Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia, this book surveys and celebrates the work of artist Radcliffe Bailey (b.1968). With extraordinary energy and exuberant skill, Bailey creates paintings, sculptures, installations, and large mixed media works that draw inspiration from African and many other sources of visual representation--to explore ideas of ancestry, race, memory, struggle, and sacrifice. Seventy works are presented supported by a major essay by Carol Thompson (curator of African art, High Museum of Art) and shorter essays by other contributors. The volume measures 9.25x11.5".
