(CASTEEL, JORDAN). Casteel, Jordan, Massimiliano Gioni. Dawoud Bey, Lauren Haynes, Amanda Hunt & Thelma Golden. Foreword by Lisa Phillips. New York: New Museum, 2020. First Edition. Small Folio. Illustrated Wrappers. Artist Monograph. As New.. 410pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. "This is the nicely appointed catalogue published in conjunction with artist Jordan Casteel’s first solo museum exhibition in New York. It surveys forty large-scale paintings from throughout her career, including works from the celebrated series "Visible Man" (2013-14) and "Nights in Harlem" (2017), along with recent cropped "subway paintings" and portraits of her students at Rutgers University-Newark. Whether depicting former classmates from Yale, nude and in serene repose; street vendors near her home in Harlem; anonymous New Yorkers huddled on the subway; or her own students, posed largely in domestic interiors among their personal belongings, she explores how both public and private spheres can serve as frames for an inner life. This generously illustrated, oversized publication is the first comprehensive monographic publication on Casteel’s work, and includes texts by Dawoud Bey, Amanda Hunt and Lauren Haynes as well as conversations conducted with the artist by Massimiliano Gioni and Thelma Golden." A brand new, most handsome example of this lovely, already out of print document. Inventory Number: 026896
