Contemporary portraiture of the first rank. "Since 1975, Dawoud Bey has developed a body of work distinguished for its commitment to portraiture as a means of reflecting social circumstances. Ranging from street encounters to studio portraits, Bey has investigated numerous photographic methods to find increased engagement with his subjects. Includes selections from Bey's work spanning the thirty years from 1982 to the present. Offers a comprehensive look at Bey's oeuvre. Provides an opportunity to explore related subjects in art history and social discourse: The presentation of self, race, site, and the relationship between artist and subject. Essays by Arthur Danto and Julie Bernson as well as an Interview between Bey and the Renaissance Society Associate Curator/Director of Education, Hamza Walker" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Dawoud Bey collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Dawoud Bey.
