Howardena Pindell: What Remains To Be Seen

Accompanying an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, this is the first comprehensive monograph of artist and activist Howardena Pindell (b. 1943). With a career spanning more than 50 years, Pindell was the first African American woman curator at the Museum of Modern Art, paving the way for future women curators, such as editors Beckwith (Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago) and Oliver (Virginia Museum of Fine Arts). The racial, political, and feminist critiques of Pindell's work are explored in several essays, a fascinating chronology, round-table discussion, an artist interview, and a selection of Pindell's writings. Color reproductions of paintings, altered photographs, and video stills are striking. Detail images emphasize the texture and pattern within her work. A selected bibliography and exhibition checklist round out this exhaustive volume.
