First edition softover in stiff printed wrappers with French flaps. 74pp. with color illustrations. Clean, unmarked, well bound. Book in custom cut protective mylar cover. Minor wear to wraps' edges, page interiors fresh and bright. In overall very good condition. Published to coincide with an exhibition of the same name at the Studio Museum in Harlem, 2010, the artist's first solo museum exhibition. Essays by Thelma Golden, Naomi Beckwith, Okwui Enwezor, and a "Treatment for a Low-Budget Television Horror with the Working Title: "Dinner with Jeffrey"" by Yiadom-Boakye. "The twenty-four works on view are a mix of her larger and smaller canvases of fictional portraits, primarily oil-on-canvas. Similar to a novelist, Yiadom-Boakye creates characters that have lively back stories; yet she leaves it up to the viewer s imagination to fill in the details of these fictional lives. She works quickly, embracing the physicality and technicality of painting, and often destroys unsuccessful work a strategy she says helps her maintain freshness and urgency. Language is a strong influence on Yiadom-Boakye; in addition to painting she is a prolific writer of fiction, poetry and essays.". Seller Inventory # ABE-1683325622626
