1966 through 1975, a chapter of extraordinary productivity and artistic growth that would greatly shape his thinking and practice.Bowling's relocation to New York brought him into contact with an art scene in flux, with abstract painting on the rise and vigorous debates unfolding around Black cultural identity and artistic practice. Bowling participated in this scene in broad and deep ways, from his unique vantage point as an emigre twice over: exhibiting widely, writing for art magazines, engaging peers in dialogue and, in 1969, organizing 5+1, an exhibition of five leading African American abstract artists plus himself. During these years, his own work explored the tension between representational imagery and fields of color, ultimately moving toward full abstraction.Frank Bowling's Americas assembles more than 30 paintings-many rarely seen-from this critical period, and places them in the context of both Bowling's own artistic trajectory and the New York art scene at a time of aesthetic and racial reckoning. Offering magnificent reproductions of these vibrant, multifaceted works, accompanied by curatorial essays and statements by contemporary artists, this book invites new understanding of an artist whose work has remained always in motion.Born in British Guiana in 1934, Frank Bowling arrived in London in 1953, graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1962. By the early 1960s, he was recognized as an original force in London's art scene. After moving to New York in 1966, Bowling shifted away from figurative imagery. He returned to London in 1975 but continued to spend significant periods in New York. Bowling was awarded a knighthood in 2020. He is the subject of a BBC documentary, Frank Bowling's Abstract World.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Published on the occasion of a major new career retrospective, Marcia Marcus: I Paint What I Like provides a much-needed, extensive monographic exploration of the art of Marcia Marcus (1928-2025), a strikingly original artist whose contributions have been overlooked. My favorite goddess has always been Athena, both because of her virtues and the implied independence that is a result of her power.-Marcia Marcus Eye-poppingly modern commented the New York Times of Marcia Marcus's art in her obituary, published in April 2025. Days later, a long-scheduled exhibition at New York's Levy Gorvy Dayan gallery presented Marcus's work alongside contemporaries Alice Neel and Sylvia Sleigh-a testament to her place among postwar American figurative painters. Over several decades, Marcus's fiercely original paintings challenged the common understanding of postwar American art. In the 1950s, she rejected abstraction in favor of poised figurative paintings of people, landscapes, and still lifes, suffused with her signature suspenseful quality. A vivid presence in Manhattan's downtown art scene and in Provincetown, she was one of the first women to stage a Happening. Prescient, she painted subjects that peers rarely explored-motherhood; male nudes; female role play-years before such topics gained wider currency. While her work later fell into obscurity, its recent reemergence has revealed Marcus to be an artist working way ahead of her time. This new volume establishes her multifaceted significance: innovative downtown artist, creator of unapologetically assertive self-portraits, and essential forerunner of figurative painting today. AUTHORS: Brandon Brame Fortune is chief curator emerita, National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution. Debra Lennard is an independent scholar and associate curator, Hayward Gallery Touring, London. Melissa Rachleff is clinical professor in the Visual Arts Administration Program at NYU Steinhardt, and curator of Inventing Downtown: Artist-Run Galleries in New York City, 19521965, Grey Art Museum, NYU, 2017. SELLING POINTS: . Works like Self-portrait in Black (1959), Frieze: The Porch (1964), and Renoir (1968), show her to be a startlingly modern painter, whose work resonates strongly with that of contemporary portrait painters. . Features contributions by artists with a variety of perspectives on Marcus's art and legacy; including her peers Martha Edelheit, Mimi Gross, and Alex Katz, as well as leading contemporary artist Chantal Joffe. . Monographic survey situates Marcus within an expanded American art history, and comprehensively illustrates her art through generous colour plate reproductions. 100 colour illustrations Published on the occasion of a major newcareer retrospective, this new volume provides a much-needed, extensivemonographic exploration of a strikinglyoriginal artist.
