Description

Groundbreaking artist and sculptor Sam Gilliam became known in the post-war America for his abstract work and experimental approach to art. An African American artist who emerged from the Washington, D.C. art scene in the 1950s and 1960s, at the height the Civil Rights movement, Gilliam was a pioneer and trailblazer. His distinctive style explored the boundaries between painting, sculpture and printmaking, challenging traditional norms and ultimately setting the foundation for the development of installation art that placed artworks in dialogue with architecture or natural settings.

This book offers the first comprehensive exploration of Sam Gilliam’s career, featuring iconic artworks, including his famous Drape paintings, and never-before-seen archival images provided by the Sam Gilliam Foundation. Texts by Ishmael Reed, Mary Schmidt Campbell and Andria Hickey also offer new insights into the work and life of the master of lyrical abstraction. A thoughtful gift for art lovers, Sam Gilliam features examples of artworks that span five decades, providing a fascinating glimpse into a significant chapter of American art history.
