First edition. 10 x 7.5 inches. 96 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original pictorial boards. "The work of American sculptor and musician Terry Adkins (1953-2014) often started with a theme or idea, illuminated by sculptural components that sometimes housed a performative element. The performative and sculptural aspects of his practice evolved in tandem, and utilized materials that had likely served another purpose, be they instruments, materials from his printmaking experiences or locally sourced items. This catalog accompanies Lévy Gorvy's first solo exhibition of Adkins' works, exploring the materiality of his sculptures. The exhibition was curated by Charles Gaines, a celebrated artist and longtime friend and collaborator of Adkins', who contributes an essay to this publication that explores the experience of viewing Adkins' sculptures. Also included are an essay by Michael Brenson and newly commissioned poetry by Robin Coste Lewis" (the publisher). New in shrinkwrap.…

Measures: 16 W x 25 L x 2 H inches. About the artist: Terry Adkins (1953 2014) created the portfolio The Philadelphia Negro Reconsidered in collaboration with The Common Press at the University of Pennsylvania, which is directed by Matt Neff. The portfolio was inspired by The Philadelphia Negro - W.E.B. Du Bois pioneering demographic study of Philadelphia s original 7th Ward. Terry Adkins s art is in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, Pérez Art Museum Miami, and Tate Modern, among others, and has been exhibited around the world. About the publisher: The Common Press is the letterpress printing studio at the University of Pennsylvania. The press is a collaboration of interests at Penn, including writing (Kelly Writers House), print culture (the Rare Book & Manuscript Library) and visual arts and design (the School of Design). The facility provides a mixed media environment where students can move between digital and manual image making, collaborating with writers, printmakers and others in the book arts. The Common Press exists to assist in teaching design and to facilitate collaborative projects across the university. It was founded on January 17, 2006, the 300th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin s birth. Provenance: Arthur E. McFarlane II (W.E.B. Du Bois great grandson). On Friday, February 12, 2012, the whole portfolio was presented to Arthur by Terry Adkins personally when the UPenn Board of Trustees gave his Grandpa an honorary doctorate (of which he received the original along with a proclamation by the Philadelphia City Council and Mayor Nutter). About the work: Neff, the manager of Penn s Common Press and Print Shop, along with PennDesign s Marc Blumthal and Ivanco Talevski, worked closely with Adkins on the portfolio, which was inspired by W.E.B. Du Bois The Philadelphia Negro, the 1899 demographic study of black people living in Philadelphia s original Seventh Ward. The area covered Spruce to South streets and Seventh Street to the Schuylkill River. Terry is not just rethinking Du Bois as an artist and a practitioner, he s reconsidering the visual work, says Neff. He wanted to recast Du Bois as one of the first modernist painters, predating Piet Mondrian paintings of urban landscapes. In the original research, conducted for Penn in 1896 and 1897, Du Bois went from house to house interviewing heads of households to gather information such as profession and socio-economic status, as well as whether they were affected by social problems such as poverty and crime. To create the screen prints, Adkins, who joined the Penn faculty in 2000, used Du Bois hand-drawn maps of the neighborhood with its color-coded bar graphs of Du Bois findings, and Adkins had Du Bois maps layered to produce the prints. The maps are layered visually, but the content conceptually are super-layered, says Neff. There's a lot happening behind those images. What contemporary art does is, it shows you something that you can take on the surface as what you re seeing, but, if you look into it, there's much more embedded in it. Adkins 18 prints in the portfolio were created in 2012 to commemorate the appointment of Du Bois as an honorar. Signed by Illustrator(s). …
