Amy Sherald - the World We Make

The first widely available monograph on Amy Sherald, this major publication marked the acclaimed artist's first solo show in Europe, combining vivid reproductions of Sherald's iconic work with in-the-studio photographs and newly commissioned texts. This major publication - the first widely-available monograph on Amy Sherald - accompanies the artist's exhibition at Hauser & Wirth London, marking Sherald's first solo show in Europe. Significant newly-commissioned texts include an art historical analysis by Jenni Sorkin, a mediation on the aesthetics and politics of Sherald's portraiture by Kevin Quashie, and a conversation between the artist and Ta-Nehisi Coates. Beautifully reproducing Sherald's recent paintings with an attention to their poignant details, this publication also illustrates a wide selection of earlier work alongside the essays and includes a series of in-the-studio photographs that provide an intimate glimpse into her process and practice.
