Young, gifted and Black: a new generation of artists : the Lumpkin-Boccuzzi Family Collection of Contemporary Art

  • Alternate title

    Lumpkin-Boccuzzi Family Collection of Contemporary Art

Abstract

"Highlighting a dynamic new generation of black artists, 'Young, Gifted and Black' surveys works drawn from the prestigious collection of Bernard I. Lumpkin and Carmine D. Boccuzzi, longtime champions of emerging artists of African descent. Edited by Antwaun Sargent, the book features over 100 artworks -- including painting, photography, sculpture, and performance -- that explore collective memory, struggle, and self-representation. With texts by curators and artists offering diverse perspectives, [this book] speaks broadly to notions of community and identity that, while rooted in the specific experience of blackness, capture how these artists are shaping the ways we think about representation, race, and the history of art."-- From back cover.
