Hardcover. First Edition. Colorfully illustrated boards with black cloth spine, with gilt lettering; white DJ with red and orange illustration and lettering; 255 pp.; richly illustrated. Long before Harlem became one of the trendiest neighborhoods in the red-hot real estate market of Manhattan, it was a metaphor for African American culture at its richest. Allon Schoener's celebrated Harlem on My Mind is the classic record of Harlem life during some of the most exciting and turbulent years of its history, a beautiful and poignant reminder of a powerful moment in African America history. Including the work of some of Harlem's most treasured photographers, among them James Van Der Zee and Gordon Parks, there are photographs of Harlem's literary lights Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and Richard Wright; its politicians Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, and Adam Clayton Powell Jr.; and its musicians Ethel Waters, Duke Ellington, and Billie Holiday. The book also includes the photographs of the everyday folk who gave life to this legendary community. These extraordinary images are juxtaposed with articles from publications such as the New York Times and the Amsterdam News, which have helped to record the life of one of New York's most memorialized neighborhoods.-- Amazon.

Hardcover. dj. First Bookstore Edition, First Printing. Quarto, 255 pages. In Very Good minus condition with Very Good minus condition dust jacket.

Boards have mild general shelving wear along extremities. Text block moderately age toned, publisher's glue visible along tail edge of rear pastedown.

Contains insert from publisher regarding the decision to include Candice Van Ellison's controversial introduction between the rear cover of DJ and mylar covering. Contains pages from April 21, 1968 THE SUNDAY MAGAZINE of Bruce Davidson's photographs of Harlem and accompanying text between front endpapers. Controversy shrouded The Metropolitan Museum of Art's "Harlem on my Mind" long before its doors opened in 1969. The exhibition, which then-director Thomas Hoving asked Allon Schoener to guest curate as part of the museum's suite of centennial exhibitions, was nascent when Black artists began to withdraw support. They cited the lack of inclusion of Black artists working in and transforming the Harlem art scene, some of whom were already part of The MET's collection, such as the painter Jacob Lawrence. Inclusion was not in the vocabulary of the exhibition, which consisted of photographs featuring (yet clearly decentering) unnamed Harlem residents pictured next to prominent figures. The introduction chosen by Schoener for the catalog, an essay written by 17 year old Harlem resident Candice Van Ellison, contained anti-semitic and anti-Irish slurs which further offended Harlem residents in the wake of racial battles over the school district. In response to the exhibition, Black New York artists formed the Black Emergency Cultural Coalition to protest the exhibition for the entirety of its 16-week run. These protests responded to the exhibition with the question "Harlem on Whose Mind?", calling out white supremacy in the museum setting. Hoving agreed to pull the catalogue from publication and include inserts addressing the controversy in all existing copies. The BECC acted as a catalyst for major change in the ways that museums exhibit Black art, the reverberations of which are felt in the art world today as diverse artists continue the struggle to tell their own narratives. 1395659.
