About this product
Product Information
This richly illustrated full-color catalog accompanies the first major solo museum exhibition and most comprehensive survey of the artist Wangechi Mutu's work, on view at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University from March 21, 2013, through July 21, 2013, before traveling to the Brooklyn Museum. Born in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1972, and now based in Brooklyn, Mutu renders the complex global sensibility of the early twenty-first century through a distinctly hybrid aesthetic. She combines found materials and magazine cutouts with sculpture and painted imagery, sampling from sources and phenomena as diverse as African traditions, international politics, the fashion industry, and science fiction. In her work, Mutu marries poetic symbolism with sociopolitical critique to explore issues of gender, race, war, colonialism, and, particularly, the exoticization of the black female body. The many images included in Wangechi Mutu: A Fantastic Journey highlight the most important and iconic works that Mutu has created since the mid-1990s, as well as portray new collages, drawings, videos, and site-specific installations. The catalog also offers an intimate look into her sketchbooks and includes an interview with the artist conducted by the exhibition's curator, Trevor Schoonmaker. Essays by Schoonmaker, the art historian Kristine Stiles, and the critic, musician, and producer Greg Tate are paired with an illustrated chronology of Mutu's work.

Reviews
An extremely handsome book for an artist who received her MFA in 2000, and brings multiple perspectives to the work. . . . It is beautifully produced, and so permeated with Mutu's work that it begins and ends with several text-less pages of drawings, and her work occupies both end-papers and cover. What an inspired idea., "An extremely handsome book for an artist who received her MFA in 2000, and brings multiple perspectives to the work. . . .

Seller made a genuine and honest mistake and accidentally swapped orders, but went above and beyond and gave a swift and unprompted refund and sent it back my way. The CD arrived in excellent packaging and exactly as described. Definitely a positive experience and would absolutely recommend this seller!
