“It’s so hard to choose just one book, but at the top of my list is Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power, edited by Mark Godfrey and Zoé Whitley. Soul of a Nation is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American art and the importance of black artists in that history. The book is both a record and a revelation, making the presence of African-American artists acutely visible in tandem with the radical changes that occurred in art and politics from the 1960s to the 1980s. In it, essays grapple with questions of abstraction and figuration from the perspective of black artists. Likewise, various entries on specific movements, artists, and moments in time revise the canonical history of American art with the experience of black artists. Besides the documentation of murals, graphic arts, and performances, the gems in the book are in the recollections of [the] African-American curators, scholars, and artists who played critical roles in creating this history and making it visible.” — Andria Hickey, Senior Director and Curator, Pace Gallery
