Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Shortlisted for the Alfred H. Barr Jr. Award, College Art Association"
"An Art Newspaper Top Art Book of the Year"
"This beautiful book . . . details the artist’s journeys over 50 years, from trips to Morocco in 1968 and Guatemala in 2018. . . . It is as close as a mass-produced art tome gets to an artist’s book—a covetable object in its own right."
---Ben Luke, The Art Newspaper"Determined to expand awareness about this much overlooked Black artist,
Betye Saar . . . extends the previous scope of insight into her practice beyond her assemblages; the book includes color reproductions of half a dozen notebooks from her decades of world travel."
---Patrick James Dunagan, Rain Taxi Review of Books"Full-colour throughout, this fabulous volume—as close as commercial publishing gets to an artist’s book—explores the importance of travel for the African American sculptor Betye Saar. Interweaving the explanatory text and images of Saar’s assemblages (found material combined with the artist’s own drawings and paintings) are full-page facsimiles of her fascinating travel journals."
---Jacqueline Riding, The Art Newspaper
