David Hammons: Body Prints, 1968-1979 (Second Edition)

Image 1 of 8
David Hammons: Body Prints, 1968–1979 is the first publication to focus exclusively on these pivotal early works on paper in which the artist used the body as both a drawing tool and printing plate to explore performative, unconventional forms of image making. Together, the body prints highlighted in this volume introduce the major themes of a fifty-year career that has become central to the history of postwar American art. This edition features a conversation between curator and activist Linda Goode Bryant and artist Senga Nengudi, as well as a photo essay by photographer Bruce W. Talamon, who documented David Hammons at work in his Los Angeles studio in 1974.
